Chelsea face Real Madrid competition for AC Milan midfielder Suso.

The Sun says the Blues could miss out on Suso with Real Madrid entering the £35million race for the AC Milan man.

The Liverpool flop has rebuilt his reputation at the San Siro and now has a handful of Italian and English clubs watching his progress.

Only teams outside of Serie A can land the midfielder for £35m this summer and they will need to be quick as Milan want to tie him down to a new contract and double his buyout clause.

Madrid president Florentino Perez has personally sent a scout to check on the 24-year-old Spaniard.

Suso has never reached double figures in league goals, despite top flight action with Liverpool, AlmeriaGenoa and Milan.

But his playmaking skills have made him a coveted talent across Europe.
