Kondogbia race hots up

Geoffrey Kondogbia might be a name you will be reading a lot about in this summers transfer news and that is not just because he sounds like an imprisoned version of Didier Drogba. Kondogbia has excelled this season with Sevilla and that together with the clubs financial woe means the most elite of European vultures are ready to pounce, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea being the apparent interested English parties according to ESPN.

It might however not be as straight forward of a steal as things would seem with that most muddy of factors third party ownership likely to play a part in any deal. Kondogbia is part owned by a third party investment fund who actually financed his move to Spain last summer meaning that negotiations here could become messier than a six year olds bedroom.

That said it doesn't seem to have put off anyone which just outlines how highly rated the France under 21 international is rated accross the continent. Real Madrid will fancy their chances of sweet talking a move and if reports are to believed they have already started on their charm offensive by flying the players father in to the city to begin preliminary talks.
