Your morning Chelsea transfer round-up on Wednesday, December 14.
Chelsea eye 'next Sane'
According to the Mirror, Chelsea are keen to sign Benfica wonderkid Diego Moreira. The 18-year-old winger has recently become linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to continue signing some of the World's best young talent.
He sees his deal with the Portuguese giants expire in 18 months and they want the teenage sensation to pen an extension at the Estadio da Luz. The report states that Benfica are struggling to convince Moreira to commit his future and, therefore, may be left no choice but to cash in in the near future.
The starlet, who has been compared to Leroy Sane and former Manchester United star Nani, could be a shrewd acquisition if Todd Boehly can tap into his strong catalogue of contacts. Moreira shares the same agent as Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix - Jorge Mendes, who is said to have met with the American billionaire in the summer.

Skriniar considered
Milan Skriniar is out of contract at the end of the season and the defender has been engaged in negotiations to remain at Inter. However, he's been heavily linked with a switch to the Premier League for a while now, with Chelsea one of several clubs reportedly considering a move.
Writing for CaughtOffside, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano gave an update on the Slovakian. He said: "Despite what you may have read elsewhere, Milan Skriniar is not in negotiations to join Newcastle as of now.
"Chelsea were considering him last summer, PSG have always been leading the race, but Inter are still pushing to extend his contract. A new deal and the captain’s armband have been offered – it’s now up to Skriniar; he has to decide."
Ronaldo hint
Cristiano Ronaldo has posted a cryptic message to his Instagram story amid his hunt for a new club. The 37-year-old striker was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea ahead of the World Cup after he and Manchester United parted company
With a decision on his future yet to be made, Ronaldo has taken to social media. Igniting fresh speculation, he mysterious posted an image to his Instagram story which reads: "3 aspects of reality. Pain, uncertainty and constant work."
It's said that the Portuguese star has received offers from the Middle East and Australia but he’s holding out for a Champions League side. Ronaldo was reportedly earning around £500,000-per-week at Old Trafford but, as it stands, he'll have to heavily reduce his wage demands if he wants to stay in Europe.
