Agent confirms Chelsea talks over €30m Corona

Chelsea are interested in Porto’s Jesus Corona, says the Mexico international’s agent. However, the agent is not sure whether the £27m release clause is “plan A, B or C”. The Blues eye Corona as an alternative for Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho. Corona has been in impressive form for Porto this season scoring two goals and making 17 assists in 41 games for the Portuguese club. Player's agent Matias Bunge has told Medio Tiempo: “At some point we talked to them [Chelsea]. I cannot say if he’s option A, B or C, now they are rather rumours. “We’ll have to wait a bit for this to continue moving forward and for the leagues to begin again, and from there see what the next movements will be because the market is a little bit stopped. “He has two years left on his contract. He did awaken a lot of interest for his participation in this particular tournament [Primera Liga], which has been outstanding and at a high level, but now with the current situation of the virus everything has slowed down a bit, the signings are in quarantine.” The agent also has confirmed interest from Spain and Germany. He added: “The current [release] clause is €30m. From there we’ll see how things happen. Today, Jesus has been a fundamental part of Porto for several seasons and we’re going to see where it ends. We have spoken with several teams from England, Spain, some from Germany, but well, normally at this time of year we talk more deeply, and in this market the leagues are either resuming or haven’t been able to conclude. All the teams are seeing what happens to their sales or their signings so from there the ball continues to roll in the offices.” Source: Goal
