Doku’s standout performance in Euro 2020 has garnered attention, with the 21-year-old emerging as a potential successor to Riyad Mahrez for the championship-winning team.

Doku became a wonderkid after Euro 2020

This interest is so strong that even Pep Guardiola reportedly hopes for his arrival at Etihad Stadium, as mentioned in a recent report. Interestingly, it has now come to light that multiple clubs, not just Manchester City, have set their sights on Jeremy Doku, including Chelsea. While Manchester City appears to lead the race for the Belgian international, a sum of around £51.3 million is speculated to be sufficient for securing his move from Rennes.

De Bruyne love to play with Jeremy Doku?

Recent reports suggest that Chelsea has displayed a strong interest in acquiring Jeremy Doku, a player previously targeted by Manchester City. This information has emerged from L’Équipe, with journalist Julien Laurens indicating his belief in Doku’s potential move to City. However, the landscape has shifted, with Chelsea now entering the competition to secure the services of the winger linked with Manchester City, Jeremy Doku.

Chelsea continues to show ambition in the transfer market

Unless Chelsea opts to significantly overpay for Jeremy Doku, a pattern they’ve occasionally followed during Todd Boehly’s ownership, there’s a possibility that Manchester City might not secure his signing. Unlike Mauricio Pochettino’s team, the Premier League champions have shown a tendency to withdraw from negotiations when the proposed fee greatly exceeds their preferred player valuation.
