Chelsea could face Real Madrid in the Club World Cup this summer, with both European giants qualifying for the competition.
The Blues could also find themselves going toe-to-toe with Los Blancos in the transfer window as they look to bring one talented youngster to Stamford Bridge.
It promises to be a busy summer for Chelsea, who could make a couple of signings before they even head off to the Club World Cup.
It is thought that Chelsea want Dean Huijsen in before they jet off to the US for the tournament, for example.
Franco Mastantuono waiting for Real Madrid
As well as Huijsen, Chelsea also want to sign £38m-rated Franco Mastantuono, though they could end up missing out on the River Plate youngster to Real Madrid.
According to journalist German Garcia Grova, Mastantuono is waiting for the Spanish club in a major blow to the Blues.
Whoever gets their hands on Mastantuono will be landing one of the stars of the future, with the 17-year-old attacker showing amazing potential right now.
While Chelsea could miss out on Mastantuono, they will at least get to welcome Estevao Willian to the club this summer.
The winger turned 18 last month, meaning that he is now allowed to leave Brazil for England. Estevao has made history in Brazilian football, and Chelsea fans will now be hoping that he can do the same in the Premier League.
Why Franco Mastantuono is being compared to Lionel Messi
Mastantuono is only 17 years of age, but comparisons between him and Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi are already being made.
Mastantuono has been likened to Messi following his terrific free-kick in River Plate’s recent 2-1 win against fierce rivals Boca Juniors.
Hitting the ball beautifully with his left foot and hailing from Argentina as well, the comparison was quickly made.
It is no wonder that Chelsea are interested in Mastantuono, though they may be forced to watch him join Real Madrid instead.
