Chelsea are eyeing a cut-price move for Real Madrid defender Rafa Marin who could be available for a knockdown price in the summer.
The young centre-back has 18 months remaining on his current terms in the Spanish capital and is rumoured to be on the radar of some of Europe’s top clubs including Juventus and RB Leipzig.
According to a report from The Telegraph, it is claimed that the Blues are keeping tabs on the young defender following his impressive displays for Real Madrid Castilla which could earn him a big-ticket move elsewhere in the near future.
It is understood that should Real fail to convince the promising Spaniard to renew his terms and pen a new deal, the La Liga giants are likely to cash in on him come the summer window rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2024.
Graham Potter’s side have dipped into the market this month for a new defensive signing with the French international Benoit Badiashile walking through the doors at Stamford Bridge on a long-term contract.
