Chelsea to sign midfielder who’s already in advance stage of joining Barcelona.
Chelsea are hoping to sign 17-year-old Edouard Michut from Paris Saint-Germain, as per a report in Don Balon.
PSG value and rate Michut profoundly regardless of his short height and compare the youngster with Marco Verratti, while enthusiasm for the youngster is high across Europe, as per the Spanish outlet.
The Don Balon report proposes that Barcelona are already in advanced talks to sign the wonderkid but Chelsea and Manchester City are likewise apparently among the clubs interested to snap him up.
The report clarifies that Michut is at present on a youth contract and is yet to sign a star contract with the Parisian club. In any case, it is accepted that Chelsea are hoping to make a last-ditch swoop for the young talent and expect to add the youngster to their present crop of young stars at Stamford Bridge.
Bundesliga clubs RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are likewise referenced by Don Balon as being keen on signing Michut who is one of French football’s most brilliant prospects.
All things considered, Chelsea could be an alluring goal for a top young talent right now because of Frank Lampard’s eagerness to promote and develop youth.
Barcelona, likewise have a fine record in that department and are one of the historically greatest clubs in the world, so would be difficult for anybody to turn down.
