Speaking on Bein Sports, he said, “He wants to play for Chelsea. I hope he’ll be playing his football next season somewhere in the Premier League. I hope he comes.
“I know where we stopped with the contract. I know where we are. It’s an easy fix because we’ve done all the hard work last summer.

“It’s just easy to pick it up and ask if the deal is okay. I don’t specifically know where he’ll be playing next season, but we’ll wait and see.
“If the Chelsea deal doesn’t happen, Manchester United could well be in the frame, or Arsenal. If United don’t make European football, then he doesn’t go there.”
Chelsea still have the opportunity to conclude their season positively by securing a top-four finish in the Premier League and winning the UEFA Conference League.
