Man Utd could make shock move for Chelsea defender
Manchester United could make a shock approach to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah at the end of the campaign.
The Red Devils could be busy during the summer transfer window and the priority could be on bolstering the central defence.
Raphael Varane has been a key player for the club, but he could leave on a free transfer when his contract expires in June.
This could pave the way for a marquee signing and it is reported that Chalobah remains a potential target for United.
Fichajes claim that United wanted to land his signature last summer, but a deal did not materialise with the west Londoners.
The club are prepared to try again during the off-season. United are optimistic of signing him due to Chelsea's need to sell.
The Blues need to recoup around £100 million from player sales this summer in order to avoid Financial Fair Play breaches.
Chalobah could become the second Chelsea player moving to Old Trafford in as many seasons. Mason Mount made the switch last year.
