Crystal Palace are closely monitoring Carney Chukwuemeka's situation but may be put off should the asking price move much beyond the £20 million. (@NickPurewal)

Chelsea are set to pay Atlético Madrid €50m plus €10m in bonuses for João Félix. {AS}

Understand Chelsea have informed Napoli they still want at least €40m for Romelu Lukaku. Loan with €30m obligation set to be rejected. (Ben Jacobs)

EXCL: Chelsea are closing in on João Félix deal! Talks are at final stages to get it sealed soon. Verbal agreement almost done with Atlético, final details on structure being completed. TOTAL agreement with João on personal terms as he wants #CFC return. Almost there. (Fabrizio Romano)

Crystal Palace is willing to put £42.6m deal on the table for the services of Carney Chukwuemeka and Trevoh Chalobah (SUN)

Napoli wants to get Romelu Lukaku on their own terms. They have offered a loan with obgliation to buy. £4.2 million for the loan, then £21.3 million next year. Chelsea have not yet accepted these conditions. (@DiMarzio)

Maresca on Carney Chukwuemeka and his future: “Carney is a very good player but because of some injuries in the past… I think it's important he plays 30 or 35 games in a row”. “Is he going to play that for us? I'm not sure…”, says — via @BobbyVincentFL.

Enzo Maresca asked directly if he wants Raheem Sterling in his squad. "I want all 30 players but there is no space for all of them so some have to leave."

We won't get anything with Jackson as our main striker sorry!!!

Understand Sterling was informed on Friday he would not be playing against Manchester City. Enzo Maresca made the "technical" decision with full club support. (Ben Jacobs)

Maresca to SkySports: "The manager has to make some decisions. Sometimes players don't like it, that's normal. Just a technical decision, no more than that."

It will definitely be Madueke because he has a market this summer and would pour money into the coffers with profit, which cannot be said of Mudryk.

Raheem Sterling's representative indicated to Mail Sport that his omission from Sunday's Blues party that faces Manchester City was unexpected. (@SamiMokbel81_DM)

No Sterling,Chukwuemeka,Chilwell and Disasi in today's squad..🔥✅️ With the other players like Petrovic,Chalobah,Kepa,Lukaku,Casadei,Angelo,Datro Fofana,Broja and Washington you already know they can and will all leave.

Sterling not in the squad, wow. Statement of Maresca✅️💪🔥

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Brentford manager Thomas Frank: “Things are happening for Ivan Toney so we decided not to involve him in the squad”. “There’s interest, nothing closed yet but things are happening”, told Sky.

The final fee for João Félix won't be €60m, €65m, €70m as reported in Spain. The expectation is to be lower, probably something around €40m, maximum €45m, but I think it's going to be around €40m plus add-ons. This could be the structure of the deal. @FabrizioRomano

JUST IN: Chelsea are set to pay Atletico Madrid a fixed fee of €50m plus €5m in bonuses for João Félix. Negotiations have reached the final stretch. [🥇: @rubenuria]

The transfer fee #Chelsea received from Strasbourg for Diego Moreria's is considerably higher than the €2million first reported - the Blues actually received €8m.

✅️ next one Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys is set to compete a move to Burnley on an initial loan with an obligation to buy. He's set to sign a five-year deal and will be at Turf Moor today. Medical on Monday. Fabrizio Romano

Atletico Madrid has put a deadline of Wednesday next week to try and resolve the Conor Gallagher situation. Talks for Felix to Chelsea continue. Atleti want £42.6m plus add-ons. Chelsea have tried to get closer to a £38.3m all-in. (@JacobsBen)

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are very close to reaching an agreement for Joao Felix. (@MatteMoretto)

I’m hearing Chelsea will put add ons into the deal for Felix, and they will be directly linked to his performances. (@FabrizioRomano)

UPDATE: The agreement is now getting really close between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid for Felix and Gallagher. (@FabrizioRomano) 👀👀

I have a feeling that Ben Chilwell has been cut off the main team like Chalobah. Maresca doesn't want distraction. He said he trained with 22 players. I'm wondering what he did to the rest. 😂
