Chelsea have again attempted to tempt Tottenham Hotspur for their star Luka Modric, while Palermo’s Javier Pastore is also reportedly on the Blues’ radar.
After having an offer turned down, Chelsea owner Abramovich looks set to splash a sum of £22m for the midfielder. The purpose of the Croatian’s landing at the Stamford Bridge is based on the Russian billionaire’s idea to rejuvenate his side and obtain more fuel for the upcoming season’s immense challenges.

Although a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti has yet to be appointed, glimpses of success over the Luka Modric bid could help the Londoners be more stable in their current situation, as they try to correct the mistakes that destroyed most of their plans in the last term. Whilst talks are anticipated to last for a period of time between Chelsea and Spurs, the Stamford Bridge occupants have also picked Palermo’s Javier Pastore as the perfect helper to solve their glitches upfront.

The Argentine attacking midfielder’s attainments since 2009 in Italy have remarkably raised his buyout clause, causing Chelsea to now look above £40m in order to reach an agreement with the Eagles. The Premier League giants could opt to reduce their price for the young Argentinian ace, but doing so would only better Barcelona and Real Madrid’s chances in the race for the playmaker.
