Chelsea are ready to submit a bid worth around £43million to sign Sporting CP midfielder Matheus Nunes. That's according to Portuguese outlet A Bola, who claim that the Blues are ready to offer €45m (£38.6m) and a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons.
Nunes, who has four years remaining on his contract with Sporting, played 33 times for his side in Portugal's top division last season – scoring three goals and recording two assists. The 23-year-old is a very tricky midfielder, but also has the industrial side to his game.
The Portugal international does not shirk his defensive duties, making him the perfect modern-day central midfielder. Someone who can do everything – and if reports are to be believed, then this has attracted Thomas Tuchel.
