Chelsea transfer news: Todd Boehly has spent over £600m on new signings since completing his 2022 takeover of the club and this summer is expected to follow suit

Chelsea's predicament in the goalkeeper position has shown no signs of figuring itself out despite Kepa Arrizabalaga's impressive performances this season.

Mendy has not played for Chelsea since before last year's World Cup and has been forced to watch Potter's side improve their form from the sidelines after sustaining a finger injury. And despite being close to returning to action in recent weeks, uncertainty over his future looms.

One option that is reportedly being considered by the Chelsea hierarchy is including him in an offer to lure another goalkeeper to the club. According to Inter Live, the Blues are prepared to offer Mendy in exchange to sign Inter Milan's Andre Onana.

The report suggests that Boehly is willing to cough up at least £35million for Onana - who is valued at £26.2m by CIES Football Observatory - but could offer Mendy's service as an alternative method to sign the Cameroon international.
