According to Calciomercato, Chelsea has shown interest in Juventus keeper Wojciech Szczesny as an alternative to Andre Onana.
Inter Milan’s high asking price for Onana has led the Blues to consider the experienced Juventus goalkeeper. Szczesny has been a highly regarded goalkeeper in Serie A for many years, making a name for himself since his arrival in Italy in 2015 when he joined AS Roma on loan from Arsenal.
After moving to Juventus in 2017, Szczesny has been a consistent performer, making 215 appearances and achieving 87 clean sheets.
While the keeper’s future at Juventus is uncertain, there is potential for a return to the Premier League with Chelsea expressing interest.
It is expected that Mauricio Pochettino will be appointed as Chelsea’s next manager, and the club is actively planning for the summer transfer window. They have identified the need for a goalkeeper ahead of the 2023/24 season, with Andre Onana as their primary target.
However, the high price tag set by Inter Milan for Onana has led Chelsea to consider Szczesny as an alternative option to strengthen their squad.
Despite nearing the later stage of his career, he is still considered one of the top goalkeepers in Serie A, making Chelsea’s interest understandable.
The possibility of a deal for the Polish keeper will depend on whether Inter Milan maintains their valuation for Onana. It will be interesting to see if Mauricio Pochettino influences Chelsea’s pursuit of Wojciech Szczesny in the upcoming summer transfer window.
It is worth noting that any potential deal involving Szczesny may attract controversy due to his past association with Arsenal.
