Baba has not snubbed Chelsea, says Augsburg defender's agent

Published Jun. 29, 2015 3:41 a.m. ET

Abdul Rahman Baba's agent has dismissed speculation the Augsburg left-back has already turned down a move to Chelsea.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Roma are among the clubs to have been linked with Baba so far this summer, but it was reported last week that the 20-year-old had rejected an approach from Jose Mourinho's side as he feared he would not be a first-team regular.

However, Baba's agent Sascha Empacher said: "No, that's not true. It is the classic example of bad investigative journalism.

"Many big European clubs are interested in Baba, but they do not want to be named. Do Augsburg want 18-20m euros ($20-22m)? Yes, that is correct.

"There is a lot of competition for the player. If a side is interested, then they have to make an offer to the club."
