Chelsea is being considered as a potential contender in the race to sign Lamine Yamal, with reports suggesting that major clubs across Europe, such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Real Madrid, have reached out to his agent Jorge Mendes to explore a possible transfer. Amid Barcelona's financial challenges, the club might contemplate selling players, with Yamal emerging as a profitable option. It is reported that Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool are exerting significant pressure on Mendes, and it is believed that "all the big clubs," possibly including Chelsea and Arsenal, are keen on securing a deal. Yamal's existing contract with Barcelona is set to expire in the summer of 2026, and although he has indicated his wish to remain with the club, the interest from top-tier teams continues to escalate.
