Chelsea want a €10 million Jorrel Hato reduction.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are aiming for a €10 million reduction in their bid to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax. The club is focused on strengthening their defense for the upcoming season and see Hato as a perfect match for their plans.

Chelsea have already received the player’s agreement and are in ongoing discussions with Ajax to finalize the transfer fee.

A report from CaughtOffside suggests the Blues are hoping to get a €10 million discount from Ajax’s original asking price.

Hato has risen through the ranks at Ajax and was promoted to the first team in 2023.

Since then, he has become a key part of the squad and is considered one of the top young defenders in the world.

Although Hato primarily plays as a left-back, he is also versatile enough to perform well as a wing-back or central defender.

He has three years remaining on his contract with Ajax, but is expected to make a move this summer, with interest from several top English clubs.

Chelsea are getting closer to signing Hato. The club is really interested in bringing him in, as they want to strengthen their defense and add more quality to their squad. With the team performing well under Maresca, having a player like Hato, who is versatile and talented, could make a big difference in the long term.

Chelsea have been talking to Hato for a while and have already agreed on personal terms.

Even though he had interest from two other Premier League teams, Hato is focused on joining Chelsea. He is ready to sign a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Now, Chelsea are trying to negotiate with Ajax, who are asking for €60 million.

The Blues are willing to pay a high price but hope to reduce it to about €50 million. Hato has already told Ajax that Chelsea is where he wants to play, which makes the deal much more likely to happen.
