Chelsea linked with Barca prodigy and former Man City youngster

By

Chelsea are reportedly interested in Barcelona’s former Manchester City youngster Denis Suarez as well as Xavier Simons – an 11-year-old currently with the Catalan club.

Reports in Spain, subsequently picked up by the Daily Star, suggest Blues boss Jose Mourinho wants Suarez, 20, and that Barca are confident of keeping Simons despite Chelsea’s apparent interest.

Midfielder Suarez spent two years at City but did not make a first-team appearance before moving to the Nou Camp last year.

He has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge despite the fact he has just joined Sevilla on a two-year loan deal.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have again been linked with a move for Real Madrid’s former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, this time by the Express.

Talksport say Chelsea want 20-year-old midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who is reportedly about to be offered a new contract by Inter Milan.

And a newspaper report in Eden Hazard’s native Belgium claims Real Madrid tried to sign him from Chelsea during last month’s transfer window.
