Chelsea gone MAD: They can't stop signing and offer 50 million for him
The Blues are looking to fix their troubled start to the Premier League with their chequebook
Chelsea have gone mad. The Blues been spending record amounts of money late in this transfer window, as they look set to spend £185 million in a single position if the rumours linking them with Gvardiol are confirmed. However, that won't stop them from spending even more money on other positions, and now they're linked with another big transfer fee as they chase Ajax's Edson Alvarez.

Should Edson Alvarez become a Chelsea player, it will be 266 millions in sales for Ajax.
