The 20-year-old central midfielder has already made 60 senior appearances for Palmeiras in his short career. The Brazilian has also been called up to the national team but is yet to make his debut.
The report suggests that Menino is already a Chelsea player, with both clubs agreeing to a deal worth 13m for the highly-touted midfielder.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, however, has questioned the authenticity of the report. Romano claims that although the player has been scouted by the Blues, Chelsea are yet to make a substantial offer for the Brazilian.
Important to deal with our first loss together: Thomas Tuchel on Chelsea’s shock defeat to West Brom
Chelsea suffered their first loss under manager Thoman Tuchel in a shock 5-2 defeat at home to West Bromwich Albion. The defeat left the Blues uncertain about their place in this season’s top four, with a Champions League tie against also a huge concern.
Following the loss at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel reflected on the game and called for togetherness in the dressing room.
The German manager defended his team selection following the result, claiming that the team was “rusty” and “sloppy” on Saturday.
The Chelsea manager also admitted that there were too many defensive mistakes and that there was no excuse for conceding five goals.
Thomas Tuchel will have a lot on his plate now as Chelsea prepare for the business end of the season. The Blues are in Champions League quarterfinal action against Porto over the next few weeks, following which they take on Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
