Benfica talent Diego Moreira is set to join Chelsea on a free transfer this summer, according to a story in the Daily Mail last night.
The 18 year old’s contract is up and he will have his pick of teams to join. They report that PSG and AC Milan were also interested in picking up the young winger, but the Blues have beaten them to it.
He made his senior debut for the Eagles back in May last year, and could get further minute once they wrap up the league this time around.
Jorge Mendes is clearly building a nice relationship with Todd Boehly, and this smells very much like a move cooked up by the pair of them.
Moreira is considered a top Portuguese prospect and won the UEFA Youth League with Benfica a year ago. He will join a number of European talents signed by the transfer team at Chelsea in the last year.
