Jorrel Hato Pushes for Chelsea Move as €40m Deal Nears Final Stage
Chelsea and Ajax are in the final negotiation phase for 19‑year‑old defender Jorrel Hato, with the Blues having reached agreement on personal terms and the player himself requesting a move, according to Fabrizio Romano. Reports indicate the transfer fee is approximately €40 million, well below Ajax’s initial €60 m valuation. Hato, versatile at centre-back and left-back, has already informed Ajax he wants to join Stamford Bridge, making this one of Chelsea’s top transfer priorities today.
What it Means for Chelsea:
If completed, this deal would be another clear signal of Chelsea’s commitment to investing in elite young talent under their current project. Hato’s arrival could provide immediate depth to the back line and long-term competition for the left-sided centre-back role. It also puts pressure on existing defenders, especially with Levi Colwill and Benoît Badiashile already fighting for minutes. Expect developments to accelerate in the next 24–48 hours.
