Tylel Tati
January 2026
Chelsea made a late move for 18-year-old Nantes defender Tati with a reported €30m verbal offer, planning to loan him to Strasbourg, after losing Jacquet to Liverpool. Chelsea accelerated talks once Jacquet’s move to Liverpool progressed; the offer reportedly includes add-ons like a sell-on clause, but time pressure and the player’s decision process are key obstacles.
