Chelsea are currently on a fantastic form this season so far that only a last minute change in performances can prevent them from winning the premier league title at the end of the season.
Club owner and billionaire Roman Abramovich is known for spending big cash to bring in players he wants and latest reports have it that he has reached a verbal agreement that is worth €180million with La Liga side Barcelona to sign one of their star players Neymar.
CIES Football Obseravtory currently placed the Samba star as the world’s most valuable player (€225.9), who also has a release clause of €222million with Barcelona.
Nevertheless, reports last week claimed that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is not interested in the Brazilian international as he wants to trim his squad first.To many, it is surprising that the former Juventus manager would block a move for a player like Neymar – a world-class player definitely better than all the playmakers in the Chelsea squad. Many other managers are hoping for situations where the management would splash big to get superb players that will add more quality to their team. But the Italian manager, who offloaded another superb player last summer – in the person of Oscar, is not interested in Abramovich’s gestures.
At Barcelona, the Brazilain only starts on the left hand side of the attack alongside the duo of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. And this season so far, all the 35 games he has appeared for the Spanish giants are all from the left wing, and he has scored 14 goals with 23 assists.
