Chelsea have seen a €40m bid rejected for Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente.
With N’Golo Kante and Jorginho entering the last year of their contracts, a new midfielder could be a priority for Thomas Tuchel this summer.
The midfield duo have been pivotal to Chelsea’s success in the last few years, but with no new deals secured, they could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge.
One player they are now showing an interest in is Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente, with AS reporting that Chelsea have had a €40m bid rejected for the 27-year-old.
Llorente has become a regular part of Atletico Madrid’s midfield after failing to make the grade at Spanish rivals Real Madrid.
The Spanish international has played 16 times for his country, but is yet to ply his trade outside of Spain.
A move to England could be an interesting one for Llorente, but he may be deterred by one of his teammates, Saul Niguez.
Saul joined Chelsea on loan last season, but struggled to break into the Chelsea side on a regular occasion, so Llorente will be hoping he doesn’t follow Saul down the same path if he does make the switch.
Chelsea should better struggle for De jong deal
Get de Jong, stop wasting time, Kante and Kova are so prone to injuries and Jorginho is someone who I never liked.
abeg make chelsea struggle for de jong deal level Llorente
I preper de jong than Llorente
Go for madrid tchoumeni
De jone should be the prefered option
Chelsea should get Yakubu Aiyegbeni
Pls I prefer De Jong to Llorente Jorghino too dey cause goal make Dem sell dat guy I no Sabi wetinq him still d fyn for Chelsea
De jong should be the next annucement for chelsea
Surely Chelsea SHUD now go for De Yong so to make a rock in midfield
Chealsea go for rice
Chelsea should go for de jong. Pls let’s beg Todd not to sign auba. And also allow pulisic to fight for his position at Chelsea
Both Lorente & De jong are good moves but kindly forcus on Declan Rice who is no doubt well equiped with epl experience
Chelsea need 2 acts fast with either de jong or anoda world class midfielder who can fit in kante shop cos we still long way 2 go dis season
Please sign him and auba, forfan
Rice is the best option and don’t wait for de jong who is confused
