Chelsea To Beat Man United In The Signing Of a £68m-Rated La Liga-Winning Midfielder

According to a report from a reliable Spanish news outlet, Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea are showing interest in signing Atletico Madrid‘s Saul Niguez.

The Spanish midfielder is said to have a release clause of £130m but the La Liga side are reportedly open to listening to offers in the region of £68m.

Meanwhile, the Blues are thought to be in the market for a midfielder, and Saul’s prowess has apparently made him a target for Thomas Tuchel.

Moreover, Chelsea and Manchester United aside, the likes of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also reportedly interested in the Spaniard but with PSG recently acquiring Gorginio Wijnaldum on a free transfer, they could be out of the race.
