The price that Chelsea will have to pay to land Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been revealed by the Daily Mail.
Chelsea having a transfer ban in place has not prevented this country’s tabloids from linking us with players from all over the world.
As the Daily Mail report, 21-year-old Athletico Paranaense midfielder Bruno has been the latest to be linked with a move to the Bridge.
If the club opt against purchasing Mateo Kovacic on a permanent basis, the search for midfield reinforcements may well be taken up a notch.
Whether Bruno is a legitimate target for Marina Granovskaia and Maurizio Sarri remains to be seen, but if he is, he won’t come cheap.

The Daily Mail write that Bruno’s release clause stands at £34.5M, which is a pretty hefty sum for a player unproven at the top level.
Sometimes you have to take these risks, though. Gabriel Jesus’ acquisition has proven to be a masterstroke from Manchester City.
Bruno could be our attempt at replicating that.
