Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich is prepared to offer £42 million for Atletico Madrid ace Sergio Aguero.
The Sun Abramovich wants to give new boss
Carlo Ancelotti a big-name
signing.
Yet they face a race to seal the deal for the Argentine striker
as the Spaniards play a Champions League qualifier against
Panathinaikos on Wednesday.
Atletico are likely to turn down the offer and tell
Chelsea they must match the £50m
get-out clause for hot-shot Aguero, 21.
Chelsea's offer would eclipse
Manchester City's £32.5m signing
of Robinho as the British
record.
Ancelotti said: "The market finishes on August 31 and if there
is some possibility to improve the squad we can do it."
