Chelsea have reportedly held talks with the representatives of Fenerbahce defender Attila Szalai over a potential move in the January transfer window.
According to a report from Football Insider, Chelsea are considering making a swoop for Fenerbahce and Hungary centre-back Attila Szalai in the January window and have opened talks with his agents over a possible transfer.
Szalai began his footballing education in his homeland, Hungary but joined the Rapid Wien youth academy in Austria in 2012. The defender spent over five years at the club but managed just one senior appearance before leaving for Hungarian outfit Mezokovesd Zsory FC in 2017. After two years at the club, he signed for Cypriot club Apollon Limassol in 2019.
After making close to 50 appearances, Szalai moved to Fenerbahce in January and has become a mainstay at the heart of the defence for the Turkish giants, featuring 41 times in which he has three goals. A regular for the Hungarian national team since making his debut in 2019, he has 23 international caps.
The 23-year-old’s progression with club and country have led to an interest in his services from top clubs in Europe, including Barcelona and Chelsea. But it seems like the Blues are stepping up their pursuit of Szalai, having already opened talks with the representatives of the Hungarian international in London exploring the possibility of a transfer in January.
