Chelsea will reportedly compete with Nottingham Forest to sign 22-year-old American midfielder Yunus Musah from AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Yunus Musah is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Blues are keen on bolstering their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the AC Milan prospect has emerged as a target for the West London club.
The Serie A giants are ready to part ways with the New York City native in the summer transfer window, thus boosting Chelsea’s prospects. However, the 2024/25 UEFA Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup winners face stiff competition from fellow Premier League club Nottingham Forest for the American midfielder’s signature.
Yunus Musah and his Serie A spell so far
Yunus Musah has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining AC Milan from Valencia in a deal worth €21 million in August 2023. While the 22-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in the last two seasons, he has struggled to nail down a regular spot in the starting lineup due to his bouts of inconsistency.
The USMNT international has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for AC Milan while chipping in with five assists. However, Musah may have played his final game for the Rossoneri, as the Serie A giants are ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. Chelsea will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Yunus Musah has been on Chelsea’s radar for several years. The continued interest makes sense, considering the Blues have sold Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and they are ready to part ways with Carney Chukwuemeka in the summer transfer window. With Andrey Santos facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea can do with another midfielder.
So, Musah has emerged as a viable target for Chelsea, with his versatility making him an appealing option for the West London outfit. However, the 2024/25 UEFA Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup winners face stiff competition from fellow Premier League club Nottingham Forest for the American midfielder’s signature.
Recent reports have also linked the 22-year-old USMNT international with other Premier League outfits. Meanwhile, it is unclear how much AC Milan will demand to part ways with Musah in the summer transfer window amid his links with Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
