It is reported that Chelsea is preparing to make an official offer to sign 24-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Braso from Santos. The reports come after the Blues main goalkeeper Robert Sanchez performed unstable this season.

Gabriel Brasso free transfer from Inter Milan to Santos in February 2024. His contract with Brazil expires in December 2028. Brazo is in good shape this season, maintaining five clean sheets for Santos in 23 games. Chelsea are considering signing a new goalkeeper this summer to replace Espanyol as Robert Sanchez scores multiple mistakes in the Premier League.

According to UOL (h/t Chelsea Chronicle), the Blues are preparing to make an official offer for Santos star Braso this summer. West London Club has asked Brazilians in recent weeks. However, they will face competition from Porto and Galatasaray after signing him.

At the same time, Gabriel Braso is not Chelsea's only goalkeeper choice. In recent weeks, the Blues have also been linked with Dortmund's Gregor Corber, AC Milan's Mike Maninan and Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. In addition, their loaner Petrovic will return to Stamford Bridge this summer after he spent a great loan period in Strasbourg.

Petrovic may become the first goalkeeper to replace Sanchez by the English giants. However, according to reports, they can also sell him this summer and make a lot of money. All options are under consideration, and we will make further decisions after the Blues' Champions League qualification is clear next season.

It is reported that if Chelsea can advance to the Champions League, they are interested in signing Benjamin Sesco

According to the Guardian, the Blues hope to sign Leipzig RB star Benjamin Sesco if they can advance to the Champions League next season. Their fate will depend on whether they can beat Nottingham Forest in the final Premier League match on May 25. The West London giants have decided to prioritize signing a striker next season after evaluating their current striker. So far, Nicholas Jackson is unable to play due to a ban. Enzo Maresca will have to count on Christopher Nkunku or Mark Gyu to start in the league finals.

Meanwhile, Chelsea hopes to sign Benjamin Cesco if they can qualify for him for the Champions League next season. Manchester United are also competing for him, but their losses in the UEFA Cup final may affect their efforts.

The above report stated that the Blues will also consider exchanging Shesco and Nkunku. Leipzig is reportedly interested in signing Nkunku and he is also considering leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

Overall, it is a good choice for the Blues to bring in Benjamin Sesco with a trade. Meanwhile, they also have Victor Jox and Liam Drapp on their list. It will all depend on whether they can advance to the Champions League on Sunday.
