Chelsea Marksman Named As One Of Six Strikers On Barcelona’s Hit List

Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham is one of six strikers that Barcelona have added to a list of targets for the summer transfer window, according to reports in the Catalan media.

It is believed that Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez is Barca’s number one priority, but with the Nerazzurri insisting that they pay the Argentine’ €111m (£97m) release clause, the La Liga side are said to be considering other options.

As well as Abraham, RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner is also being targeted. The German has been looked at by Chelsea as well, while Liverpool and Manchester United have been mentioned as possible destinations too.

Lille’s Victor Osimhen, Gent’s Jonathan David and Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak are the other names that Barcelona are said to be considering.

It is highly unlikely that Chelsea would even countenance selling Abraham anyway, but it is testament to the 22-year-old’s rise to prominence under manager Frank Lampard this season.
