Should Thibaut Courtois be sold in the summer, Chelsea will be in the market for a new goalkeeper and the Telegraph have reported that the Blues are interested in a move for Galatasaray stopper Fernando Muslera.
Antonio Conte tried to sign Muslera in the January transfer window as a replacement for the Bournemouth-bound Asmir Begovic, but Galatasaray managed to resist Chelsea’s interest and set a €25 million price tag on the Uruguay international.
The ‘keeper is under contract until the end of next season and is in a standoff with the Turkish Super Lig club over a new contract.
Fotomac have reported that Muslera’s agent Daniel Fonseca has met with Galatasaray representatives. Fonseca wants a bumper €5.3m-per-season deal for his client.
If a deal can’t be reached to extend his contract, Muslera may be made available for transfer in the summer with Chelsea ready to renew their interest.
