Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is interested in signing Alex Song this summer, with Barcelona demanding €10 million for the Cameroon international.
This is according to Spanish newspaper Sport, who understand Mourinho is considering signing Song as a back-up option for Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas, a former teammate of the midfielder currently on loan at West Ham.
The Hammers have reportedly decided against signing Song on a permanent transfer at the end of the season, but the player is keen to stay in London beyond this summer after ruling out a return to the Camp Nou - and Chelsea would surely be an attractive option
. ONG'S FORM HAS DIPPED IN RECENT WEEKS
Song, who rose to fame with Arsenal before securing a dream move to Barcelona in 2012, struggled to cement his status as a first-team regular at the Camp Nou and was subsequently granted permission to leave the club on loan by Luis Enrique last summer.
The former Gunners’ star impressed in the opening months of the season at Upton Park, but his performances have taken a nose-dive over recent weeks, prompting West Ham to pull the plug on a permanent move.
