Internacional winger’s agent confirms Chelsea ‘like’ his client

Chelsea are one of the clubs that have an interest in Internacional winger Mauricio.

Vozes do Gigante have revealed that Chelsea could buy the 22-year-old, with Colorado looking to make €12 million with his sale. Chelsea is one of the clubs that have interest in Internacional winger Mauricio.

It’s interesting because it appears that the Blues have links with a number of players who are less well-known and less expensive, which is a departure from their recent approach of signing £100 million stars like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

The latest player they have links with would cost around €12 million, which is a total snip in comparison to many other recent signings of Chelsea, and this might be because they have one eye on not breaking financial rules going forward.

André Cury, who takes care of Mauricio’s career, said about Chelsea’s interest:

“I know they like him a lot, but so far there have been no enquiries. He’s got several enquiries from Europe.”

A star in making

The 22-year-old has been the centre of attention not only in Brazil but also on the radar of major European clubs. Since arriving at Internacional back in 2020, the youngster has 25 goals and 25 assists in 165 appearances.

The young midfielder’s potential on the field is undeniable, significantly contributing to his ability to score goals and create opportunities for his teammates. His consistent performance and youth make him a valuable asset for any team seeking success both domestically and internationally.

With an impressive track record of goals and assists, his promising journey has caught the eye of giants like Flamengo, Botafogo, Chelsea, and Tottenham. Mauricio is also far from being a big star in Brazilian football, so we better wait and see if Chelsea’s interest materializes.

Since the player turns 23 in the summer, we must point out that this isn’t a very common signing for the Blues to make, as they’re usually more focused on signing younger players from Brazil. Brazil continues to be an endless source of talent for the world of soccer, and Maurício is just a shining example of this reality.
