Saul Niguez has been offerd to Chelsea for a loan move

The Spanish star is on the verge of leaving Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico Madrid

star Saul Niguez has been offered to

Chelsea

as Thomas Tuchel seeks to strengthen Blues midfield.

Chelsea can now sign the 26-year-old midfielder on a one-year loan deal with a clause for a permanent deal. Atleti who have previously had a number of deals with Chelsea, have a good relationship with the club, and since their main goal is to sign Matheus Cunha from Hertha Berlin, they intend to reduce their salaries to be able to afford the transfer.

Last season, when Atletico won La Liga, Saul had a difficult time losing his place in the squad. He quickly became an

surplus

player on the team and was noticed by Premier League clubs. He earns €7 million a year, and Atletico need a club to fully pay the salary.

His release clause is €150 million, but Chelsea are trying to reduce that figure to €45 million. On the other hand, Thomas Tuchel feels the need to strengthen his team's midfield and intends to cover this weakness by attracting players.
