Chelsea’s Ike Ugbo Close To €5m Genk Move

By Daily sports on August 12, 2021

Chelsea are ratifying the final details of a €5 million (£4m/$6m) offer from Genk for striker Ike Ugbo, with the move expected to be completed in the next week.

The 22-year-old has been involved for Thomas Tuchel’s side in pre-season but negotiations around his future have been going on behind the scenes.

The homegrown star had approaches from Fulham, Watford, Monaco and Anderlecht after an exceptional season on loan at Cercle Brugge. However, Genk’s proposal was the strongest overall and ensured that they won the race for Ugbo.

Chelsea lose a young striker who was with the club since he was nine years old but they continue to make money from their loan group and academy.

Having also sold the likes of Fikayo Tomori, Marc Guehi and Olivier Giroud this summer, Chelsea are expected to raise well over £100m in player sales.

This comes after Chelsea accepted a £34m ($47m) offer from Roma for Tammy Abraham, although Ugbo’s former strike partner has not yet agreed on personal terms.

These player sales are expected to cover the entire cost of the £98m ($136m) signing of Romelu Lukaku, with further business expected afterwards.

Sevilla defender Jules Kounde is a target for the west Londoners too, but the Spanish club have taken a strong stance on a £68m ($94m) price tag. (Goal)
