Slonina was still a buy from Cech and the old guard. That's why you don't rate him at all.

As @JacobSteinberg had reported last week too, James Trafford is one to look for, a man city academy product, who is also wanted by newcastle. No negotiation so far but interest is there. Ask from Burnley is 30mn pounds.

The market reopens on June 16, and that gives Chelsea more time to sign players for the knockout phase, should they get there. The window to register new players at the tournament runs from June 27 to July 3. It is one of the reasons Chelsea have not felt under pressure to get all of their business done by June 10. @TheAthleticFC

After checks: Chelsea last night remained at 15 million for Maignan but added bonuses to targets. Under these conditions the deal remains difficult even though the clubs are still in contact. It remains to be seen whether the Blues will submit a second offer in these minutes. @86_longo

Milan remain firm on its demands for Mike Maignan. But Chelsea are not giving up and hope to unblock the negotiation. @DiMarzio

Maignan update: Sources close to AC Milan now say they want more than £18m that Chelsea bid. Contacts will continue tomorrow morning. (@86_longo)

❗️🔵 Chelsea are still considering signing Hugo Ekitike this summer and negotiations ongoing with player's camp. 🔹A meeting took place between the two parties in recent days. 🔹Contact has therefore not been broken off, even though the deal has not progressed. ➡️ Frankfurt still asking €100m for the French striker. (Fabrice Hawkins)

Dortmund are keen on selling him because he doesn’t fit their new manager’s system at all. They mostly play a 3atb and Gittens is forced to play as a left attacking midfielder, forcing him to receive in the pockets, which doesn’t fit him at all. Jamie Gittens before Kovac took over. Incredible! If Kovac didn't come and eliminate his favourite position, we won't even get him for €70m.

Chelsea make official bid to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. No club-to-club agreement but talks ongoing + deal in place with England youth int’l; 7yr contract. 20yo BVB winger keen to join CFC (David Ornstein) Chelsea have submitted initial bid in excess of (£29.5m) €35m for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in the last hours.

Chelsea have made an official offer to sign Villarreal striker Karl Etta Eyong. The Blues offered the 21-year-old forward a five-year contract, until 2030, with a loan option in Strasbourg for next season to continue its progress. {Africa Foot}

Chelsea are now doing exactly the same as AC Milan did with us. They only offered us 9-10M for Pulisic and didn't want to pay more than 10-12M for RLC!!!! We gave them Giroud, Tomori, Pulisic & RLC for peanuts yet we're supposed to give them whatever they want (30m) for a keeper that turns 30 next month with a year left on his current deal...? How much would Milan offer us in the same situation, quite glad we're not just rolling over for them - Italian clubs been at it for years.

Chelsea are in talks for Jamie Gittens and they are PROGRESSING. A first bid is expected soon, more than £30m with a little bonus to try and reach an agreement with Dortmund. 🐝 (via@FabrizioRomano)

Chelsea are ready to put €25m on the table for Mike Maignan who is keen on the move to Stamford Bridge. (via@86_longo) Mike Maignan is open to a move to Chelsea following positive talks. Lack of Champions League football has presented a ‘market opportunity’ for Chelsea and could force Milan to sell for £20-25m plus add-ons. (via @JacobsBen)
