Diego Simeone

The Sunday Express report that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has opened talks with Diego Simeone as he expects to miss out on Guardiola.

The Russian is searching for a long-term successor to Jose Mourinho, who was sacked on Thursday, after appointing Guus Hiddink until the end of the season.

And it is claimed Chelsea have been in talks with Atletico Madrid boss Simeone for a month about taking over in the summer with the Argentine believed to be looking for a new challenge.

Hiddink has identified a lack of goals as a major problem for the struggling Premier League champions and is keen to address it when the transfer window reopens.

Benteke has struggled to adapt to Jurgen Klopp's style at Liverpool and while they will not sanction a loan move, they may be willing to sell in order to fund moves for other players.
