Chilean could be on his way to Stamford Bridge
Chelsea have reportedly agreed a deal with Internacional to sign midfielder Charles Aranguiz.
The centre-midfielder, who was part of Chile‘s Copa America winning team, has been strongly linked with a move to Europe over the past 12-months, with Marseille interested in signing him.
However, according to reports in France, Chelsea have agreed a deal with Internacional and will sign Aranguiz later this summer.
The 26-year-old, who has made 36 appearances for his national side, is valued at around £16million by the Brazilian team, but it’s not understood whether that is the fee the two clubs have agreed on.
Chelsea in market for Midfielder
Jose Mourinho admitted he was in the market for a new midfielder, and it looks like Aranguiz could be his man.
Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas are still seemingly Chelsea’s first-choices in the centre of the park, but with Jon Obi Mikel leaving the club, there is room for one more holding midfielder.
