Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea are ready to rival Manchester City for the signature of Jack Grealish, according to reports.
Blues boss
Thomas Tuchel is set to be handed a transfer warchest after lifting the
Champions League trophy.
Chelsea are ready to
join the transfer battle for England ace Jack Grealish
The German will be given the funds from owner Roman Abramovich
if the clubs can reach an agreement over a fee.
Villa are under no pressure to
cash in knowing their star man still has four years left on his contract.
And boss Dean Smith could be
hoping for a bidding war with Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions
preparing to make their swoop.
City are prepared to smash a
Prem transfer record to land Grealish and bolster his attacking options.
The current record is held by
Paul Pogba when United paid Juventus £89million in 2016.
According to Football
Insider, Chelsea will have the funds to match City’s offer and it could all
come down to the player’s decision.
Any deal is likely to take
place after the Euros with Grealish’s sole focus on the tournament.
Much could also depend on whether
Tuchel can get a deal over the line for Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling
Haaland.
The German boss wants a new
superstar striker with Timo Werner continuing to misfire.
