He’s planning for Chelsea job already

Diego Simeone would like to see FC Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic for Chelsea should he get the job, according to reports.

Reports emerged yesterday that he would like to sign Marco Reus from Borussia Dortmund, but it’s also been revealed that he’d like to lure Rakitic to England with him.

The Croatian midfielder is a vital part of Barca‘s team, and it would take a lot of persuasion from Simeone to convince him to leave the Nou Camp for Stamford Bridge.

Simeone Planning Transfers

According to reports, Simeone is a big fan of Rakitic and has previously tried to sign him before he swapped Sevilla for Barcelona, and he could try to lure him to Chelsea should he become the next permanent manager in West London.

Chelsea are still on the hunt for a new manager, with Guus Hiddink set to leave his interim role at the end of the season, and several names are being linked, including Simeone.

Should he get the job, he wants to bring star-duo Reus and Rakitic with him, as he believes Chelsea’s midfield needs strengthening, as does their attacking options.

Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic have had poor seasons, and Simeone would like to replace one of them with the Croat.
