Chelsea in talks with Sporting over Rojo deal

Chelsea have opened talks with Sporting Lisbon over a £15m deal for full-back Marcos Rojo. The 24-year old has done well for Argntina at the World Cup this summer and he has caught the eye of Jose Mourinho, who is now working on a move.

The Blues are in need of a new left-back, with Ashley Cole leaving the club. They were desperate to sign Filipe Luis but it is believed that the club have been priced out of a move for the Atletico Madrid man, so they now turned their attention fully to Rojo.

Sporting are already resigned to losing the player, having received enquiries from both Sevilla and Liverpool too, but Chelsea are confident they will get their man. According to Abola, initial talks took place this week over a potential deal and the Blues are willing to pay up to £15m, which may be an offer Sporting can’t refuse.
