Chelsea target Geoffrey Kondogbia's tight-lipped about his future
CHELSEA target Geoffrey Kondogbia is keeping his cards close to chest over a Premier League move this summer.
The Sevilla midfielder, who was previously a Manchester City target has also garnered interest from Real Madrid, following his series of eye-catching performances in La Liga last term.
Though having already seen Jesus Navas join the Citizens earlier this month, they would loathe to lose Kondogbia.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is on the lookout for a holding midfielder, a position the club is desperate to occupy what with Michael Essien's injury history.
Kondogbia revealed that he will shelve talks on his future until after the U20 World Cup finishes.
"I am flattered to be linked with Real Madrid," Kondogbia said.
"They are a top club, but Sevilla are fantastic for me at the moment.
"Chelsea are also a great team with a great manager, so let's wait and see what will happen after the World Cup."
Kondogbia was a never ever-present feature of the Sevilla side last term, racking up 31 appearances in La Liga.
