Chelsea set to make embarrassing transfer for player they let go of without ever giving him an appearance

CHELSEA are reportedly interested in re-signing goalkeeper Marcin Bulka.

Bulka, 24, joined Chelsea's academy at the age of 16 but failed to break into the first team.

He made eight appearances for the club's Under-18s and 19 for the U23s but was released after three years.

However, now claim Chelsea are looking to potentially re-sign him.

OGC Nice are determined to tie Bulka down to a new deal, but the 6ft 6in Poland international wants to quadruple his wages to £47,000-a-week.

The French side are only offering him slightly less than triple.

After leaving Chelsea, Bulka joined Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent.

He made just two senior appearances for the Ligue 1 champions before being sent on three successive loan spells to Cartagena, Chateauroux and Nice respectively.

Nice were left impressed by the goalkeeper's ability and went on to sign him in a £1.7million transfer in 2022.

Bulka's first campaign at the Allianz Riviera was spent as a back-up, but he established his spot as Francesco Farioli's No1 this season.
