Liam Rosenior has barely settled into his new role at Chelsea, but the Blues are already being linked with a blockbuster move, with reports in Spain claiming the club are considering a £135 million bid for Real Madrid star Vinícius Junior.

Liam Rosenior is through the door at Chelsea, and already the club are reportedly weighing up a mammoth signing to strengthen his squad.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are plotting a massive £135m move for Real Madrid’s Vincius Junior.

The Brazilian is not too happy in the Spanish capital under Xabi Alonso and is yet to agree an extension to his contract that runs until June 2027.

This could open up the possibility of a sale, with Los Blancos keen not to lose him for nothing in 18 months.
