🔵🔴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.

⚪️🔴Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid are both interested in securing the signing of António Silva. (LuisCoelho51) The options for center backs are getting fewer and fewer. Chelsea needs to act fast!!! The alternatives for central defenders are becoming increasingly limited. Chelsea must act quickly. -Ilya Zabarnyi is joining PSG. -Joel Ordóñez is joining Marseille. -Tomás Araújo will not be coming after the drama surrounding Felix's transfer to Benfica Rui Costa!!! -Jarrad Branthwaite has just extended his contract until 2030. -Alessandro Bastoni unfortunately unlikely -António Silva will unfortunately not be coming either after the drama surrounding Felix's transfer to Benfica Rui Costa!!! These players are still available: -Piero Hincapié -Diomande -Marc Guehi -Castello Lukeba is constantly injured and extremely expensive. -Loïc Badé -Giorgio Scalvini had a bad injury and missed almost the entire season. -Zeno Debast -Yann Bisseck -Gonçalo Inácio -Bremer was also injured for almost the entire season.

Simons and Garnacho are SEPERATE topics. It’s not either, it’s both; Chelsea want both players, let’s see what happens, I’m not the one taking care of talks so let’s wait. Chelsea are working on BOTH DEALS. (@FabrizioRomano)

Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on Ilya Zabarnyi deal, here we go very soon! Positive contact with Bournemouth, small details to be clarified and then Zabarnyi will join PSG. Agreement done between Zabarnyi and PSG on 5 year deal since May, as @FabriceHawkins called. (Fabrizio Romano)

🔵Motor Lublin have rejected Strasbourg €8.5M offer for Bright Ede. Zbigniew Jakubas, owner of Motor Lublin, wants to break the Ekstraklasa record sale of €11M. ⚪️FC Nordsjælland have rejected Strasbourg total bid of €13million [€11m + €2m bonuses + resale clause] for Lucas Høgsberg. The Danish club wants more for their talented CB if they are going to agree to let him go. 😲Wow, it's amazing how Strasbourg is attracting top talent, or will continue to do so.

BREAKING: Marc Guiu to Sunderland on loan is a HERE WE GO (@FabrizioRomano)

✍️ Despite interest from several foreign clubs, Joël Ordoñez only wants to join OM The Ecuadorian has made it clear to his club that he wants an agreement to be reached with OM. (@Santi FM) 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Chelsea are still pushing to sign Alejandro Garnacho, who is keen on a move. Man United are wanting at least £40M. (via @alex_crook / @JacobsBen)
