Chelsea Set to Trigger €106.5M Release Clause for Kudus

Chelsea Reportedly Ready to Activate Mohammed Kudus €106.5M Release Clause This Summer

In a significant transfer development, it has been claimed that Chelsea Football Club is getting ready to sign Mohammed Kudus, a winger for West Ham United, during the next summer transfer window. Several sources claim that the London-based team is keen to use the Ghanaian star’s €106.5 million release clause in an effort to increase their offensive options. Top European teams have taken notice of Kudus, 24, because of his outstanding performances and adaptability on the field. In the midst of Mykhailo Mudryk’s absence due to a doping controversy, Chelsea is showing interest in the former Ajax midfielder. The Ukrainian winger is now awaiting the findings of his B-sample after testing positive for meldonium in late 2024. If it comes out positive, he might be banned for a long four years.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Mudryk’s future, Chelsea see Kudus as a strong contender to take his place on the wing. With three goals and three assists in all competitions this season, the Ghanaian international has been a bright spot for West Ham. Kudus is still in high demand on the transfer market even though his performance has slightly declined from the previous season. But Chelsea has fierce competition. The gifted winger is apparently attracting interest from other top teams, including as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. According to reports, PSG has already started talking to Kudus’ representation, and Al-Nassr, a Saudi club, has submitted an incredible offer of £87 million, which is more than West Ham’s £74 million asking price.

Given that Kudus has only scored three goals and provided two assists in 25 Premier League games, Tottenham in particular may find it difficult to compete in the bidding war as the team considers its options. All eyes will be on Kudus and the next phase of his thriving career as the transfer window draws near.
