Chelsea may be open to parting ways with 27-year-old English defender Tosin Adarabioyo for a fee of £30 million in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Tosin Adarabioyo faces an uncertain future at Chelsea midway through the summer transfer window. Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are among the English defender’s prospective suitors. Meanwhile, the West London outfit will demand around £30 million to part ways with the former Fulham centre-back.

Tosin Adarabioyo and his Chelsea career so far

Tosin Adarabioyo has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Chelsea in a Bosman move last summer after running down his contract with Fulham. While the 27-year-old was the West London club’s first summer signing in 2024, he was in and out of the starting lineup in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.

While the Englishman has turned out nearly 50 times thus far for Chelsea while amassing over 3,000 minutes of game time, he has not been a regular starter for the FIFA Club World Cup winners. With Chelsea keen on signing Jorrel Hato, Adarabioyo’s situation may devolve further. The situation has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, including Crystal Palace, West Ham United, and Newcastle United.

A man in demand

Crystal Palace’s interest in the English defender is understandable. The Eagles are in a spot of bother over Marc Guehi’s long-term future amid the defender’s links with several Premier League bigwigs, including Chelsea. So, Crystal Palace must sign a new centre-back this summer, with Adarabioyo emerging as a viable target.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Tosin Adarabioyo makes sense. The Magpies are planning for life after Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Jamaal Lascelles, with the trio on the wrong side of 30. In addition, Sven Botman has struggled with fitness issues in the last 12 months. So, the Chelsea defender is an option worth considering for Newcastle United.

As for West Ham United, Jean-Clair Todibo and Konstantinos Mavropanos have been inconsistent at the heart of the defence, and the Hammers need an upgrade on the duo. So, Adarabioyo is a viable target for West Ham, with the East London club ready to launch the offensive to secure his services. Meanwhile, Chelsea will demand around £30 million to part ways with the Englishman.

Chelsea’s asking price of £30 million makes him an affordable target for Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, and West Ham United. However, the Premier League clubs will face stiff competition from AC Milan, Napoli, and AS Monaco for the 27-year-old English defender.
