TRANSFER NEWS: Chelsea Quoted €45 For Star | Belgian Wonderkid Also Linked
Blues Need To Increase Neymar Offer
The agent of Santos wonderkid Neymar has said Chelsea have had a $35million bid rejected. The Blues are battling Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona for the 19-year olds signature, but have been told they will need to increase their bid if they want to land the Brazilian international. Neymar’s agent said
“Last year we received an offer of €35 million from Chelsea and it was rejected.
“Now the price has gone up and he would not leave for less than 45.”
Blues Track Belgian
Chelsea are set to launch a £9million raid on Racing Genk’s Kevin De Bruyne. The 19-year old was subject to a £5.3million bid earlier on in the year but was immediately rejected by the Belgian club.
A revised £9m offer will be tabled for De Bruyne, but the deal will allow the Belgian to remain on loan for another season with Racing Genk.
A deal for fellow countryman Romelu Lukaku has also been muted, but speculation has recently cooled with the 18-year old studying for exams.
