AS Monaco midfielder wanted by European giants
Premier League champions Chelsea and La Liga champions FC Barcelona are set to go head-to-head for AS Monaco attacking-midfielder Bernardo Silva.
The 21-year-old is hotly tipped to have a bright future, and his performances have already caught the eyes of scouts from both Chelsea and Barcelona.
The two European giants are expected to go head-to-head for Silva in the January transfer window, with Barca‘s transfer embargo set to be lifted.
Chelsea Favourites?
However, according to reports, the La Liga giants are more willing to strike a deal next summer, which gives Chelsea the advantage if they can swoop in during the winter window.
Monaco value Silva around ÂŁ21.6million, and would listen to any offers around that mark due to their financial issues.
