Chelsea’s pursuit of Brazilian starlet Nathan from Atlético Paranaense looked done and dusted last week when he travelled to London for a medical, however reports in Brazil suggest the deal has hit a snag after FC Porto put in a higher bid for the 19-year-old.

Atlético are keen to take the better value from Porto’s offer, however Chelsea have a contract signed by Nathan which they could send to the Brazilian justice department in order to force the deal through.

However, according to Gazeta do Povo, they are reluctant to resort to this measure, possibly because of the danger of Atlético reporting them to FIFA for tapping up Nathan, an offence similar to that for which Barcelona were handed a transfer embargo.
