    Scolari Wants Schweinsteiger At The Bridge

    [​IMG]

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Schweinsteiger, who along with Germany team-mate and Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack was one of the stars of Euro 2008, has been targeted by Italian giants Juventus, with Serie A champions Inter Milan also entering the race this week.

    Now the Daily Star is reporting that new Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari wants German powerhouse Schweinsteiger in the Blues midfield.

    The newspaper goes on to claim that Chelsea, for whose owner Roman Abramovich money is not normally an issue in the transfer market, are preparing a £10 million bid for the player.

    The Star also reckons that Premier League and Champions League winners Manchester United could enter the race for Schweinsteiger, 23, if Cristiano Ronaldo insists on leaving for Real Madrid.

    It is understood that Schweinsteiger particularly impressed Scolari when the latter was still in charge of Portugal, and his team met Germany in a Euro 2008 quarter-final. The Germans, inspired by the Bayern Munich man, who set up two goals and scored one, knocked Portugal out 3-2.

    Schweinsteiger also said recently: "England does have a good appeal, as it is one of the world’s best leagues.

    “I’ve always wanted to play there and we’ll see if it happens this year.”</div>

    Chelsea have always lacked pace apart from both the Coles, and Wright-Phillips.

    Yep, they aren't helping by selling Wright-Phillips to Pompey though. They should of kept Arjen Robben too.

    I'm not sure who they could buy.
