Chelsea shown how to gift Thomas Tuchel Neymar alternative with £39m Real Madrid transfer lesson

Neymar has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in light of the west London club's takeover. But, Real Madrid have put on a transfer clinic in recent years, showing Todd Boehly how to save a small fortune ahead of the summer window.

The consortium led by the American billionaire, who have agreed a £4.25billion deal to buy the Blues, are expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline. With the new ownership group eager to bolster the Blues armoury, The Telegraph indicate that, after player sales are taken into account, Thomas Tuchel is set to be gifted £200million to strengthen his side.

And, Neymar has since waltzed back onto Chelsea's radar; GOAL report that Paris Saint-Germain are 'not against selling' the 31-year-old this summer if the 'right bid' arrives their way. The west Londoners have been credited with a long-standing interest in the Brazil international, according to ESPN, but Boehly could save as much as £37million by copying Real Madrid's transfer blueprint.
