Chelsea are unsure over whether to press ahead with a move for Jhon Duran despite being given permission to discuss personal terms with the Aston Villa striker. Villa are ready to offload the Colombian, who is valued at 40m. Chelsea are conducting background checks due to questions about Duran's attitude and his wage demands.
Villa are looking to raise funds to boost their financial position before making signings. They have been in discussions with Chelsea over Conor Gallagher and are interested in Chelsea's Ian Maatsen with a 35m release clause. Chelsea are keen to move players out but are determined to keep Levi Colwill.
Chelsea prioritize signing a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson. They are also in the race to sign Crystal Palace's Michael Olise, who has a 60m release clause. Despite Chelsea's interest, Olise is considering offers from Arsenal, Bayern, Newcastle, and Manchester clubs.
