Mauricio tells Chelsea to sign Real Madrid star

Chelsea’s new manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen on making some adjustments to the Blues squad.

Pochettino, who the Blues signed as their permanent manager after Frank Lampard’s temporary deal ended has been said to working on the signing of some new players.

The reports from Spain claimed that Pochettino wants to bring Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde to Stamford Bridge this summer.

A report via SPORT revealed the new manager has convinced Chelsea’s hierarchy to offer up to £85m to bring in the Uruguayan this summer.

Valverde has been impressive at Real Madrid and the reports revealed the Los Blancos are not keen on letting him leave and wouldn’t accept any offer for his service this summer.

Aside from Valverde, Chelsea who are in need of a new midfielder have also been strongly linked to Manuel Ugarte.

Chelsea, however, have been faced with competition from French club PSG, who reportedly offered far more than the Blues as part of their offer, and left him a big decision to make in terms of his future.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could see N’Golo Kante and Metteo Kovacic leave this summer.
