Rebalancing the squad towards those attributes is complicated. Financial Fair Play regulations mean revenue must be raised from sales, thus Mourinho wants to sell Torres, reluctantly considers David Luiz expendable and would even listen to offers for Juan Mata. With all three players championed by Abramovich it is probably better to act while Chelsea’s managerial remarriage is in a honeymoon stage.
Mourinho would like all his signings made in time for July’s pre-season visit to the United States, but this summer’s transfer market is unlikely to assist. Only Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City look capable of agreeing grand transfer fees now and working out the financial details later. Many of the individuals Mourinho is targeting are at clubs prepared to wait until the window’s final weeks to see just how high a price can be extracted.
Napoli insist they will not sell Edinson Cavani for less than his £53m release clause, so Chelsea are offering players in part exchange. The Serie A side want Branislav Ivanovic, but Mourinho sees the Serb as his starting right-back next season. Benfica have asked £25m for Nemanja Matic, so Chelsea may have to sweeten the deal with a young talent such as Thorgan Hazard, who is due to be given a chance on the pre-season tour, or look elsewhere.
Porto never sell anyone at a discount and will not start with the French centre-back Eliaquim Mangala.
For now the only certainties in this new Chelsea team are Oscar at No 10, Eden Hazard on one wing, Lampard in a midfield two, Cole at left-back and Cech in goal. That leaves a lot of well-paid footballers playing for their places. And a lot of scope for wedding gifts.
Wg tego tekstu nie jest tak jak pisała Marca. Mourinho nie chce się pozbyć Maty, a jedynie jest skłonny rozważyć propozycje ze strony innych klubów.
