Chelsea Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Sergio Busquets and Marco Reus

Published by Bleacher Report on Mon, 22 Dec 2014


Jose Mourinho may have ruled out the prospect of making any signings in January, per talkSPORT (h/t Mark Bowering of Goal.com), but you can guarantee that behind the scenes there will be plans in place for upcoming windows, as the Portuguese looks to fine-tune his already formidable squad.Our project is to start and finish the season with the same group of players, said Mourinho, per the aforementioned piece. So there will be nobody to leave and nobody to come in either.Bleacher Report's Garry Hayes thinks some activity could happen, though:Indeed, youd have to be some player to improve this Blues starting XI, so it's perhaps unsurprising that the Stamford Bridge outfit have been linked with two genuine world-class talents.One player who represents a very interesting proposition for the club is Sergio Busquets. According to Anthony Chapman of the Express, the Barcelona man is being tracked by a clutch of European footballs elite teams, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all reportedly interested.Chapman claims that Busquetsa player who has won copious honours in his time with the Blaugranais looking for a fresh challenge, even though Luis Enrique is set to offer the player a new contract. Heres a look at what kind of qualities the Spaniard could potentially bring to Stamford Bridge:Its difficult to see Barcelona sanctioning any sale, though. The 26-year-old is a player who is vital to the way in which the Blaugrana set up, and while the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez typically grab the headlines, the understated, unnoticed work done by the Spanish international is just as important.Here are some figures from Busquets this season in league matches alongside some of the continent's finest holding midfield men:Indeed, he is a big character in the dressing room too, and someone who can help the development of young players looking to follow in his footstepsplayers like Sergi Samper, as noted here per Barca:The player seems settled in Catalonia and has a contract that runs until 2018, meaning the club would be under no obligation to sell. Indeed, given Barcelonas transfer banwhich will prevent them from signing players up until January 2016if Enrique did sanction a summer sale, they wouldnt be able to go out and buy a replacement immediately.Given Chelseas current crop of excellent central midfield playersNemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas are flourishing as a pairits a deal that looks very, very unlikely.Another player who looks increasingly unlikely to rock up at Stamford Bridge is Marco Reus, with reports in Spain (h/t Marc Williams of the Daily Star) claiming that the player has already agreed a deal that will see him join Real Madrid. According to Williams piece, the sensational recent form of Los Blancos and the prospect of a five-year deal have made up the Germans mind.Heres a look at why Chelsea and a host of Europes elite have been supposedly keeping tabs on the Borussia Dortmund man:For Blues supporters, the prospect of Reus linking up with Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa is a tantalising one. But even Chelseaa team that look insatiable in their quest for honours this seasondont have the gravitas to compete with Real Madrid, even though Reus would most likely get more game time at Stamford Bridge than at the Santiago Bernabeu.When you look at the attacking talent at Carlo Ancelottis disposal, Reus could certainly face a fight to get into the first team at the Santiago Bernabeu, per RMadridHome:With Reus unlikely to leave Dortmund until the end of the season, rumours regarding his future will surely continue to run and run. Chelsea would be a fine destination for him, and hes one of a smattering of players who could potentially improve their already stellar attacking options. But if Real Madrid come calling, its admittedly tough to turn a blind eye.Read more World Football news on BleacherReport.com
