  As per Spanish outlet SPORT (via  Football.London), Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has convinced the club to try and sign Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde this summer window. The report reveals that an offer of around £85m would be made to sign the Uruguay international who has been an integral part of Madrid’s success in the recent past.

It remains to be seen if Pochettino can conjure some magic and attract the player’s interest towards working with him.

In last year’s Champions League Final, the 24-year-old started on the right wing and assisted the match-winning goal for Vinicius Jr. The Uruguayan is a manager’s dream not just because of his flexibility, but his ability to carry out tactical instructions on the field is second to none...
