Chelsea Close to Securing Baba Rahman Signing Amid Final Negotiations
Chelsea’s pursuit of Abdul Baba Rahman is nearing a conclusion. The Ghanaian international left-back, who has been a top target for manager José Mourinho in recent weeks, is expected to arrive in London on Saturday for his medical, according to Kicker.
The reigning English champions had initially submitted a €25 million offer to FC Augsburg, but the German side held firm, demanding €30 million. While Chelsea was reluctant to meet the full valuation, negotiations have advanced significantly, and a final agreement now appears imminent.
Should everything proceed smoothly, Baba Rahman could be unveiled before the highly anticipated Manchester City vs. Chelsea showdown on Sunday.
The 21-year-old, known for his pace, tackling, and attacking support from the back, is viewed as a long-term replacement for Filipe Luís, who returned to Atlético Madrid earlier this summer.
