Reportedly, N’Golo Kante is close to extending his contract at Stamford Bridge, possibly by a 3-year extension.
Nevertheless, the West London club are planning to reinforce their midfield. Even though they already have Enzo Fernández.
Dominik Szoboszlai is a player who plays as an attacking midfielder for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
The Hungarian professional rumor to Chelsea has been ongoing since last season. The Blues always have the player on their radar.
It looks like the Premier League side are back to keeping tabs on the 22-year-old midfielder. He’s a player with a high ceiling.
Having already signed Christopher Nkunku, who will definitely join Graham Potter’s troops in June.
Chelsea are most likely to sign more than two players from RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga side have many brilliant footballers.

Regardless, his presence won’t necessarily hinder the 22-year-old Hungarian’s move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
