The club are set to unveil Pedro Neto when they face Inter in their final pre-season friendly. Chelsea bought the Wolves attacker for around €63 million in total, but now they may listen to proposals for one of their current players.

It is explained that Chelsea are not actively looking to sell Madueke, but if a 'good proposal' comes in, the London club would be willing to accept.

Romano said on his Here We Go podcast: "Noni Madueke is not out of the Chelsea project, but in case of a good proposal, things could become open. Newcastle have been showing interest for weeks.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins was the first to report that Neto is expected join Chelsea.

But even though the Blues see Neto as a possible No.10 and left-winger, this has left matters open with other players on the right-wing currently at Stamford Bridge. The Telegraph reported that Neto’s arrival could encourage teams to make approaches for Madueke and Raheem Sterling and that they would listen to offers for the wingers.

Juventus have been in contact with Chelsea to sound out a move for Sterling, even though the Bianconeri remain hopeful of bringing in Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners and Fiorentina winger Nico Gonzalez, reports Gianluca Di Mazio.

Chelsea finalise move for Omorodion

Madueke enjoyed a fruitful pre-season three goals in five matches and there has been a suggestion that Newcastle might be interested.

In the meantime, Chelsea is set to finalize the signing of Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid for a fee of €40 million. The young forward arrived in London on Saturday ahead of a medical.

The striker could be sent on loan depending on whether Chelsea launch a proposal for Victor Osimhen, but so far Napoli have refused to budge on their €130m valuation and it's not clear whether that will change before the window closes.
