Chelsea are reportedly set to submit a bid of £43m to sign Sporting CP midfielder Matheus Nunes.
The 23-year-old, who has spent the last three years in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, is said to be on the Blues’ watchlist as the club look set to bolster their midfield ahead of the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season, with Chelsea starting their campaign away at Everton on August 6.
The midfielder is an eight-time Portugal international after making his senior debut last year and could be part of the Portuguese squad that competes at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this year. Reports from Portuguese outlet A Bola claim that Chelsea are willing to submit a bid of €45m (£38.6m) to sign the 23-year-old, as well as a further €5m (£4.3m) in potential add-ons.
