Spaniards tells Chelsea £80M will get striker signed after first Blues move made!
Atletico Madrid have rejected a £42m bid from Chelsea for Spanish striker Samu Omorodion, according to reports.
It is no secret that the Chelsea board are still looking to buy the best young players in the game over the next few months and bring them to Stamford Bridge – with a host of stars linked.
20-year-old Spain U21 international Omorodion has only been with Atletico Madrid since moving in 2023 from Granada and his contract runs out in June 2028, having spent last season on loan at Deportivo Alaves, netting nine goals and providing one assist in 35 appearances
The club have reportedly had a £34 million offer rejected this month, and Marca claims it would take another £46 million to do a deal with Atletico Madrid. It is acknowledged that the Spanish club spent £5 million on Omorodion less than 12 months ago
West Ham United are also credited with an interest, and like CHELSEA are said to have had an approach turned down during this transfer window. Omorodion is said to be open to staying in the Spanish capital this summer, but the income from such an outgoing could cover several signings Atletico plan to make.
Atletico are under no pressure to sell Omorodion, who was La Liga’s Player of the Month in February, and have knocked back a bid from Chelsea worth £42, according to The Sun.

Look, the lad is very talented – that is for sure- but what at CHELSEA doing? They need to make some experienced signings this summer and not keeping adding talents to the side or they may be in fighting to stay in the Premier League next season.
Omorodion is good but he is not worth £80M
