Chelsea are considering revisiting their pursuit of Micah Richards.
May 16, 2008
Ricardo Carvalho has admitted that he is unsure whether he will still be at Stamford Bridge next season, although he reminded press that he still has a contract with the club.
Andriy Shevchenko’s future at Chelsea has been under speculation for months, with a return to AC Milan seen as his most likely option. It now appears that Turkish outfit Fenerbache are interested in the Ukrainian.
Chelsea are considering revisiting their pursuit of Micah Richards. Jose Mourinho came close to signing Manchester City’s England defender 16 months ago for £18 million before the deal was vetoed by owner Roman Abramovich. Richards has been unsettled by the likely departure of manager Sven-Goran Eriksson but would cost at least £20 million.
In a summer spending spree that would eclipse all before it, Chelsea are also willing to part with £79 million on just three players: Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid for £25 million, £27 million on bringing Frank Ribery from Bayern Munich and £27 million on VFB Stuttgart’s Mario Gomez.
Speculation over Didier Drogba’s future has once again increased as Chelsea have been linked with a number of strikers in recent days. Drogba has been linked to a three-year deal with AC Milan to serve under Jose Mourinho if he replaces Carlo Ancelotti next season, while fans will be worried to hear that “a very big European club” is willing to splash £32 million on Petr Cech, according to the goalkeeper, who is attempting to negotiate a pay rise on his current £50,000-a-week contract.
