With all the controversy surrounding Chelsea in the past few weeks and the team’s poor form, owner Roman Abramovich has now decided to spend cash on three new faces, after seeing the Blues were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. The Daily Mirror stated how the Russian billionaire will be giving manager Jose Mourinho the open cheque-book to fill to add the players he needs to his squad this summer.
The first player on the west London side’s list would be Everton’s John Stones, though manager Roberto Martinez will not be easy to convince, as it seems he is clearly not interested in selling his priced possession.
It was being suggested now that a bid of around £34m could be needed to land the England international at Stamford Bridge, whom the Portuguese boss considers the perfect long-term replacement for skipper John Terry.
Further, the report also suggests that Mourinho wants another central midfielder. Having already snatched Pedro from the cusps of Manchester United, the last 10 days of the transfer window looks exciting for the Chelsea fans.
Paul Pogba’s name has been linked with Chelsea for quite some time, though it seems that the club will look to sign less reputed players this season.
