Chelsea Transfers: 5 Signings That Could Catch United

1. Edinson Cavani

The Napoli marksman is Chelsea's No.1 transfer target this summer after enjoying another prolific season in Italy. The Uruguayan international netted 38 goals in 43 overall appearances for the Naples-based outfit and that haul has helped put him on the radar of a series of leading European clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. But it is the latter who lead the way and the Europa League winners are zeroing in on the South American. The Premier League outfit have however thus far refused to meet Napoli's £53 million release clause, though their current bid of £42 million remains the largest on the table so far. The Italians are holding out for the full value of their prized asset's release clause, though speculation that it expires next month could mean the Blues may still land the forward for a reduced fee. Do you think Chelsea can catch United next season? Who should Jose Mourinho sign this summer? Let us know in the comment section, below.
