Bayern Munich have joined Chelsea in the race to sign 21 year old Spanish star. The player currently plays for Atletico Madrid and has been very good in the recent seasons.
The star in question here is Pablo Barrios who has came up through Atletico’s academy. He has so far played 86 games for their first team. Barrios can play as both holding and central midfielder. In addition, he can also play on right flank.
Atletico can part ways with Barrios this summer to meet their financial needs. Chelsea have been showing interest in the 21 year old since a while. They are keen to bring in new midfielders this summer and want them to be young.
Casadei and Chukwuemeka left the club in January. Chukwuemeka is away on loan but is very likely to get sold in summer. In addition, Dewsbury-Hall also wants to leave and hence midfield signing will he a top priority.
Barrios fits well in Chelsea’s hiring system. He is 21 years old and can be a long-term investment. In addition, his versatality can make him a key asset for Enzo Maresca. But, the Blues have now joined by German giants in the race.
