Chelsea is interested in signing 21-year-old Ecuadorian Yaimar Medina from KRC Genk this transfer window, with a plan to then move him to Strasbourg. The Premier League club reportedly scouted Medina during a match against Cercle Brugge. KRC Genk currently has no interest in discussing a transfer, but could be open to discussions for an offer considered irresistible. Genk, which signed Medina a year ago for 4.85 million euros, holds a strong negotiating position as the player is under contract until mid-2029. Medina has 4 caps for Ecuador. Transfermarkt lists his current market value as €4.00m.
