Chelsea are looking at signing a 30-year old midfielder as a free agent.
This is not the profile of their usual signings under the current ownership – they had the youngest squad in the Premier League last season. However, the possibility of being able to sign former Lazio star Sergej Milinković-Savić may be too good to pass up.
The Serb is currently playing his football in Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal, but his contract ends at the end of the season, and there is no indication currently that he intends to renew.
During his time in Serie A, Milinković-Savić was often linked with moves to Premier League clubs, with Manchester United amongst those interested in him at one stage, but nothing concrete ever materialised. And Chelsea were also linked with him several times, most recently in 2023.
There is no doubt that the 30-year add could add some experience to the current Chelsea squad, although his wages could be an issue.
