Chelsea expressed late interest in Sander Berge, Fulham's midfielder, according to sources close to the matter. The 26-year-old Norwegian has been one of Fulham's key players in midfield this season.
Enzo Fernández's departure from Chelsea would have opened space in the team's midfield sector, creating the need to reinforce the midfield. Fernández, who arrived at Chelsea for a high fee, now leaves a gap to be filled.
Fulham may face difficulties in retaining Berge, who has attracted interest from several clubs. Chelsea thus joins other clubs that have already looked into the player's situation.
No concrete figures have been put forward for a possible transfer yet, with negotiations remaining at an initial exploratory stage.
