Chelsea has strongly entered the race to sign the Brazilian defender Natan, a Real Betis player who is delivering an outstanding performance in the Spanish league this season, according to 'Fichajes'.

The site explained that the Blues' management has been closely following the 24-year-old center-back since his arrival in Seville in July 2025, where he has shown exceptional maturity and contributed five assists so far, making him one of the most prominent defensive discoveries in La Liga this season.

The source indicated that Natan's market value has risen after his remarkable performance, prompting giants like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Newcastle to chase him, while Chelsea plans to make a substantial financial offer of around 40 million euros to convince the Spanish club and the player himself.

The report confirmed that Natan prefers to stay in Spain, giving Real Madrid a negotiating advantage in any potential deal, while the player's current contract extends until 2030, providing Real Betis with significant negotiating power.

The same source added that Chelsea aims to complete the deal before the player's price rises further as the season approaches its end, relying on its financial capability and attractive sporting project, while Natan continues to focus on his performance on the field away from media noise.

The January market awaits Natan's future, whether he will move to the English league with Chelsea or prefer to stay in Spain, while Real Betis is preparing for a significant financial benefit from a potential deal that could be historic for the club.
