Diego Simeone wants the Chelsea job – on this one condition
DIEGO SIMEONE reportedly wants to take the permanent job at Chelsea from next summer.
Abramovich will have to pay a £15million to release Simeone
The Argentinian manager is currently under contract at Atletico Madrid, but according to the Mirror he is looking for a new challenge.
And both sides appear to be keen on the move, as Simeone heads the shortlist of candidates to take over from interim manager Guus Hiddink after the current season is over.
However, reports claim that Simeone will only move to Stamford Bridge on the promise of a squad overhaul, with Chelsea target and current Atletico top-scorer Antoine Griezmann a top priority.
