This summer, Chelsea quietly strengthened their squad. It is reported that the new coach Mariska intends to spend £35 million (about HK$350 million) to bring in Fulham midfield star Anders Penrina. The 28-year-old Brazilian international was at the end of his tether with United. Currently, his price has risen and he has become a hot commodity in the transfer market.
Ganaka's midfield position is facing a change in Chelsea, while Ansel Fernandes is in the middle of a racial scandal, facing a heavy penalty and even being isolated by his teammates. Maliska believes that the team needs reinforcement in the midfield position, and Anders Penrina has already contacted the manager.
Anders Penrina was regarded as a "man-ball" at United in recent years, moving through CF Granada, Valencia, Lasso, and Framingo before officially leaving two years ago. He joined Fulham for a £10 million transfer fee and was quickly revitalized. Over the past two seasons, he has made 70 appearances for the Premier League, contributing seven goals and representing Brazil in this year's Copa America.
Monaco are interested in acquiring Anders Penrina but prefer to stay in the Premier League where he is familiar with. It is reported that Penrina and Fulham have reached a verbal agreement. The player must be released once the club is interested in acquiring him. Chelsea's chances do not seem to be underestimated.
