Monaco have gone through to the next round of the UEFA Champions League, but their star midfielder Joao Moutinho could be looking for a move in the up coming January transfer window, with Chelsea being reported as the club to be ready to make a move in case the French outfit decide to cash in, according to the Express.

Chelsea have finished their Champions League group stage campaign on a high with a comfortable 3-1 win over Sporting Lisbon at Stamford Bridge. The match marked the last group game of the competition, and was of no significance in terms of points and positions to the home side. Jose Mourinho played a relatively youthful side, with players like Kurt Zouma and Mohamed Salah getting the nod to start. The Blues have finished top of the group, and will hence avoid rivals group leaders like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the next round.

Monaco on the other hand have also qualified through to the knockout round with a comfortable 2-0 win over Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg in their final group game. The side led by manager Leonardo Jardim has already lost star players like James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao after last season, and they risk losing Moutinho in January. Jorge Mendes, who is Moutinho’s agent, has let clubs like Chelsea know about the player’s availability, and a £30 million bid could be in the offing come January.
