Chelsea are plotting a €50 million bid to sign Spanish midfielder this summer. The player is very young and very versatile and is said to have a very bright future ahead of him.
The Blues want to add another midfielder to their squad in summer. In January, Casadei left the club whereas Chukwuemeka was sent on loan. But, Chukwuemeka is very likely to get sold permanently in summer. In addition, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is also pushing for an exit.
Chelsea did sign Amougou but he will be sent on loan to Strasbourg next season. This makes midfield signing one of the top priorities for Maresca. The Blues will want to sign a young player and as of now they already have one player on their radar.
Chelsea showing interest in young Spanish midfielder
The Blues are showing interest in Pablo Barrios. As per Fichajes, they are willing to spend upto €50 million to sign Barrios in summer. This price may excite Atletico and they can be open for deal but it is still very early to predict anything.
Barrios is 21 years old and has came up through Atletico’s academy. He has sp far played 86 games for their first team. He has also made his international debut for the Spain national team. Barrios can play as both central and holding midfielder.
Atletico boss Diego Simeone rates Barrios very highly. He said earlier that the 21 year old can carry multiple roles for their club. In addition, Simeone is confident that Barrios can improve and become a key player for the team in future. Hence, Atletico may hesitate to sell Barrios just yet.
Chelsea do have a good relationship with Atletico. They have done many deals with each other in recent years. Hence, it will be interesting to see if the Blues are able to tie the Spanish outfit with another deal.
