Chelsea contact sister of £180k-a-week target, ready to pay his release clause

Interim boss Guus Hiddink has done extremely well to turn things around at Stamford Bridge after the departure of Jose Mourinho, but he was always going to be a short-term appointment.

Simeone has been linked with a move to Chelsea over the last few months and now Mirror have claimed that the Blues got in touch with the Argentine’s sister to make him aware of their interest.

The Argentine is regarded as one of the finest managers in Europe right now and he has already won the La Liga with Atletico Madrid.
