Chelsea in running to seal transfer of Maurizio Sarri favourite in potential clue over current star’s future

Chelsea are reportedly among the clubs interested in the transfer of out-of-favour Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez.

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is a long-time admirer of the Barca midfielder, having several times tried to sign him for Napoli, and he’s now in for him again, according to Spanish publication Marca.

Suarez could be a good fit for the kind of football Sarri likes his teams to play, even if he’s never been much of a regular for Barcelona.

The 24-year-old has long been rated as decent prospect for the future, but is now surely running out of time to prove himself at the highest level.

Chelsea could perhaps offer him more chances of playing time, despite also having plenty of top quality midfield players on their books themselves at the moment.
