Chelsea ready to pay €30million for Barcelona defender Gerard Pique

According to the Daily Star, Chelsea will be willing to pay €30million for Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique

Jose Mourinho managed to convince Cesc Fabregas to come to Chelsea this summer and may try to repeat the trick with Pique.

The Portuguese coach knows that John Terry, the club's veteran defender, cannot play on forever and he may have to be replaced. 

The 33-year-old defender has, however, been in excellent form this season. 

Manchester United are also interested in the Catalan defender. 

The player has been selected by Luis Enrique a lot recently but has been far from his best. 

Another thing that may impede a transfer is that Barcelona cannot sign a replacement until 2016 because of the FIFA transfer ban.
