Monaco right-back Vanderson is attracting strong interest from Chelsea ahead of upcoming transfer windows, while Manchester United and Tottenham are also among his admirers, CaughtOffside understands.
The talented 23-year-old has impressed in his time in Ligue 1 and it led to some speculation during the summer that he could be on the move, particularly as Monaco are often in the position of having to sell some of their best players.
Monaco ended up selling Youssouf Fofana to AC Milan, which perhaps eased their need to raise funds elsewhere, but it seems Vanderson’s future is still likely to be one to watch in the near future, sources with a close understanding of the situation told CaughtOffside.
Chelsea have had issues at right-back for some time now as Reece James has badly struggled to stay fit for a sustained period, though French youngster Malo Gusto has largely performed really well as the club’s first choice in that position.
Still, one imagines the Blues could benefit from another option in that position, especially as Vanderson looks like a huge talent who could have a big career ahead of him.
Vanderson transfer: Will he end up at Chelsea, Man Utd or Tottenham?
Monaco want around €35-40m to sell Vanderson, and while the strongest interest is currently understood to be coming from Chelsea, it’s not surprising to see that Man Utd and Spurs are also keen on the Brazilian.
The Red Devils brought in Noussair Mazraoui during the summer to give them extra depth in both full-back positions, but they could perhaps do with a better specialist on that right-hand side.
Vanderson would likely be an upgrade on Diogo Dalot, while he could also surely be an option worth considering for Tottenham, even if they have the excellent Pedro Porro as a top class option in their starting XI at the moment.
