Just in: Chelsea to open talks this month and try to sign world cup winning defender for ‘FREE’
According to fresh reports, Chelsea could open talks to sign Jerome Boateng at the end of the season on a free deal.
During the summer transfer window, Frank Lampard was seeking to add an experienced defender to that Chelsea back-line as he needed to add some leadership and quality ahead of the new season, and he was heavily linked with a move for Boateng.
Despite being a regular fixture in the squad over the past few years, there was widespread speculation that Boateng was done at Bayern, and that the German were ready to cash in on the defender in order to freshen up this ageing squad.
However, a despite all the rumours and despite all that speculation, Chelsea failed to get a transfer deal done for Boateng and in the end, they opted to bring the brilliant Tiago Silva to the club, and he has proven to be a massive hit with the fans.
But there are now reports on the Daily Express website which have suggested that Chelsea may decide to open talks this month in a bid to win the race for Boateng at the end of the current season.
Boateng has been in the game long enough now to realise that there will always be alot of interest in the media about his future, but we are still shocked to see that Chelsea are still seemingly interested.
They have done well in defence this season, and we expected that the next transfer signing would be a more long-term signing, not one that would only be at the club for the next few seasons.
So Even though Boateng would arrive at the club on a free deal, he is not worth the hassle any longer.
