Latest: how Chelsea could lose €61.5 from striker sale to Atletico
The Brazilian refused a huge offer from Tianjin Quanjian back in the winter, one which would have earned Chelsea a stunning €86.5 million.
The Spanish-Brazilian recently confirmed that he’d prefer to move to a competitive league, and that “everybody knew that he liked” Atletico Madrid.
With Coach Antonio Conte dumping his player via Whatsapp, it looks that the 28-year-old isn’t going to remain at Chelsea for long.
The Italian’s careless move hasn’t done him or the club any favours, since Atletico Madrid now know they can lowball the Blues into selling them their player.
The Colchoneros are willing to bid €25m for their former striker, who has scored 52 goals in EPL action since joining the Pensioners in 2014. That’s a loss of €61.5m, something which could have a dramatic impact on the London club.
