Chelsea name CHEAP Madueke price tag amid exit links
Chelsea have named a price for Noni Madukee as speculation around his future grows.
Madueke ranked as the third-most used Chelsea player during pre-season, trailing only Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto. He was also the joint top goalscorer with three goals.
The 22-year-old also finished the 2023-24 campaign on a high note, contributing three goals and two assists in Chelsea’s last nine Premier League matches.

But there have been rumours of a possible exit lingering this window, with Newcastle suggested to be a club monitoring his situation.
“Keep an eye on [Noni] Madueke, in case of some good proposals” transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told the Here We Go Podcast.
“He’s not out of the project but with some good proposals, the situation of Madeuke could be open. For example, Newcastle have been showing interest for weeks.”
Now The Athletic have released new information about the player’s valuation. The outlet reports that Chelsea will listen to offers in excess of €33 million for Madueke. FootballTransfers’ Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) model ranks the youngster at €24m, so the London side would be asking over the market value or Madueke.
Noni Madueke wishes to remain with Chelsea
It comes after FootballTransfers' story from earlier this week.
We are told Madueke wants to fight for his place at Chelsea despite links with a summer move away.

The arrival of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers has sparked speculation regarding Madueke’s future at Stamford Bridge, but he is eager to remain at the club.
Furthermore, we have been told that Chelsea would not accept a loan move with an option to buy for Madueke, while it’s not currently clear if a loan with an obligation to buy deal would be considered by the Blues.
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Madueke amid their pursuit of a new right winger, but the England U21 international is keen to stay at Chelsea after a promising pre-season under Enzo Maresca.
