Chelsea are reportedly turning their attention to free agent Georginio Wijnaldum after missing out on Lamine Camara, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).
The report claims the Blues have made contact with the former Liverpool and Netherlands midfielder as they look for reinforcements following the sale of Enzo Fernandez. With Camara's move falling through, Chelsea are said to be exploring alternative options in the market, and Wijnaldum's availability on a free transfer makes him an appealing short-term fix.
The 34-year-old, who left Anfield for Paris Saint-Germain back in 2020, has since had spells in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and would arrive with no transfer fee attached if Chelsea push the deal through.
It's worth stressing this is only reported interest at this stage rather than an agreed deal, and further details on personal terms or a timeline have not been disclosed. GoalPoles will continue tracking developments as Chelsea look to bolster their midfield ranks before the market moves on.
