Noni Madueke set for Chelsea as Ruud van Nistelrooy admits PSV losing transfer battle

Chelsea have had a £30million offer for winger Noni Madueke rejected but if they get close to £40m then PSV Eindhoven will accept the deal despite Ruud van Nistelrooy wanting to keep him

PSV Eindhoven coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted that his club are fighting a losing battle to keep Noni Madueke out of Chelsea’s clutches.

The Blues have had an initial bid worth £30 million rejected by the Dutch club - and Van Nistelrooy has been urging his club’s director of football Marcel Brands to keep the England Under-21 international in Holland.

But Van Nistelrooy has revealed that he is already looking for a replacement for the 20-year-old winger. And Chelsea will get their man if they can get close to PSV’s £40 million valuation. Van Nistelrooy said: “It is now a case of looking for a good replacement. It looks like we could lose another big player this winter transfer window.

“I know that they (Chelsea) want Madueke. I would rather not let him go, but I can’t stop big clubs from showing such a massive interest in him. “Madueke has created the interest by himself, because of his terrific qualities and his performances here in the Netherlands and in European games.

“I wanted to see if there was any way we could keep him here. My hope was on a longer spell of Madueke here at PSV Eindhoven. “So I told the club to try and do everything to keep him. He is quality for this club. But I know things take a completely different turn when the big money comes on the table.”

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their squad to give manager Graham Potter a chance to rescue their season. They have already spent more than £300 million under new owner Todd Boehly.

But after also paying £9 million to take Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid for the rest of the season, they saw the Portuguese striker sent off on his debut in the derby defeat at Fulham.

Cash-strapped Dutch club need to raise money after failing to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League. They eased their financial worries by selling Cody Gakpo to Liverpool for £43 million.

Chelsea’s first offer for Madueke was not enough to make PSV’s resolve crumble. Barnet-born Madueke came through Tottenham’s youth system.

He captained Spurs Under-15s team and had progressed to the Under-18s team when he took up PSV’s offer of a three-year contract at the age of 16.

Madueke also represented England at youth level and made his Under-21 debut last year. PSV rewarded Madueke with a new contract that runs until 2025 and handed him the club’s coveted No 10 shirt.

Van Nistelrooy said: “It is now a case of looking for a good replacement. It looks like we could lose another big player this winter transfer window.

Arse is going to pay €95m (£84.5m) or more for Mudryk

pretty crazy for a player who never has played in a top 10 (let alone a Big 5) league

and who only plays LW (same as Martinelli)

Yeah, I don’t quite understand them doing so either. I mean, fair play to them making themselves stronger despite already flying but I figured they’d be a bit more cautious after paying huge money for another wide attacker recently (Pepe) and being burned.

United has improved after Casemiro. 

It's what we need, to fix our midfield. 

We will improve afterwards.

Enzo and Caicedo.

Missing out on Enzo only to overpay for turds. 

[Strike 7,250]

People on here were convinced last week that the board was sensible because they were not spending 100m on a player with little experience 🥳

[Mhsc 904]

Got to hope it is all media / agent nonsense trying to raise the price Arsenal are willing to bid to get him.

Can't wait for the same clowns that said I'm glad we didn't overpay for Enzo will come and say sometimes you need to overpay to get quality.

[Pizy 18,415]

Oh, FFS, please don’t do this you idiots!

USE THAT MONEY ON ENZO!!! 

This kid isn’t worth NEARLY this kind of silly money. Just let Arse have the guy!

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Well...this seems dumb!

[Costa19 858]

Oh god please dont buy him!! 

What the F is going on?! 100m?

Never seen this chap play but 100m for a player who at the age of 22 has 9 senior goals all career in one of he worst leagues in Europe must be the stupidest offer in the history of football.

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

No words. Disgusted with how we do business. Vivell and Stewart can fuck off for all I care. 

[DDA 9,691]

WHAT !!! HAHHAHA 

 

Oh I really am lost for words.

[Pizy 18,415]

If we are so desperate for a wide player that we can bid 100m for one, why not bid for Leão? Isn’t his contract running low? We really think Milan would turn down 100m?

Mudryk looks like a player who you’d be glad to have for £40-50m. But 100m!? Ridiculous.
