Chelsea are one of several top European clubs interested in signing Real Madrid youngster Rafa Marin and it could be the perfect revenge story for Todd Boehly. Not only does the 20-year-old fit the bill as a talented young player - something high on the recruitment checklist for the new owner - but he is also available on a cut-price deal.
The Spanish youth international defender is yet to play for the first team but has excelled for his country's Under-21 side and Los Blancos' academy team and development side, Real Madrid Castilla. With 18-months left on his deal currently and no immediate sign of an extension, Madrid are keen to cash in when they can, The Telegraph write.
Boehly and Co have already shown their willingness to snap up some of the best youngsters around, sealing moves for teenagers Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Cesare Casadei over the summer before adding Andrey Santos, 18, this month as well as former Arsenal academy star Omari Hutchinson too.
