Chelsea
Chelsea have submitted an enquiry over the availability of Atletico Madrid and Spain midfielder Saul Niguez. The Blues chances of signing the 26-year-old have been given an added boost with news from Italy that Diego Simeone’s club are close to finialising a deal for Rodrigo de Paul.
With Atleti well-stocked in central midfield, the arrival of the Argentine is likely to force at least one of the current crop out of the club with Saul tipped to be that player.
Transfer
Saúl Ñíguez is the Spaniard on Liverpool lips right now. The highly-rated midfielder has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and recent reports have suggested that not only are Liverpool now in pole position, but Atletico Madrid have become willing sellers, with the formerly prohibitive release clause of €150m (£129m) dropping to a tantalising €40 (£34m).
These kinds of fire sale finances have already caused the Liverpool hierarchy to flutter their eyelashes at both Otávio of Porto and Florian Neuhaus of Borussia Mönchengladbach before shying away. Most observers would consider Saúl a better option at his best than both, even if the young German has potential on his side.
Contract
On 1 July 2017, Saúl signed a new nine-year contract. He made nine appearances in the campaign’s Europa League, scoring three goals for the eventual champions. Saúl started his 250th match for the club on 18 August 2019, in a win over Getafe CF.
Man Utd
Saul Niguez keen to push through a move to Manchester United. According to the Mirror (h/t Express), Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez is all set to force through a transfer to Manchester United this summer. Niguez has a buyout clause of around £60m.
