Matic Partner? Chelsea Makes OFFICIAL Bid For £10m Rated Dm

Per French media outlets, Chelsea has submitted yet another bid for Giannelli Imbula. Imbula is a holding midfielder that plays for the French national team and Marseille in Ligue 1. He is only 22 years of age, and has a very bright future. Chelsea has been linked to Imbula for years now, but he has either rejected a move or Chelsea has been unable to meet Marseille’s demands. But this summer will be different, because Andre Pierre-Gignac and Andre Ayew are set to leave Marseille on free transfers this summer, and the French club will be desperate for funds to replace their stars. The bid is reported to be valued at about £10million, which would be a bargain for Chelsea.

Imbula rejected a move in 2013 to Chelsea because he did not want to owned by the club for five years, and be loaned out to multiple clubs throughout his young career. Imbula has developed into an impressive player at Marseille, but his fee of only €800,000 in 2013 has grown as a result.

Chelsea are desperate for a reserve holding midfielder, that can backup Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic, as we see that they are a totally different team without either of them in the lineup. Imbula has the pace, and is very efficient on the ball, with excellent technique and ability to go forward. Imbula could even grow into a star, and Chelsea could profit off selling him in the future.

Imbula is a reliant player off of the bench, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek is an obstacle. Mourinho has publicly admitted his praise for his teenage starlet, and has started him the last two matches. He has played very well in his appearances, and Mourinho as a result said that he will not loan him out next season. Loftus-Cheek and Imbula would be one of the most physical midfields in the world in five years, and will flourish under Mourinho’s system.

Imbula will be a great signing because he would be a perfect fit next to Loftus-Cheek, his ability to play off of the bench, and his extremely bright future.
