Chelsea told they can sign midfielder target for £50 million – talks already open

CHELSEA have been told that they can sign Southampton star Romeo Lavia for £50 million in the summer window.

Mauricio Pochettino has a big job on his hands when he officially joins the club – and signing players that will make a difference is something that he is looking at the this summer.

Lavia is ‘admired’ by Chelsea’s recruitment team and could be the ideal complement to Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, though he will not come cheap.

Southampton view the former Manchester City starlet as their most sellable asset and will demand as much as £50million for the Belgian teen.

As part of the £12.5m deal that saw him move to the south coast, City included three quite significant clauses, the first of which allows them to match any bid that comes in for the player.

Lavia is a very special talent and a lad that has a big future in the game –

£50 million is alot of money to pay for someone that had done nothing in the game and it could be another expensive gamble from the Blues to make if they do actually pay that amount of cash.

However – we feel that he will not make much of a difference in that Chelsea squad and the Blues should go for a more established player.

There are so many quality stars out there – CHELSEA need to make sure that they buy the right stars – or it could be another disappointing campaign for the club next season.

£50 million….CRAZY!
