Chelsea reached an individual agreement with Jorrel Hato, negotiating to exchange people for Xavi Simons

Hato agrees to Stamford Bridge

As revealed from Goal, Chelsea has reached a personal agreement with Jorrel Hato. The 19 -year -old center -back had an impressive 2024/25 season in the Dutch team shirt, played 50 matches and scored 3 goals. He is considered as one of the brightest defensive talents in Europe.

Ajax pricing Hato at over £ 40 million, and although there has been no official agreement between the two clubs, Chelsea is considered to be willing to spend bold to overcome competitors like Arsenal and Liverpool in the race to win this player's signature.

Hato can play well both the left -back and left -back, the positions that are in need of strengthening at Chelsea. Owning a versatile and potential young talent like Hato is considered a strategic country in the reconstruction process of new coach Enzo Maresca.

Change chukwuemeka to get Xavi Simons

At the same time, The Sun said that Chelsea was trying to exchange Carney Chukwuemeka to own Xavi Simons, the star of PSG payroll but were lent at RB Leipzig. PSG is ready to sell Xavi if they receive a reasonable proposal, while Chelsea considers this an opportunity to strengthen the middle line with a creative and technical name.

Xavi Simons, 22, can play many different attack roles and a player model suitable for the ball control game that coach Maresca loves. The introduction of Chukwuemeka into the deal is considered a solution to reduce costs and satisfy both sides.

Although the negotiation is still in the preliminary stage, the source said that the two parties were open and ready to accelerate the exchange process before entering the pre -season period.

With two strategic potential deals, one in the defense (HATO) and one in the midfield (Simons), Chelsea shows the determination to refresh the squad in a youthful, dynamic, prepared way for a new period under Maresca.
