Recent reports suggest that Chelsea are looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer as Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda are expected to leave the club during the transfer window.

The Telegraph have reported that the Blues are interested in an alternate joint bid for either Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi for around £58.5 million or Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain for £83.6 million, although the plans are in the early stages and no contact has been made with neither Napoli nor Real Madrid as yet.

A lot will also depend on whether or not Chelsea qualify for next season’s Champions League and who the next permanent manger of the club will be.

With Pep Guardiola looking likely to stay at Barcelona for at least another season, Jose Mourinho’s name is increasingly mooted for a return to Stamford Bridge especially now that Ronaldo has been linked with a move to the club.

Who do you think will be Chelsea’s next permanent manager and who do you think we’ll be signing in the summer?

    i have seen crazy things happen in football but with UEFA financial fairplay coming in and we not playing the Champions league…i think more realistic targets should be mooted for. people like Tiote, Cabaye, adam johnson, Dzeko can be brought in. may be luka Modric too. we dont need a total revamp but what we need is a new core, a new spine to Chelsea. Cech, JT, Essien, Lamps and Drogba have served this club with great honor and success but Lamps, Essien and Drogba need to be replaced this summer and JT in a year or two’s time. Tiote, Modric/Cabaye/Moutinho and Dzeko. on top of all this a winger of hazard’s quality will be amazing but with increasing danger of finishing outside the top 4… we need to pick up the pieces . People like Nasri, Adam Johnson, Marin or Munian can fit the bill. its time to become intelligent and sign accordingly, people who will help us immediately and will be around for 5, 6 years
