Chelsea favourites to land Ruben Neves

Chelsea are looking to bolster their midfield ranks this summer and the Blues have been linked with a move for Porto starlet Ruben Neves.

The Portugal international midfielder is also on the radars of both Liverpool and Juventus this summer as well according to A Bola (h/t Sport Witness), but Antonio Conte’s side are the bookies favourites to land his signature, with odds as short as 3/1.

Porto have already allowed Andre Silva to leave the club for AC Milan and their financial situation means that they may have to cash-in on more of their top players in order to balance the books.

Neves is regarded as one of the brightest young midfielders in European football, but the 20-year-old made just six Liga NOS starts for Porto last season which has sparked rumours that they’re ready to offload him.

With a €40m release clause in his contract, Chelsea, Liverpool or Juventus are all looking to sign Neves, but if Porto are desperate for a sale, they could consider accepting a cut-price offer.
