CHELSEA and Manchester United have received a huge transfer boost with the news that Atletico Madrid have knocked £40m off the price of Saul Niguez. 1 Saul has been at Atletico Madrid for over a decadeAnd both Chelsea and Man United will feel Saul is an achievable signing now that The Metro have reported that his price tag has dropped from £125m down to £85m. Therefore, Saul may look at Chelsea as a better fit given the free-flowing, attacking football being played under Frank Lampard. Chelsea are keen to do business after their transfer ban was reduced, meaning they can sign players in the mid-season window. It may be the case that Atletico decide not to sell Niguez if Thomas Lemar leaves in January, so that is a factor United and Chelsea will also have to consider.
