Real Madrid to battle Chelsea for Suso
A few days ago, reports from ESPN claimed that Premier League giants, Chelsea, were considering a move for AC Milan's playmaker, Suso. The former Liverpool star has become one of the best playmakers in Italy after failing to make a mark in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old is believed to have impressed Maurizio Sarri, thereby prompting Chelsea to consider him. However, latest reports from SkySports claim that Real Madrid have now entered the fray, having marked Suso as a potential replacement for the injury-prone Gareth Bale.
Suso has already scored 4 goals and assisted 7 more in Serie A. The Spaniard is currently on contract at AC Milan until 2022 but has a release clause of approximately €40 million. Both, Chelsea and Real Madrid, are believed to be willing to pay that fee as we find ourselves with another prospective transfer battle between two heavyweight clubs.
