Chelsea set to add Giulia Dragoni from Barcelona to their ranks

Chelsea are close to securing the services of Italy international Giulia Dragoni, an attacking midfielder who currently plays for Barcelona. The 19-year-old has spent the last two seasons on loan at Roma, gaining experience in the Women's Champions League. Dragoni made her Italy debut at age 16 and has since earned 24 caps. She joined Barcelona in 2023 after graduating from Inter Milan's youth academy. Chelsea have monitored her progress for several years and are attracted to her versatility, as she can operate in multiple attacking roles and midfield. Dragoni is set to be Chelsea's fourth summer signing as the club aims to reclaim the Women's Super League title, which was won by Manchester City last season.
