Chelsea youngster Domingos Quina is the subject of interest from Manchester United and Manchester City
The Portugal Under 17 international is highly rated by Chelsea but his path to the first team is congested
Chelsea signed Quina from Benfica as a 13-year-old and have high hopes for the Portuguese.
Stamford Bridge has not exactly been a happy hunting ground for youngsters during the Roman Abramovich era.
The club’s academy is stocked with talent but very few players have managed to break into the first team. Most Blues youngsters see multiple loan spells fail to grab the attention of those in charge and eventual leave to seek first team football elsewhere.
There are constant reports of young players at Chelsea who are frustrated with the lack of first-team opportunities and the club regularly have more than 30 players out on loan.
Only Ruben Loftus-Cheek has really progressed through from the Cobham academy in recent years, he signed a five-year deal at the end of February.
That congested pathway into the first team at Stamford Bridge will concern Quina, particularly with the club due to spend heavily again this summer.
And the Blues face losing their highly-rated youngster to a direct rival.
