Tuchel Tuchel has reached out to the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich for sanctioning a big-money move for Bayer Leverkusen starlet Florian Wirtz.
The 18-year-old has been backed as a talent to watch out for on the back of his explosive run of form in the Bundesliga with the youngster already cementing his berth on the team sheet in the colours of Leverkusen.
Reports from Spanish news outlet El Nacional have claimed that the Blues gaffer Tuchel has asked Roman Abramovich to splash the cash on securing Wirtz’s signature and bring him to the English capital in the forthcoming transfer windows.
The teenage sensation will not come cheap for the Champions League holders who could be in line to fork out a fee in the region of £85 million to land him from Bayer Leverkusen.
Chelsea have spent big in recent windows with this summer’s marquee acquisition coming in the form of Belgian talisman Romelu Lukaku who returned to Stamford Bridge in a mega-money move from Inter Milan.
