Chelsea tried to include Boehly signing in deal for midfielder – Desperately trying to win transfer race
As Chelsea negotiate with Sporting for the transfer of Manuel Ugarte, the Blues apparently offered a player in that deal.
That’s according to Portuguese newspaper Record, who brings more details of the Blues’ ?60m bid.
It’s said that besides the ?5m in bonuses, Chelsea also put on the table the loan of Datro Fofana.
The outlet writes how the 20-year-old is seen as a ‘promise’ at Stamford Bridge and needs more playing time somewhere else.
Chelsea were even supposed to afford Fofana’s salaries during the one-year spell. However, that didn’t get the approval from Sporting.
According to Record, the Lions saw no reason to ‘bet’ on the signing, and ruled out that possibility. Adding a player to their bid would maybe help Chelsea win the race for Ugarte but the truth is that their offer is already good enough, as ?60m is the amount on his release clause.
Record already claimed that Mauricio Pochettino is telling the Blues to hurry with this signing, and the midfielder seems to have a preference for the London side over Paris Saint Germain.
