Chelsea are understood to want Porto winger Ricardo Quaresma - and are prepared topay big money. According to a report in today's Sun newspaper, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would like to bring Ricardo Quaresma to Stamford Bridge ro strengthen the Blues' attacking options. But, claims the newspaper, Porto's valuation of £25 million for the winger is well above what Chelsea want to pay. And with the transfer window closing tomorrow, they have reportedly already offered Paulo Ferreira plus some £8 million cash to the Portuguese club, Mourinho's previous employers. Ferreira is another ex-Porto man, as is Ricardo Carvalho. The Sun reckons Porto are holding out on the Quearesma deal in the hope of getting as much money for the winger as possible. It was The Sun that yesterday claimed Chelsea had entered into negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur about a possible swap deal involving Shaun Wright-Phillips and Jermain Defoe moving in opposite directions. Chelsea later issued a statement denying they were looking to transfer Wright-Phillips but according The Sun that is because Spurs are insisting on cash plus the winger for Defoe, and the Blues have consequently turned their attention towards Quaresma rather than Defoe. The newspaper reckons that, following the departure of Arjen Robben to Real Madrid, Mourinho is concerned his 4-3-3 formation could be undermined by injuries and wants to bring in attacking cover. Porto have already sold Brazil defender Pepe to Real Madrid and Anderson to Manchester United this summer for a combined fee of £42 million. Will Quaresma, 23, be next? And will he fancy a move to the Premier League? There are now less than 48 hours for any deal to be struck. |
