Exclusive: Chelsea see whopping £60m opening offer rejected by Juventus for Paul Pogba

Chelsea have seen their opening offer to sign Paul Pogba rejected

CHELSEA'S move for Juventus star Paul Pogba hotted up tonight as they had an opening £60million players plus cash bid rejected.

 

Chelsea, who News News Blog Sport revealed this morning were set to move for the French international superstar, offered £23m-rated Colombian star Juan Cuadrado plus cash.

The Italian giants have rejected the opening bid, but Chelsea are expected to make a second offer.

 

Chelsea have already signed Barcelona forward Pedro this week in a £21.4m deal and Augsberg defender Baba Rahman in another £21 move.

They are expected to make a fourth £40m offer for Everton defender John Stones - but a move for Pogba would be a spectacular coup.

 

Juventus have handed the 22 year old the coveted No10 shirt worn by Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane and do now want to sell - but Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is a big admirer.

Juventus want Cuadrado and also midfielder Oscar - but Chelsea at the moment are reluctant to sell the Brazilian.
