It was reported that Chelsea offered £20 million for Vieri, an offer which was flatly turned down down by Inter owner Massimo Moratti. Moratti then explained to Roman Abramovich that Vieri was not for sale at any price.
Does he not realise that Roman has £3.8billion?? But it would seem that he has his head screwed on, as anymore than £20million for a 30-year old player is madness! So that seems to be the end of that.
However, Patrick Kluivert remains a target. He is available for a paltry £1.25 million, although his wage demands are around £140,000 a week.
Chelsea are thought to be willing to offer up to £100,000 a week, which is about as much as Kluivert could possibly hope for considering the depressed state of the transfer market.
When you consider the strikers that Chelsea already possess, it seems strange that the club are willing to offer so much for players in a position that we are well covered in...
