CHELSEA TOLD TO COUGH UP £30M FOR PAOLO GUERRERO

CHELSEA have been told to cough up £30m if they want to sign Corinthians striker Paolo Guerrero next month.

The Blues have opened talks to sign the 28-year-old Peruvian, who scored the winner against them in the Club World Cup final.

But his Brazilian club insist he will not come cheap – with Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Fiorentina also in the running.

Guerrero only cost Corinthians £3m when he joined them from Hamburg in July after an unspectacular spell at Bayern Munich.

But his asking price has skyrocketed after he crowned a big season in Brazil with his heroics against Chelsea in Japan.

Chelsea’s first signing of the January window could be French goalkeeper Mickael Landreau, who is a free agent after leaving Lille earlier this month.

Landreau is a friend of Blues goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon and has been offered a six-month contract by the club.

French clubs Nancy, Evian and Bastia are also interested in the 33-year-old, who is close to breaking the all-time record for games played in the French League.
