Chelsea has made an approach to sign 16-year-old English Manchester City midfielder Xavier Parker and has held talks with his representatives. The London club is one of many top European teams interested in the player, who has not yet agreed to his first professional contract with City. Manchester City are trying to keep Parker and have presented him with a financial offer that sources describe as outstanding. However, fellow London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have also made approaches. Additionally, Manchester United and Liverpool have put forward proposals, while German clubs Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have all held discussions with the player's representatives. It is also reported that Real Madrid are aware of the situation and are monitoring developments. Parker has 8 caps for the England U16 team and recorded 4 goals and 6 assists in 15 appearances during the 2025/2026 U18 Premier League season.
