Overview

• Chelsea are negotiating a loan without an option or obligation to buy and are viewed as frontrunners, according to Sky Sports.
• Fabrizio Romano reports Buonanotte has accepted Chelsea’s proposal and that club-to-club talks are very advanced for an initial loan.
• Leeds United had a season-long loan lined up with travel planned, but that move has fallen through as talks shifted elsewhere.
• Brighton have indicated they want the Argentina international to go on loan within England, with Borussia Dortmund among other reported suitors earlier in the window.
• Some outlets link the approach to BlueCo’s multi-club structure and a possible Strasbourg route, though no agreement has been announced by the clubs.
