CHELSEA OUT TO BAG SERGIO AGUERO

CHELSEA last night launched a stunning £50miIlion bid to sign Atletico Madrid goal ace Sergio Aguero – after it was revealed the player was close to joining Juventus.

The Blues’ dramatic move for Aguero, 23, comes as Atletico coach Gregorio Manzano warned ­mega-bucks Manchester City – who are also ­interested in the Argentina striker – to make an offer or face the prospect of having to meet his £45m release clause.


Chelsea’s bid is intended to blow everyone out of the water. If accepted it would mean that chairman Roman Abramovich has spent £100m on strikers this year, following on from his £50m capture of Fernando Torres, 27, from Liverpool.


And with David Luiz, 24, also having joined the ranks for £20m in January, the Russian ­billionaire has not been shy with his cash as he targets winning the Champions League.


Aguero, who has netted 74 goals in 175 appearances for Atletico, sparked a transfer frenzy earlier this month when he announced he wanted to leave the Vicente Calderon.


Juventus, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have also been linked with the hitman, who is Diego Maradona’s son-in-law, although none have come close to Atletico’s valuation.


Aguero looked set to snub a move to the Premier League in favour of Serie A and Juve – but the player is now reconsidering his options after the stunning offer from Stamford Bridge.


His arrival in west London would cast serious doubt over the future of Chelsea’s other strikers.


Didier Drogba, 33, has been linked with Spanish club Malaga after a season plagued by injury.


If Drogba stays, Frenchman Nicolas Anelka, 31, could be heading for the exit door to make room for Aguero and Torres.


The plot thickens even further with the return of Daniel Sturridge, 21, from a loan spell at Bolton, where he scored eight goals in 11 games for the Trotters. It remains to be seen whether City will follow suit and launch a mega-bid to tempt Aguero to Eastlands.


Newly-appointed Manzano sparked Chelsea’s move yesterday when he warned interested clubs that they should do a deal before July 4 or face the prospect of matching Aguero’s release clause.


He said: “Until July 4, when our pre-season starts, we are able to negotiate for Aguero.


“After this date, clubs that want to take him away will have to pay his release clause.


“We have to impose ourselves on the market and so we need to know whether we can count on our strongest player.”


Aguero’s departure will leave Atletico with a real headache.


The future of his strike partner Diego Forlan, 32, is in doubt and highly-rated goalkeeper David de Gea, 20, is expected to join Manchester United as a replacement for Edwin van der Sar.


Meanwhile, Chelsea defender ­Jeffrey Bruma is set to join Hamburg on a two-year loan spell.


The deal will see the Blues retaining the option to recall the Dutchman, 19, next summer.


Bruma follows ex-team-mates Michael Mancienne, Gokhan Tore and Jacopo Sala to Hamburg, after the recent appointment of former Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen at the Bundesliga club.


Arnesen played a pivotal role in the raid that’s now seen Hamburg capture a fourth Chelsea ­youngster.


Bruma’s agent, Wessel Weezenberg, is hopeful the move will give his client the chance to secure more regular first-team football.

haha however it was only posted a few hours ago.. So who knows.

I'll be honest, this would be a dream move for me But I think its unnecessary. We should have gone for him instead of Torres tbh. Bah! Ok lets see who else reports this.. If he comes I think Kalou should be sent the other way reduce 12-15m at least. But I highly doubt the credibility of this move... specially with us not having a manager yet.

How would we line-up infinity?

Torres, Sturridge, Drogba, Lukaku and Aguero.


City 2.0 TBH.

Yes thats why I said its unnecessary

Its in many English papers today, hope its not true.

I am pretty sure the 50m bid is false, because Aguero buyout clause is 45m, and the club has said they are willing to listen to offers for 40m.

The thing is because you are not a spanish club the clause is irrelevant it only effects spanish clubs you have to pay the taxes on top of the 45 million fee which takes it up well beyond 50 million.

I thought the taxes were not a problem for non-spanish clubs.. Cos I saw somewhere as Madrid having to pay something like 70m ..

drogba,torres and aguero?????suicide

Drogba is 33... Aguero is 23... see the difference?

But Still, I think Aguero is not needed. Hopefully Torres starts scoring.
