Jose Mourinho accepts Chelsea interest in Anthony Martial but gives one condition for Blues to complete forward signing

Chelsea are reportedly keen on bringing in another forward next summer after their failures in front of goal this season, and Manchester United’s Anthony Martial has emerged as one of the favorites.

Martial is on Chelsea’s radar among other options, and a report by Steve Bates from the Mirror says Chelsea are going to be told by Mourinho to offer Willian plus money for Martial.

The Mirror report suggests Mourinho is a big fan of Willian and his style of attacking, which makes him the number one option for Mourinho when acquiring more wingers for his side. Willian is dangerous with both feet and can play across the positions behind the striker, as well as having the energy to combine defending and attacking without fuss.

But if Chelsea really want Martial after Mourinho gave thumbs up for his sale, the Blues will have to cough up to £80m plus the Brazilian, according to the Guardian.

Manchester United have been involved in transfer business with Chelsea in the last few seasons, signing Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic from Stamford Bridge. They have also been involved in a recent swap deal with Arsenal when in January, Alexis Sanchez arrived for Henrikh Mkhytaryan who moved to the Emirates.
