Blues want to hijack Jose Mourinho’s transfer plans
Chelsea have reportedly entered the race to sign AS Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, and are keen on hijacking Jose Mourinho’s deal for the Belgian.
Mourinho is already planning transfer for Manchester United, with reports claiming he’s all-but set to replace Louis van Gaal at the end of the season.
Reports emerged yesterday claiming that he wanted to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who becomes a free agent at the end of the season, whilst other reports claim he wants to sign Nainggolan.
Chelsea Plan Hijack
However, Chelsea are aware of that interest and could be tempted to hijack his proposed deal for the midfielder by making a formal move themselves.
Despite not officially having a permanent manager at Stamford Bridge, they are already working on possible deals and Nainggolan is believed to be a main target to help bolster the midfield.
Reports in Italy have claimed the two Premier League sides will do battle for the midfielder, and it’s believed that if Chelsea appoint an Italian manager, like Antonio Conte or Massimiliano Allegri, they will bring Nainggolan with them.
