Neymar is a £40m target for Chelsea
ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS will take over as Chelsea manager in the next 24 hours and is targeting an incredible £80million worth of new players to join his blue revolution.
He was in London last night and is expected to be confirmed by tomorrow as Roman Abramovich's seventh manager of the past seven seasons. Andre Villas-Boas, 33, wants to bring £26million Colombian striker Radamel Falcao with him from Porto – and also highly rated £14m midfielder Joao Moutinho.
And last night super agent Pini Zahavi was in Sao Paulo with Chelsea representatives ready to make a new £40m offer for Santos teenager Neymar.
Santos take on Penarol of Uruguay tonight in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final in Sao Paulo, having drawn 0-0 in the first game in Montevideo.
Chelsea have already had a £30m bid for Brazilian Neymar turned down, but are ready to make an improved offer.
The new arrivals would throw doubt over several of Chelsea’s stars.
That includes strikers Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, but also midfielders Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel. Villas-Boas left Porto yesterday after Chelsea agreed to pay them £13.2m compensation.
Previous favourite Guus Hiddink will be seeing out his contract with Turkey.
Chelsea are hoping to make an official announcement about their new manager soon, with Villas-Boas likely to bring in two of his Porto assistants.
