Chelsea Lead Race for Karetsa!

Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign Konstantinos Karetsa, the 18-year-old Greek winger from Genk. According to "TalkSPORT", Chelsea are willing to offer around €45 million for the young footballer, describing him as a "new Messi". Other top European clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, Leverkusen, and Newcastle, have also expressed interest in Karetsa. The arrival of Liam Rosenior at Chelsea is considered crucial for Karetsa's prospects, as he is expected to give him more opportunities to play compared to Arsenal. European analysts believe that Chelsea is the most suitable club for developing Karetsa's talent, as he will have the chance to compete and evolve under Rosenior's guidance.
