Liverpool want to sign Rodrygo, reports @ESPNBrasil

🔵News from Matt Law - - Maresca’s expectation at the start of the season internally is to finish T4 and improve. - Colwill, Palmer, James and Caicedo considered the untouchables. - Chelsea aren’t forcing a Gk incoming, the fact they had a go at Maignan makes Matt think they’ll still look at opportunities. - Massive Fear amongst clubs about committing to Rodrygo. It could end up like Sterling at Chelsea if it goes wrong. - If Chelsea sign a winger, It will likely be Fofana or Garnacho as they were placed on a 3 man winger list with Gittens. - If Chelsea sign a winger, It will likely be Fofana or Garnacho as they were placed on a 3 man winger list with Gittens. - if Jackson goes Villa, keep an eye on Rogers. - Nkunku for Garnacho deal possible.

Malick Fofana would cost €30m. (@laprovence)

Chelsea have contacted City again this week about Nico O'Reilly and asked for a transfer!

👀Kind of funny that the already practically perfect transfer of James Trafford to Newcastle has been at a standstill for over 3 weeks...

Chelsea hold fresh talks for Jorrel Hato with Liverpool also interested.🇳🇱 - Ajax quoting £60m, but suitors hoping for closer to £40m. - Hato does not have a release clause.

🔵Chelsea will either sign M. Rogers or Garnacho and that's it for the forward and wing positions. Nobody will come in midfield either. Full concentration on Cucu backup. New goalkeeper and central defender! Chelsea will keep trying to sign the best young talent with a view to growing a squad that can ultimately become one of the best and most consistent in Europe, as per the vision set out by co-controlling owner Eghbali and sporting directors Winstanley and Stewart.
