Chelsea are reportedly keeping a close eye on Monza striker Gustavo Varela as the young forward continues to attract attention from several major European clubs.
The Blues are among the teams monitoring the 21-year-old Portuguese attacker, alongside Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Arsenal, according to recent transfer reports.
Varela has made an impressive start to life at Monza following his summer move from Benfica, establishing himself as one of the club’s standout attacking players.
His goalscoring performances have attracted interest from clubs across Europe, with several sides assessing his progress ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.
Chelsea’s reported interest comes as the club continues to evaluate its attacking options under manager Xabi Alonso.
However, there is currently no indication that Chelsea have submitted an official offer for the striker or opened formal negotiations with Monza.
For now, Varela remains a player attracting attention from some of Europe’s leading clubs, with his performances in Italy likely to determine how his transfer situation develops.
