Chelsea close in on Fluminense full-back Wallace – Barclays Premier League news
The 16-year-old Fluminense full-back, Starlet Wallace, is all set to leave for the English club Chelsea FC by pursuing a departure from his current club. Wallace has admitted that he is ready to make a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in spite of the fact that he is yet
to appear for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152, who preferred a move to Manchester United rather than waiting for their senior-team debut.
Sources have confirmed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Deco-c10735 to Fluminese.
When Fluminese president, Peter Siemsen, was asked about Chelsea retaining the ownership rights of Wallace, he confirmed the news by saying, “He still plays for Fluminese and to get him out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858, Chelsea would have to pay the amount of the penalty clause
remaining. Chelsea only have a stake in him.”
The flamboyant teenager’s excellent performances for the Brazilian under-17 side have impressed Chelsea to seal a permanent deal for the defender, and they are expected to lure him at the start of next English Premier League season.
The uprising force, Wallace, has refused to reveal any breakthrough news regarding the transfer. He insisted that nothing special has been agreed upon yet, “I feel ready for this challenge since I started playing football. I have not talked with the coaches
yet, but the expectation exists. Let's see how it goes.”
Despite the Fluminense President’s Confession to Chelsea having stakes in Wallace, he desperately wants the defender to prolong his stay in Brazil. However, he refused to compare the situation to that of the Manchester United twins.
“They were negotiated for and a deadline was there for them to move by the time they were 18. That was then, not now - we want the player to stay, and depending on our coach, rise to the professional ranks here by 2012.”
Chelsea, who provided Fluminense a sort of bargaining chip when they sold Deco, would expect the same favourable intent from the Brazilian club. Wholesale changes are expected to take place at Stamford Bridge ahead of the next season, which includes the
axing of current manager, Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian tactician has failed to win silverware this season, meaning his job his far from secure at the moment.
