According to talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs, Chelsea has identified four possible replacements for Enzo if he departs to join Manchester City.

Chelsea has identified four possible replacements for Enzo, and if he eventually transfers to Manchester City, the Blues will consider bringing in these players to strengthen their squad.

talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs revealed that Chelsea is currently targeting midfielders including Kouadio Koné, Adam Wharton, Alex Scott, and Eduardo Camavinga.

Chelsea had previously set a deadline for Enzo's sale, but that deadline has now passed.

However, Nico González's potential transfer to Newcastle could trigger a chain reaction.

Newcastle and Manchester City are currently close to reaching an agreement for the Spanish midfielder, and new manager Luis de la Fuente hopes to further strengthen the team's lineup.

If Nico González leaves, Manchester City will need to find a replacement, with Enzo as their target.

But at the same time, Chelsea also needs to sign a new midfielder to bolster their squad.

Ben Jacobs said on "Hawksbee and Jacobs":

"We know Manchester City still wants Enzo, and the money, squad space, and salary space freed up by Nico González's departure will help."

"So from now until the transfer window closes, Enzo will be a major talking point."

"But Chelsea needs to receive an offer that meets their valuation, and they'll likely need to find a replacement. They admire Alex Scott."

"Now there's a chain reaction where Manchester City and Chelsea could reach an agreement at the right price."

But if Chelsea pursues replacements and Scott cannot be sold, or Adam Wharton cannot be signed, then Kouadio Koné could be an option, and Camavinga is also a possibility.

So if Chelsea cannot find a suitable replacement, Manchester City may have to wait until 2027 to attempt to sign Enzo.

This will be a complex deal, but we should keep a close eye on developments until the final moments of the transfer window.

As the transfer window approaches its closure, a series of changes could occur between Manchester City and Chelsea.

The first step in all this is Nico González's exit from Manchester City to join Newcastle.

Jacobs said about the deal: "Newcastle and Manchester City have basically reached an agreement for Nico González, with a transfer fee of around £50 million."

"There may still be some floating clauses and final details to negotiate."

"The player is already aware he needs to leave, so the key to this deal is Newcastle convincing the player to join, as Manchester City has always been willing to sell him."

If Chelsea pursues Scott, this will be a rekindled interest on their part this summer.

The midfielder previously rejected a new contract offer from AFC Bournemouth, but the club's position is very clear: he is not for sale.

Scott was still a starter in AFC Bournemouth's defeat to Manchester City last week, which also shows he won't force a transfer by refusing to play.

Chelsea had previously submitted a £64 million bid for Scott, but it was rejected.

Manchester United and Manchester City are currently the two clubs most linked with Kouadio Koné.

The French international's performance at the World Cup was impressive and he has entered the recruitment lists of several clubs.

However, he is currently expected to remain at Roma.

But if Enzo joins Manchester City, the situation could change.

Crystal Palace's position is that Adam Wharton will not be sold this summer.

Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have all been linked with the midfielder.

Meanwhile, according to reports from Spain, Mourinho has told Camavinga he is currently the last option in the race for Real Madrid's midfield.

However, relevant reports also indicate that Camavinga will continue to have playing opportunities, so it remains to be seen if he decides to leave.
