As the 2024-25 season draws to a close, Chelsea are already planning their future and looking to strengthen their squad for next season. To this end, the English club is keen to sign talented 19-year-old Como attacker Assane Diao.

Chelsea are reportedly preparing a €50 million offer for the Como and Senegal national team forward. Chelsea considers the young Senegalese international a promising prospect and are expected to intensify their efforts before the 2025 summer transfer window. The Blues' interest in Diao is part of their quest to acquire the best young talent in world football.

Since his arrival during the last winter transfer window, Diao has literally walked on water. He has already scored 8 goals and provided 1 assist in just 15 Italian Serie A matches.

He has scored more goals with Como than during his two professional seasons with Betis, where he scored 6 times in 47 appearances. The young Spanish-born Senegalese player is proving that he is on the rise. Furthermore, he has been named Man of the Match five times in Serie A this season.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea's intention will materialize into an offer this summer.
