Alajbegovic was very close to joining Chelsea


Chelsea were very close to signing Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen before his move to Juventus, according to Tuttosport.

The west London giants bolstered their attack with the signings of Morgan Rogers and Geovany Quenda during the recent transfer window.

Alajbegovic was also touted to join the Blues, and reports claim that the Bosnian was ‘very close’ to making the switch before Juventus jumped in.

Blues boss Xabi Alonso revealed his plans for the youngster. He was likely to be loaned out for the season before featuring for the club next term.

This eventually went against Chelsea after Juventus joined the race for his services. The Bianconeri assured him a starting position under manager Luciano Spalletti.

Alajbegovic has started the last four matches in all competitions for the Bianconeri, and he was on the scoresheet during the 5-0 win over NEC in the Europa League.

He looks set for a huge future ahead with the Turin giants.
