Chelsea Linked to Argentinian Striker

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Argentinian striker, Mateo Rodriguez, from River Plate. Rumours began circulating after Rodriguez's impressive performance in the Copa Libertadores final. Sources suggest that Blues manager, Mauricio Pochettino, sees Rodriguez as a potential replacement for Raheem Sterling. The player's contract runs until 2025, and River Plate are said to be demanding a fee in the region of €80 million. However, Chelsea's financial situation may limit their spending this window.

Recent reports indicate that personal terms have already been agreed upon, and the only remaining hurdle is negotiating a fee with River Plate.
