Saul Niguez

Chelsea have agreed terms on a season-long loan deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, 90min understands, with just a clause over any future permanent transfer left to iron out.

The Blues have moved ahead of Manchester United in the pursuit of the 26-year-old, who has been flattered by Chelsea’s determination to bring him in before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.

Saul has been told he can leave Wanda Metropolitano – with the Rojiblancos also allowing him to leave to the Premier League.

The two parties remain locked in talks over whether there will be an option or obligation to buy the Spain international at the end of that spell.

Atletico want to include an obligation to buy for around £40m. However, at this stage it is more likely the west Londoners will get their way in securing an option instead of obligation.
