Agent confirms Chelsea interest in Corona

By Emmanuel Oladele - Chelsea are interested in FC Porto winger, Jesus Corona who has been impressive in recent time, but the Blues have not made any official offer for the pacy forward, the player's agent, Matias Bunge confirmed.

The Mexican has €30m in his release clause which will not be a huge amount for a team like Chelsea.

Chelsea have identified many targets as they prepare to bolster their squad ahead of next season and are considering the option of signing the 27-year-old who can also play as a right-back.

Matias Bunge told Medio Tiempo that "some point we talked to them (Chelsea). I cannot say if he's option A, B or C, now they are rather rumours."

"We'll have to wait a bit for this to continue moving forward and for the leagues to begin again, and from there see what the next movements will be because the market is a little bit stopped."

"He has two years left on his contract. He did awaken a lot of interest for his participation in this particular tournament (Primera Liga), which has been outstanding and at a high level, but now with the current situation of the virus everything has slowed down a bit, the signings are in quarantine," Bunge added.

The Agent also revealed that clubs from Spain, Germany and England have also revealed their interest in the forward.

Bunge said, "we have spoken with several teams from England, Spain, some from Germany, but well, normally at this time of the year we talk more deeply, and in this market the leagues are either resuming or haven't been able to conclude."

Chelsea will have to compete with several teams to secure the service of the 27-year-old Mexican who is on the radar of several other clubs.
