Certain footballers are destined to go their whole career with their name firmly attached to the transfer rumour carousel, making more appearances in the gossip pages than they ever will for their clubs or countries.
While William Carvalho, Nicolas Gaitan, Julian Draxler and Leandro Damiao are among the top appearance-makers for Gossip Column FC, Porto's Jesus Corona is also a valued squad member.
The Mexico international has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs over the years - including Man Utd, Everton, West Ham and Wolves - without ever actually making the switch.
However, the most recurrent rumour suggests it is now Chelsea who are in the hottest pursuit of the now 28-year-old winger. The potential move was first reported back in 2020 and has resurfaced this week, but all things considered this is probably one you should take with a large pinch of salt.
Nicknamed Tecatito, the winger has a £21.4m release clause in his contract, but this is only active until June 2021. From June onwards, Chelsea or any other interested party would be required to cough up £34m to secure his services.
The first thing to address is that there has been contact between the west London club and Corona's representatives - according to his agent and hype man, the man responsible for drumming up interest and rival bids for his client, Matias Bunge.
