According to the Dutch media Telegraph, Chelsea is seriously advancing the transfer of 19-year-old Ajax defender Jorell Harto.
Its agent Humphrey Neman confirmed in time when asked: "Yes, the club has contacted Ajax. The only thing I can say at the moment is that Harto is negotiating with Chelsea."
Chelsea's interest has been around for a long time, not starting in recent days, but has been brewing for several months. As early as December last year, the Blues tried to poach Hato from Ajax for the first time. However, Chelsea was constrained by the Fiscal Fairness Act (FFP) rules at the time and needed to sell players before taking specific actions. This step has been completed now.
Harto is regarded as one of the best talented players in European football and has previously received attention from Arsenal and Real Madrid, but Chelsea is determined to defeat their competitors to sign Harto. Harto is competent for left-back and central defender, and the personal terms are still to be discussed.
Despite his youth, Hato has played 6 national teams and has played 111 games for Ajax.
