Chelsea was offered Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez

Champions League winners Chelsea FC was, according to information from SPOX and goal Midfielder Saul Niguez offered by Atletico Madrid. The Blues are currently considering a loan from the Spaniard.

Thomas Tuchel’s club is currently less convinced of a permanent transfer, but a loan for an acceptable sum is definitely an issue.

Both clubs have a good relationship with each other, Atletico would like to get Niguez off their payroll for at least a year to create financial room for new players like Matheus Cunha.

In the 2020/21 championship season, 26-year-old Niguez no longer played a leading role under Diego Simeone. His salary in Madrid is seven million euros a year. In the event of a loan, Chelsea would have to take over this completely.

Chelsea could buy Saul Niguez for 45 million

In addition, the Rojiblancos offer the Londoners the option to sign the player after the loan expires, despite the release clause over 150 million euros for a sum of 45 million euros.

While Tuchel is open to newcomers, Chelsea initially wants to give up a few players before the Niguez issue is specifically addressed. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ethan Ampadu, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ross Barkley and Danny Drinkwater are all candidates for an exit.

In the recent past, Niguez has been associated with FC Bayern Munich again and again.
