Chelsea are preparing a £50m bid for Paris Saint-Germain striker
Edinson Cavani, according to the Sunday Express.
Blues manager Maurizio Sarri is said to be unhappy with the striking
options at his disposal and would like the club to strengthen up front during
the January transfer window.
Cavani is 31 years of age, and with the Uruguayan’s contract at PSG
expiring in 18 months, it would be very surprising if Chelsea made an offer as
high as being reported.
The London club have a policy of offering just one-year contract
extensions to players in their thirties and while Sarri is said to be keen to
bring in a new forward, the club may seek out a younger or cheaper alternative
instead.
AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain could be available on a loan deal
while Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson has also been linked with a move to Stamford
Bridge in recent weeks.
However, reports in the English media suggest the Cherries will fight
hard to keep the 26-year-old from the Blues’ grasp this month.
