Players agent announces Chelsea are closing in on second summer signing
Players agent announces Chelsea are closing in on second summer signing. The agent of Pedro Lima has confirmed that the Brazilian is on the verge of joining Chelsea. The CHELSEA board have been busy over the past couple of transfer windows and signed alot of players for the future – but despite the fact that they need to sign experienced stars – they are sticking to their transfer policy.
Following the recent links between the Blues and the 17-year-old, outlet Globo Esporte recently brought some interesting updates on the player’s situation, as they claimed that Sport Recife already have ‘official offers’ for his transfer in hand, and one of the clubs who are interested in him is Chelsea.
Today the player’s agent Renato Guimaraes has openly spoken in detail about the move, revealing how close it is to being done. According to the representative, things are very close in on the personal terms side of things.
One can only assume therefore that the club have a vague understanding of the shape of a deal on their side too.
“There has been progress in the negotiations, but it’s not over yet,” Guimaraes said in quotes picked up by Brazilian source Globo Esporte. “The salary part is settled, but there are still some clauses to be defined in the contract, some bonuses.”
Wasting millions on a lad that will not be ready to make an impact on the first team for a few seasons could be another transfer mistake – CHELSEA do not need to sign anymore talents.
They already have a number of these type of players at the club – or out on loan – so adding another one to the squad will not be news that fans want to see as the club are falling behind the likes of Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and probably even Aston Villa. He is decent – but not needed.
