Jefte, a left-back, has been linked with a potential move to Chelsea, according to a report from Brazil. He joined Rangers from Fluminense for £700,000. Chelsea is reportedly impressed by his impact at Rangers and is prepared to make a bid in the final days of the transfer window. It has been reported that talks have been initiated, but no agreement has been reached yet. Chelsea is said to be willing to resume negotiations in the summer if an agreement is not reached now. Fluminense retained 20% of the player's rights, which entitles them to a share of any future transfer. This report coincides with Renato Veiga's departure to Juventus on loan, which leaves a spot open in Chelsea's squad. Jefte has made 34 appearances for Rangers and is considered to have a high ceiling.
