Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin has some info on a Chelsea star this week as he believes Real Madrid will come calling.
However, he also doesn’t think there would be much to worry about because Chelsea will not be interested in selling him unless they dropped an extortionate transfer fee down.

But as it what happens when you have a world class player who is in the best form of his life and has become one of the best in the world in his position, the big clubs will come calling.
And Nevin believes Real Madrid are about to come calling for Moises Caicedo after his incredible and consistent form over the last couple of seasons.

So what has Nevin said about Real Madrid and Caicedo then?
Speaking about the midfielder, Nevin said: “Moises Caicedo is capable of playing in any team because he’s more than a destructive player, he’s an absolute genius defensively. Yes, he would interest Real Madrid, but I can’t see the numbers working. I’m struggling to see the numbers working.
“Because if he’s bought for £100m, or £115m depending on what you hear about the add-ons, etc., how much is he going to have to spend to get him to give Chelsea a viable profit that they don’t feel as if they’ve lost one of their best, if not their best, player?
You’re talking 200 odd million. Unless you’re a forward scoring 30, 40 goals a season, that market, I’m not sure about. Even though Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo were both bought for over 100 million and I have to say, it shocked a lot of us, that amount of money spent in that position. But to go further than that, I don’t know.”
