BREAKING: Chelsea and AC Milan are expected to finalise a deal for the transfer of Christopher Nkunku this Thursday! They are close to finding common ground for a transfer between £34 and £38 million, including bonuses. (@Tanziloic & @lequipe)

Nkunku details: Chelsea starting request to AC Milan was around £34.5m + add ons. Milan want to offer something around £25.8m + add ons. Very concrete negotiation ongoing. (@FabrizioRomano)

It's still being discussed whether an option to buy or an obligation to buy will be included in the loan deal. (@Plettigoal via @iMiaSanMia)

Chelsea are prepared to increase their offer for Fermin Lopez after Barcelona rejected their initial bid of €50million. Barcelona have set an asking price of €70million. (via @SPORT)

Nkunku has already said yes to Milan. Contacts are constant between Milan and Chelsea and are expected to go ahead tomorrow as well [@MatteMoretto]

€30 million is not enough for all the crap with the Maignan saga a few weeks ago!!!

It's time for Fermin Lopez

Tottenham are holding talks over a pre-transfer deadline bid to rival Chelsea for Xavi Simons. (@Matt_Law_DT)

AS Roma are getting closer to a deal for Chelsea winger Tyrique George. They believe a €21m-€22m offer would be enough, with Chelsea keeping at least a 30% sell-on clause in his contract. (Gazetta dello Sport)

When Chelsea enquired about Mainoo’s availability during the January window, CFC officials were quoted £70m. There is a belief United would now accept around £45m, potentially even less. [@TheAthleticFC]

AS Roma are willing to pay €20m to bring Tyrique George to Rome. (@SkySport)

Despite the efforts to sign Nicolas Jackson, Bayern have yet to completely write off the name of Christopher Nkunku Bayern's initial goal was to include an option to buy for any player they get on loan, but now the club would also be happy with a straight loan without an option One point is making things difficult for Max Eberl in the negotiations, as he has to explain to other clubs why Bayern had the money to sign Nick Woltemade for over €55m but would now only offer a loan deal to other players [@altobelli13, @cfbayern] ☠️💀

Newcastle United are preparing a new bid of around £55m for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, reports Simon Jones

According to @FCBRAC1, Fermin Lopez is considering Chelsea move because he was offered a starting position.

AS Roma had positive talks with Tyrique George’s camp in London today. George can join AS Roma on permanent deal with heavy sell-on clause, talks are underway. (@FabrizioRomano)

As always, the German media strangely claim that Chelsea paid €20 million plus €5 million for Carney. In the case of Gittens, they also said we paid over €65 million, but in the end it was €56 million plus €4 million! Borussia Dortmund will pay an initial £20m for Carney Chukwuemeka, with bonuses potentially allowing that fee to rise to £24m. (@theathletic) Chelsea’s sell on clause for Carney Chukwuemeka is 30%. Leaving Mudryk off this season’s Uefa list, Chelsea will free up a big chunk of budget. (@LloydCanfield, @JackRosser_ & @DanKing_1974)
