Scolari looks to supersize Chelsea
June 14th 2008 01:36
Football superstars Kaka and Fernando Torres are just some of the players new Chelsea manager Luis Felipi Scolari has in mind to lure to Stamford Bridge next season.
Scolari, who will start his new post once Portugal's EURO campaign ends, said Barcelona players Deco and Eto are also on Chelsea's radar.
Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich will be required to loft out hefty paychecks in order to meet the demands of the Brazilian coach. British paper 'The Times' reports Scolari is keen in bringing Brazilian ace Kaka and Liverpool forward Torres to London.
Despite the strong interest, AC Milan's technical director Leonardo, said Kaka is pure "Milanista" and would not be heading anywhere.
"How is the situation with these players? contracting Kaka is impossible because he is milanista and will be for the rest of his career" Leonardo said.
Spanish forward Torres is also unlikely to head to Chelsea, after Liverpool's owners said they would be reluctant to any offer made by their London rivals for their star striker.
Torres is coming off a great season with the english giants after scoring 33 goals in his first season in the Premier League.
Spanish sports tabloid ' Marca' however, said the chances of both Deco and Eto playing for Chelsea next season are very good.
Spanish media reports the English finalists are close in seizing a deal with FC Barcelona to lure the Portugese and Cameroon internationals respectively. Chelsea are willing to pay 55 million euros for their services.
