“We can build him” – Manchester City want to sign Chelsea 21-year-old Chelsea player in January. 

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are interested in signing Ian Maatsen from Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea in the January transfer window.

That is according to journalist Rudy Galetti, who has claimed that another Premier League club have an eye on Maatsen

So, what has been reported about Chelsea, Manchester City and Ian Maatsen? Let’s take a look.

Manchester City and West Ham United linked with Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen

Well, according to Rudy Galetti on X, Manchester City and West Ham United are interested in signing Ian Maatsen from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window.

The Italian journalist has claimed that Chelsea are ready to sell Maatsen, who can operate as a left-back or as a winger.

Galetti has added that Borussia Dortmund are keen on the 21-year-old as well and are “intensifying contacts”.

Maatsen has been on the books of Chelsea since 2018 and has had loan spells at Charlton Athletic, Coventry City and Burnley in recent years. He is rated highly.

The Netherlands Under-21 international left-back is out of contract at Chelsea in the summer of 2025.

My View: Ian Maatsen should move to Manchester City

In my view, if Manchester City make an offer for Ian Maatsen in the January transfer window, then the left-back should certainly make the move to the Etihad Stadium.

City, who won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup last season, have one of the most exciting teams in the world and a genuinely great manager in Pep Guardiola.

Sergio Gomez is the only recognised left-back in the current City squad at the moment, so Maatsen could get chances, if not now, then certainly in the long run.

Maatsen has made 12 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. He is just starting his career, and I think that working with a manager like Guardiola would help him a lot.

Todd Boehly took over the course of Chelsea’s ownership two years ago. According to reports from close sources, Chelsea have been rumored to return to their former owner, as more decisions are yet to be finalized. Former Russia striker Dmitry Bulykin has told Chelsea they need to get Roman Abramovich back to the club. According to him, the Blues can’t win another trophy unless they allow his countryman to buy back the club. Peers have criticized the UK government for failing to agree a deal with the former Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, to spend £2.5 billion from his sale of the London football club. Members of the House of Lords’ European Affairs Committee have described ministers’ failure to spend the money on Ukraine as “incomprehensible,” nearly two years after the sale was agreed. The government agreed to allow Abramovich to sell Chelsea in 2022 even though he was under sanctions as one of seven Russian “pro-Kremlin” oligarchs, on the co

Enzo Maresca has been looking into how to get a perfect squad ahead of the season, as he is set to revenge the 0-2 defeat of the Premier League kick-off against Wolves in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, a lot of options have been listed with recent evidence, signifying that Chelsea could get a deal done possibly before the window shuts down. Chelsea look to have gained a Victor Osimhen transfer advantage following Napoli’s 3-0 Serie A defeat to Verona at the weekend. The Blues have already held talks over the potential loan signing of Osimhen, with Romelu Lukaku heading the other way, though the Italian club remains keen on him sealing a permanent exit. The Nigeria international, despite reporting to pre-season training, was left out of the Napoli squad for a friendly against Girona, with that decision repeated in the Coppa Italia victory over Modena. Unsurprisingly, he was also absent from the group that kicked off Napoli’s Serie A campaign on Saturday

Former players and managers have also weighed in on the debate, calling for a more definitive h

Video Highlights: Chelsea 4-4 Manchester City - All Goals (Watch)

Image
A quite extraordinary eight-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge comes to an end and the teams will share the spoils after a 4-4 draw.  The game took a while to catch fire, Haaland putting City ahead in the 25th minute from the spot after being hauled down by Cucurella, but Chelsea responded, levelling through Thiago Silva's header before Sterling scored against his former team to make it 2-1 to the hosts. Back came City, though, as an unmarked Akanji restored parity with a header in first-half added time before Haaland bundled home his second of the game to put the champions 3-2 up.  Chelsea would again answer through Jackson to make it three goals apiece, but Rodri appeared to net the winner with four minutes left, firing home via a huge deflection off Thiago Silva to put City on the verge of victory.  There would be one final twist, however, as Broja came off the bench to win a penalty after being brought down by Dias before Palmer, against the club whose academy he grew up in, step
