One of Chelsea's most prestigious youngsters might leave the club.
Chelsea has had a turbulent summers at Stamford Bridge, with the club switching managers, making moves and dealing with the transfer market, and experiencing a number of subpar training results.
Before the Profit and Sustainability Rules ( PSR ) bill was passed, the Todd Boehly regime's financial maneuvers in recent years are well documented. Due to domestic sales falling as a result, the company sold a number of college players.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are said to be interested in selling one of the league's top prospects, with it seeming like teams are giving in to Chelsea's desire to sell their best younger stars.
Eighteen-year-old defender Josh Acheampong is seen as one of the best leads coming out of the league's Cobham club and the Independent statement that the two German giants are looking to take advantage of Chelsea's willingness to sacrifice young players to join their PSR commitments.
The Chelsea club has a record 44 participants on their books, according to the report, who adds that Chelsea are willing to buy Acheampong, who can perform at right-back and center-back, and who is viewed as a potential replacement for Leny Yoro, who Manchester United purchased from Lille for £52million this summer.
But while Yoro had played 60 older games before his move, Acheampong's lack of first-team action means Real Madrid and PSG believe a bargain can be done for €15million, with Chelsea's PSR position and the size of their club even contributing to this split price assessment.
Chelsea are set to buy Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid, while another college student Trevoh Chalobah is also likely to leave this summers.
