According to Italian outlet Mundo Udinese via Sport Witness (h/t Daily Star), Chelsea are still interested in Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso, in spite of having signed Edouard Mendy in the summer.
The 26-year-old Musso came through the ranks at Racing Club in his homeland Argentina. After 34 first-team appearances, the custodian was snapped up by Udinese in the summer of 2018.
Since moving to Italy, Musso has racked up 76 appearances for Le Zebrette managing to secure 23 clean sheets in the process. The one-time capped Argentine international has featured in eight games this term, keeping two shut-outs.
The report claims that Musso had registered on the radars of Chelsea earlier this year when Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero were struggling to nail down a place in the first-team.
However, the club did not pursue the Argentine in the summer. Instead, we ended up signing Edouard Mendy from Ligue 1 side Rennes. And the 28-year-old Senegalese has been a huge hit at the Bridge.
In 12 games across all competitions, Mendy has managed a highly-impressive nine clean sheets. With him in the side, the Chelsea defence has massively improved this season.
However, that hasn’t stopped Chelsea from monitoring Musso, who could be sold in the next summer transfer window. (h/t Daily Star)
With the club understood to be ready to part ways with Kepa and Caballero touching 40, a new goalkeeper could be needed once the season ends.
And Musso, who is valued at around €30m (£27m), could be an intriguing option for the club to consider.
