Apparently he will demand to leave Monaco if they fail to qualify for the CL which is pretty much certain since they just lost 3-1 in the 1st leg to a good Valencia team. Since we are looking for a CM as well and Pogba seems to be a dream/fantasy and Witsel deal going nowhere, could we make a surprise late push for this guy?

Excellent player who excels in counter attacking football when he bossed the Arsenal midfield in their 3-1 win at Emirates and generally an excellent player. Fee also won't be huge I imagine, maybe 20-25m max and doubt he would want a lot in wages either.

What do you guys think? Could he become one of our suprise signing if we fail to sign Pogba?

He's great option in my opinion. The problem would be his wages as much as anything.

Tbh if we wait next summer for Pogba/Koke I think it's necessary to have another midfielder now as a short-term solution. Don't look forward seeing Ramires/Mikel/Zouma there or be outweight with Fabregas.

I think even Jeremy Toulalan would be a good option.

An unexpected option but one interesting option. An incredible playmaker who do not deserve to play in Monaco. Moutinho could play in a big club like Chelsea: perfect for corner kick and faults, TOP player giving assists, able to organize the game. One of those silent stars capable of moving a team. Besides having a lot of experience and leadership.

With Fabregas missing, maybe Moutinho is an interesting option.

I think Valencia is going to win Monaco in the Champions League, and they need to sell players because they will not have the income from Champions. Players like Moutinho, Bernardo Silva (this guy is going to be a star), Fabinho or Kurzawa (maybe impossible) may be in the market with a good deal if Monaco is eliminated.

By the way, when we were negotiating the loan of Falcao and I remember how as some reports said that Monaco wanted Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan for the next season. If we want to sign Moutinho maybe we could offer RLC on loan. In this way Monaco would have a player for the midfield, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek would play in an important team in the French league, playing Europa League and not being in our bench all the season. A good deal for everyone.

Regards.

So now with Monaco definitely out of CL, let' see if anyone come in for him if those rumors are true. Wouldn't surprise me if we fail with Pogba and decide to to sign him on deadline day as a temporary stop gap for a couple of years.

Yeah, João Filipe Victor Iría Santos Moutinho Lagullón fits perfectly in this team.

I also like Jérémy Toulalan, an amazing 4. And Thomas Lemar who play amazingly today.

That name, longest name for a Chelsea player :D :D :D
