According to reports, the Blues are among clubs pursuing the young attacking midfielder, with Manchester City also said to be monitoring his progress. The €28m valuation for a player with such creative output represents excellent value, with his price potentially rising to €40m given his potential.
Chelsea is expected to continue its strategy of targeting young players between 18-23 years old this summer, making Karetsas an ideal acquisition as the club looks to build for the future while remaining competitive in the present.
