Chelsea boss Frank Lampard have been looking forward to strengthen his squad against next season.
However, Alex telles is one of Lampard’s choice to help in the left-back as one of Chelsea left-back between Alonso or Emerson might leave the club in summer.
However, Porto would previously have been expecting his release clause of €40m to be met for Alex Telles, but the financial presses of the coronavirus now mean they will accept just €30m, according to a report from Portugal translated by SportWitness.
That really would be a significant bargain, and would also be in line with what Ajax are asking for their left back, Nicolas Tagliafico.
Frank Lampard must now decide whether he wants to pay maybe double that for Ben Chilwell, or whether he will be content with one of the two more affordable, continentally based alternatives.
All that we can say for sure now is that left back is a priority for Chelsea, and one of these players is likely to be coming to Stamford Bridge this summer.
