Chelsea will reportedly face competition from Atletico Madrid in their pursuit of Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain this summer.
The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for the Argentine international, with his future at Serie A champions Juventus continuing to come under some scrutiny.
This has led to talk indicating that he could make a move to Stamford Bridge this summer. However, according to reports in Italy, a new suitor has emerged in the race to land Higuain.
Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side are understood to have identified Higuain as a potential target as they make contingency plans ahead of the likely departure of Antoine Griezmann.
The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona this summer and it seems plans are being put in place ahead of his exit.
Chelsea are looking to recruit a new first-choice striker and Higuain has been mentioned as a target for the Blues following Alvaro Morata’s struggles last season.
