According to a report from Fichajes, they are preparing an offer of €50 million for the 23-year-old defender. It will be interesting to see if the German outfit are prepared to sanction is departure. They are hoping to sign Loic Bade, and the arrival of the Frenchman could facilitate the exit of the Ecuadorian.
Piero Hincapie would help Chelsea improve
