Chelsea are lining up a €60m (£53.6m) offer for Atletico Madrid’s Koke, according to reports in Spain.
The 25-year-old has been linked with moves to Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the recent past although he only recently signed a massive seven-year contract with Atleti.
However, reports suggest that this could still be Koke’s last season at his club and that Chelsea are one of the sides ready to make a bid for him in the summer.
The Spaniard will feature in the World Cup this summer which could complicate things further, so if Chelsea are to sign him, they’ll likely have to act quickly as a shortened window added to a World Cup will mean time to get deals done is dramatically decreased compared to most summers.
Whether Atleti will allow one of their star men to leave remains to be seen and in truth, €60m seems a relatively low figure if they do decide to cash in and the likelihood is that Chelsea would need to pay a huge fee to get him.
