As per the Sun, Chelsea are set to move for the Athletic Bilbao star Oscar de Marcos in the summer. According to the report, the player was watched by the scouts from Chelsea in the Europa league match last week.
The Spanish midfielder is valued at £20 million and at 26 will be an ideal replacement for Ramires who left Stamford Bridge for Chinese super league in the January transfer window.
The Premier League champions will have to freshen up their team by reorganizing and weeding out the squad after a major disappointing season this year. Unlikely to make it to Champions League next season their best bet is probably to take talented Europa League players who can push the Blues to top four finish next year.
Antonio Conte is reported to be heading to Chelsea after Euro 2016 and will take the final call on Marcos but considering that there may be a mass exodus at Chelsea in the summer Marcos seems like a good candidate to build the new Chelsea.
