Chelsea Transfer News: AVB Turns Attention To £25m Modric Alternative

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is pushing to land Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho, according to reports.

The Daily Mail claims the Blues boss will turn his attention to Moutinho after the club accepted defeat in their attempts to prize Luka Modric away from Tottenham.

Villa-Boas is desperate to add another creative spark to his midfield and hopes to sign Moutinho after he worked with the 24-year old whilst at the helm at Porto.

It is complicated that part of the 24-year-old’s economic rights are owned by a third party and there is a 25 per cent sell-on clause to Sporting Lisbon for offers over £11m, but it’s thought it will take an offer of over £25m to land the ace.
