Valencia are prepared to sell former Chelsea target Yunus Musah for a minimal transfer fee this summer.

That is according to well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.

He claims on Twitter that Spanish club Valencia are willing to offload Yunus Musah in this transfer window for around €20million (£17million).

In addition, he says that Chelsea did make an offer for the 20-year-old back in the January window.

“Valencia are open to sell Yunus Musah this summer after they turned down all approaches last January, including a verbal bid from Chelsea,” Romano said.

“Understand €20m fee could be enough to sign USMNT midfielder.”

COPE claimed last week that Chelsea failed on January’s transfer deadline day with a €35million (£30million) bid for Musah.

Valencia were fighting the threat of relegation in La Liga during last season. Eventually, they ended up 16th and just two points above the drop zone.

Musah did play an important role for the Spanish club last season, making 37 appearances across all competitions.

The United States international is a very useful individual because of his versatility to play to play as a defensive midfielder, box-to-box central midfielder or even on the wing.

With his price tag significantly dropping this summer, should Chelsea be back in for him?

Musah is a player Chelsea should be considering at the very least in this window.

The ‘relentless’ midfielder definitely fits the profile of the kind of player signed under this current ownership.
