Chelsea Vying With Real Madrid To Sign £33m Rated Former Liverpool Midfielder

Real Madrid have joined Chelsea in pursuing AC Milan playmaker Suso, according to reports in Italy.

The former Liverpool midfielder currently has a €38m (£33m) release clause in his contract with the Rossoneri, which the Spanish club are looking to exploit.

Chelsea have also reportedly contacted Suso’s agent Alessandro Lucci in recent weeks to register their interest.

Both the Blues and Real are said to be mindful that the 24-year-old’s buyout fee expires in July so a bid would need to be placed either in January or very early in the summer transfer window.

Suso has been in top form for Milan this season, having scored four goals and provided seven assists in just 12 games.

Due to his excellent performances, the Rossoneri are said to be keen to sign the Spaniard up to a new deal, removing the release clause and preventing the likes of Chelsea from getting the player on the cheap.
