🔵Chelsea have finished signing Isaac McGillvary, a 14-year-old attacking midfielder from Manchester City who is highly rated. The teen will play for Chelsea’s U-15 team next season after signing a six-year deal. The Blues think of him as a long-term investment in their already strong academy system. Reports have claimed that McGillvary, the son of former England rugby league player Jermaine McGillvary, is one of the best young midfielders in the UK. His play for England’s U-14 team and his progress at Manchester City caught the eye of top Premier League teams, but Chelsea moved quickly to sign him.

Roma have spoken to the agents of Tyrique George. George is giving priority to a move to Germany. (@FabrizioRomano)

Dortmund expect to sign Carney Chukwuemeka and are in advanced talks with Chelsea. (@JacobsBen)

Chelsea have dropped their asking price for Chukwuemeka significantly and there is movement between the clubs. (@berger_pj)

Now we know why these deals went through so quickly. Because the prices are relatively reasonable, especially at Ugo! Chelsea paid £23.5 million for Ugochukwu at the time, KDH's transfer fee was £30 million, and Broja's transfer fee £10M-£15M is pure profit.

Lesley Ugochuwku to Burnley is a “HERE WE GO” for fee over £20m. (@FabrizioRomano)

🔵🔴Crystal Palace's €32M bid for Yann Bisseck Rejected according to Tutto Mercato. Inter want closer to €40M, and Bisseck isn't sold on a Premier League switch just yet.

EXCL: Manchester City reach agreement in principle with Ruben Dias to sign new contract. 28yo centre-back’s existing terms scheduled to expire in June 2027; fresh deal secures long-term future of Portugal international as key MCFC player (David Ornstein)

RB Leipzig remain firm on their asking price for Xavi Simons; around €70m all-in, while still waiting for Chelsea’s first official offer. (@SkySportDE | @philipphinze24) I think the price is too high. He really wants to switch and only has two years left on his contract!

They simply want to pay too little. 😌

EXCLUSIVE: Everton submit official bid for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to join on permanent deal from Chelsea. Club to club talks underway, Chelsea open to this option with discussions ongoing on terms with EFC. (Fabrizio Romano)

🔵Ajax Amsterdam officially announces the transfer fee for Jorrel Hato to Chelsea FC as £38.3444 million.

@JacobsBen⁩: Darwin Nunez remains an option for Al-Hilal. Internal talks taking place over whether to approach Liverpool with key input from Simone Inzaghi first. Liverpool valuation informed by a €70m offer turned down in January from Al-Nassr. €70M for fucking floping Darwin Nunez😵😵

Marc Guiu’s flight was postponed today, but that doesn’t mean the deal is dead. The agreement is still in place, and there is an expectation that the striker will finalize his move to Sunderland on loan for the season. (@SkySports_Keith)

Personal terms are NOT an issue between Chelsea and Garnacho. [@FabrizioRomano]

Christopher Nkunku won’t be training tomorrow due to minor injury. Player and management have agreed to postpone his return. (@FabriceHawkins)

🍀I understand George wants to play regularly, and that's not possible at Chelsea in the foreseeable future. Gittens is there, Neto is there, Quenda is joining next summer. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen is there. Chelsea also wants to sign Garnacho, Palmer is there, Estevao is there, and Simons is also about to arrive. Where else does George want to play? Left wing is taken, right wing is taken, attacking midfield is taken, center forward is taken... In addition, top talents such as Paez, Mheuka, Walsh, Satpaev and Rabbaj have not even been mentioned in this list.

AC Milan are not convinced to go ahead with the operation of Strasbourg defender, Guéla Doué (22 RB/RCB). Strasbourg are demanding around €30million including bonuses and moreover relations with Chelsea are very cold. (@MatteMoretto) Maignan 🫡😌

@SachaTavolieri: Newcastle United has taken advantage on Manchester United for Benjamin Sesko! NUFC have increased the personal terms offer and received green light from Šeško to proceed on talks with RB Leipzig, now expected to deal around €90M deal on it.

The latest news is that #Inter is in contact with #Nkunku's agents: the Nerazzurri are starting to work on it. 🇫🇷⚫️🔵 (@MatteMoretto)

@Matt_Law_DT on Emegha to Chelsea: "I was told by someone who works around the Strasbourg end of things, that they believe that one day this guy could be a 50 million-plus striker, and again, I think maybe they're looking to do an early deal for him, to get him into a Chelsea player, is looking at that fair market value. Because if you do it now, you can probably do it around... I'm guessing here. I don't know that this is a figure, but say 25 million. If you do it another year down the line, you might be looking at a fair market value of around 40 million."

On the multi-club model: The Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership are understood to prefer a small but mutually beneficial connection - similar to the one between RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg - rather than a bigger model like the 12-club City Football Group, led by Man City. (@NizaarKinsella)

Garnacho has set his heart on Chelsea if [a move is] possible. (@Matt_Law_DT)

⏳️💥Multi-club Model: BlueCo continue to explore a stake in Sporting Club and also have spoken to an owner in Belgium and more interestingly, the Brazil 2nd division in recent months. On a side note, Todd Boehly is expected to be a part of a new MLS franchise in the next 3 years.
