Atletico Madrid have demanded a compulsory £34 million purchase clause from Chelsea as the only condition to allow Saul Niguez join the Champions League winners.

Chelsea want to bring in the Spain International before transfer deadline day and have held talks with Atletico.

Although LaLiga Champions are open to allowing the midfielder go, Chelsea have faced competition from Manchester United.

According to Goal, the Blues are looking to secure an initial loan deal for Saul, but are reluctant to agree to the Spanish side’s demand to make the move permanent for £34m at the end of the season. Catholic Prayers

Thomas Tuchel side are looking to strike a similar deal to the one they agreed with Real Madrid for Mateo Kovacic in 2018.

Chelsea initially signed Kovacic on loan before deciding to make the transfer permanent for £40m the following summer.

Atletico are also refusing to let Saul leave unless a replacement is signed before the deadline.

Atletico Madrid boss, Diego Simeone told the press on Sunday, when asked about Saul, “He knows my view already.

“We talked and I told him what I think and feel. There’s not much else.

“Between now and Tuesday, we’ll see. We are open in the knowledge that anything can happen in football.”

Tuchel got eyes for good players...

That Chelsea would be a torn on alot of teams flesh, and if care is not taken, he might win the league

Is it worth it?

Na their way be that, always wise

Kk

Let him come. Ronaldo will deal with him in that midfield

How old is the Guy ?

Nice move oo

Deal is no longer possible according to Fabrizio Romano

that is so cool

Good move for Chelsea if deal pulls through. Arsenal suppose they finalize deals like this to save their ass this season but they prefer to give Xhaka with red card as is surname fresh contract.

Sure 6oddvdaily chat me up 09021468697

To be sincere we don't need this guy abeg hv RLC

I know Chelsea will not agree to that, there is no pressure to sign Saul when they have other midfielders. If Atletico can not agree to "option to buy" instead of "obligation to buy" then they will rather make do with what they have presently. Although, the guy might be a very good addition to the team

Over to Chelsea.

MAn Utd better sign this guy or a better defensive midfielder o, to avoid stories that touch. For now, lemme quickly use my IE mobile app to recharge my light, I have to be up till this transfer window closes today.
