Fabrizio Romano Issues Chelsea 'Priority' Update After Jorrel Hato

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, JUL 23 – Chelsea are negotiating a £50 million deal to sign 19-year-old Jorrel Hato from Ajax to strengthen their defense ahead of the 2025-26 season, with Liverpool also interested.

  • Chelsea have initiated an official 'club-to-club' approach to Ajax, Fabrizio Romano reports, as part of their summer transfer efforts.
  • Amid a £220m spending spree, Chelsea are reshaping Chelsea’s defence, prompting the pursuit of Hato.
  • With 111 senior appearances for Ajax, Hato brings experience at 19, capable of playing either centre-back or left-back.
  • Facing Premier League interest, Chelsea are bidding to win the race for Ajax’s best academy product, while Liverpool have tracked Hato’s progress.
