Chelsea have been given a clear path to sign Atletico Madrid sensation Koke after Barcelona pulled out of the race.
The Blues have been monitoring midfield genius Koke for months and recent reports say a summer bid is set to go in.
Barca have eyeing up a deal for next January, when their transfer embargo is lifted, but claims now say they’ve pulled out – allowing Chelsea a free run to sign the player.
Atletico will try hard to hang on to Koke, but Chelsea would offer up to £44million to get the switch over the line.
