Chelsea open to selling Tyrique George as Roma prepare £25m bid
Chelsea could part ways with young striker Tyrique George, with AS Roma emerging as the leading contender to secure his signature before the European transfer window closes. According to BBC Sport, the Italian club is preparing a £25 million offer (around R$183 million), an amount Chelsea are willing to accept if a future resale clause is included.
Roma Pushes for Deal, Chelsea Ready to Negotiate
The 19-year-old forward, part of Enzo Maresca’s first-team plans, was left out of the recent match against West Ham, fueling speculation over an imminent transfer.
Roma’s board is impressed by George’s potential and views him as an opportunity to bolster their attacking options long-term. Negotiations are already focused on the structure of the deal, particularly the percentage of any future sale.
Player Keen on Serie A Move
Journalist Nizaar Kinsella reports that George is open to a move to Italy, attracted by the chance for regular playing time and a key role in Roma’s project. Sources close to the talks suggest the player has given the green light to explore the transfer.
Other Clubs Monitoring George
Roma is not alone in the race. Chelsea has received inquiries from other European clubs, all using the £25M benchmark as a reference for negotiations. However, Roma remains the most advanced suitor at this stage.
With the transfer window closing soon, a resolution is expected within days. George continues to train with Chelsea’s senior squad while awaiting the final decision on his future.
