“They like him a lot” – Agent says Chelsea keen on Brazilian, summer key signing for Chelsea
Chelsea is reportedly among the teams interested in International winger Mauricio, according to sources from the Brazilian media this week.
Vozes do Gigante made the suggestion that the Blues may acquire the 22-year-old, with the Colorado ready to sell him for €12 million.
As more media outlets pursued this topic, Revista Colorada was able to discover some intriguing information on Chelsea’s interest.
When the outlet reached out to André Cury, Mauricio’s career manager, the agent verified Chelsea’s interest.
“I know they like him a lot, but so far there have been no enquiries. He’s got several enquiries from Europe.”
It now remains to be seen whether Chelsea will actually make a bid for Mauricio in the next window.
Since the player turns 23 in the summer, we must point out that this isn’t a very common signing for the Blues to make, as they’re usually more focused on signing younger players from Brazil.
Mauricio is also far from being a big star in Brazilian football, so we better wait and see if Chelsea’s interest starts being reported by bigger local outlets.
Since arriving at Internacional back in 2020, the youngster has 25 goals and 25 assists in 165 appearances.
