Barça, Real Madrid, and a Premier League giant fight for a gem of LaLiga

Dario Essugo has established himself as one of the revelations of LaLiga. The 19-year-old midfielder, whose contract belongs to Sporting CP, is shining in the ranks of Las Palmas, the club he joined on loan last summer, and his performance has put him on the radar of the two giants of Spain.

Both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have noted the Portuguese's name on their list of potential signings, considering him a more than interesting asset for their teams' midfield, although a tough rival has reportedly joined the race.

Chelsea joins the bidding for Essugo 

According to 'The Sun', Chelsea is also more than interested in acquiring the services of Essugo. The recent transfer markets for the 'blues' have been characterized by the incorporation of some of the most promising young talents in world football, and the promise from Odivelas is the new target for the Londoners.

The emergence of the team led by Enzo Maresca in the bidding for the midfielder poses a problem for Barça and Madrid, as the financial power of the Premier League represents a significant threat to both teams. From Stamford Bridge, they would be willing to pay his release clause of 45 million euros, making the signing of the player increasingly challenging for the Catalans and the Merengues.
