Chelsea have offered a contract to an AC Milan star, but face competition from two rivals, more Jose Mourinho sack talk has emerged, while Tuesday’s transfer gossip claims agents for a top Manchester United star are actively looking to move their client on this summer.
TUCHELS WANTS CHELSEA TO SIGN HAKAN CALHANOGLU
Chelsea are reportedly pushing hard to sign Hakan Calhanoglu this summer, with Thomas Tuchel a big fan of the playmaker.
The Blues seemed particularly blessed for players in that position. The likes of Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic are already struggling for game time, while Mason Mount is also an option.
However, Tuchel is said to be keen on adding Calhanoglu to the mix. The star is one of the mainstays of the Milan side challenging for Serie A title glory this season. He has chipped in with two goals and nine assists this season. But with his contract due to expire this summer, he looks set to move on as a free agent.
According to the Daily Express, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has already reached out to his agents.
Indeed, they stated the Blues have already offered Calhanoglu a contract though face competition from two rivals. As per Sky Italia, Juventus have already made their move. Arsenal meanwhile also have an interest depending on what happens with Martin Odegaard.
Calhanoglu is said to be asking for wages of £80,000 a week, which is not beyond Chelsea’s means.
And he is said to be open to the idea of playing in the Premier League, amid past links to Manchester United.
His arrival though is likely to increase speculation that both Pulisic and Ziyech could move on. The Moroccan, for one, is said to be struggling to impress Tuchel and could leave after just one season.
