Matheus Nunes Chelsea proposal offers chance for Bruno Fernandes and Luis Diaz transfer repeat

As with any linked player to Chelsea nowadays, there is a sudden flurry of intrigue and excitement, with people scrambling to digest as much info as they can.

This was present on Wednesday morning when reports coming out of Portuguese publication A Bola, via the Express, proclaimed that Chelsea will look to offer around £39million for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes, who could be on the move this window.

Although early reports of an actual bid being submitted for Nunes might be inaccurate. Ben Jacobs of CBS reported that the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, has yet to receive any contact from Chelsea.

It is not hard to connect the dots given the recently reported meeting held between Mendes and Todd Boehly, where the idea of Cristiano Ronaldo joining Chelsea was apparently discussed. These noises for Nunes indicate the midfielder might have also been brought up.

The midfield area is certainly one of uncertainty this summer, with both N'Golo Kante and Jorginho heading into the final year of their contracts, whilst Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been linked with a move away. Although the consistent conversation over a new midfielder has leaned towards a defensively-minded player like Declan Rice, Nunes could go someway toward refreshing an ageing area.
