Will Mattia Mustacchio leave CSA Steaua and join Chelsea?

Rumour report

(Latest update: )

Momentum is building for Mattia Mustacchio's transfer to Chelsea, as reports suggest a 75% probability of the deal moving forward. Here is why.

  • There are few players in the current Chelsea squad who are considered better in the same position, which enhances Mattia Mustacchio's chances of playing a key role within the team.
  • Chelsea has often bought players who are approximately the same age as the current age of Mattia Mustacchio (36).
  • The absence of key players at Chelsea who play in the same position as Mattia Mustacchio increases his chances of playing a significant role in the short term and allows him to establish himself as a valuable asset in Chelsea's squad.
