Since the Brazilian’s arrival two seasons ago, he has gone onto make 69 appearances for Los Blancos, scoring eight and assisting a further 16 in all competitions.

However, according to a report by Daily Mail, the young winger could be a summer transfer target for Frank Lampard’s Blues.

Junior has a quite incredible release clause of a whopping £630m, however, the Daily Mail believe that the release clause should not factor in any potential sale should Chelsea make a realistic offer.

Chelsea are believed to be looking to add to their attacking options now fellow Brazilian Willian has officially departed the club.

With former Ajax wide-man Hakim Ziyech already signed earlier this summer, the Blues’ front-line could look even deadlier should they go out and make a statement signing such as Junior from Read Madrid.
