Chelsea look at Atlético de Madrid again. The London team has been a regular in the different transfer markets of the rojiblanco team and this summer, just after winning the Champions League, they could try again hunt in the Metropolitan.
The operation will not be easy. Different channels of information ensure that even their destination is closed for the next season, but there are other sources that are much more restrained.
The latter grant the opportunity to Chelsea, who will have to fight with Bayern if they want to close the signing: the recent champion of the top European competition, interested in Saúl.
Saúl could leave Atlético Madrid this summer. FC Bayern are interested but no official bid yet, Chelsea are also informed on Saúl situation. Open race and no advanced negotiations yet. Atléti are already in talks for Rodrigo de Paul as potential replacement. ???????? #Athletes #CFC

The latest information denies the offer of 80 million announced on Thursday and puts Chelsea in the fight, a team that would also be following him for next season.
What both parties agree on is his replacement: Atlético de Madrid is decided by Rodrigo de Paul and the latest estimates point to an operation close to 40 kilos.
If Saúl ends up leaving, either to Germany or England, Rodrigo de Paul will be his replacement and Simeone’s team will have a new wild card not only for his midfield, but also for his offensive zone that has created so much danger this season.
