Report: Chelsea now want 21-year-old prodigy Tottenham failed to sign recently
Briefly

"According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham tried to sign the player during the summer window with an offer of around 70 million, but it was rejected. Real Madrid have a buyback clause inserted into his contract, and they would be able to sign him for a fee of around 8-10 million at the end of the season. They are keen on bringing him back to the club, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can win the race for his signature."
"They will be able to pay substantially more compared to the Spanish club. It remains to be seen what the Italians decide. They are powerless to stop him from leaving the club for a nominal amount of money because of the clause in his contract. If Real Madrid decides to bring him back to the club, Chelsea will not be able to prevent them."
"However, if they manage to get the deal done, it could be a masterstroke for them. They need more creativity in the middle of the park, and the 21-year-old could be the ideal fit. The South American is an elite prospect with a bright future, and he could develop into a star for Chelsea. The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting as well. If Chelsea can provide him with regular opportunities, it would be an ideal transfer for the player."
Chelsea are interested in signing Como midfielder Nico Paz. Tottenham made a rejected summer offer of around 70 million. Real Madrid hold a buyback clause allowing a fee of roughly 8–10 million at season's end, which would enable them to re-sign him despite Como's position. Como cannot block a departure for that nominal fee. Chelsea can offer substantially more than Real but could not stop Real exercising the clause. Paz is a 21-year-old South American regarded as an elite prospect who could add midfield creativity, and regular first-team football in England could accelerate his development.
