Chelsea linked with transfers for Mac Allister and Kounde

Chelsea are reportedly interested in several high-profile transfers to bolster their squad. The club is linked to Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has publicly expressed dissatisfaction regarding the lack of a new contract at Anfield. Mac Allister is also reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid.

Additionally, Chelsea are maintaining a long-term interest in Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. Sources suggest Barcelona may be open to selling the Frenchman as early as January or by 2027 due to pressure to make sales and his limited playing time in LaLiga. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is said to have green-lit the pursuit of Kounde to provide additional cover at right-back.
