CHELSEA are ready to reignite their interest in
Micah Richards.
Jose Mourinho almost signed Manchester City’s teenage
England defender 16 months ago in an £18million deal before it was
vetoed by owner Roman Abramovich. But the Blues have watched the
unstable situation at Eastlands and believe now could be the time
to move.
Richards has signed a new £50,000-a-week five-year deal
but he has been unsettled by the impending departure of manager and
mentor Sven Goran Eriksson.
Richards, 19, was linked recently with Manchester
United and would cost at least £20m.
