💬Simon Phillips reports today that Chelsea are trying to sign this January (Guehi is Maresca's wish), Mainoo, (Tel - J.Shields wants him badly) (Delap again J.Shields wants him badly) and a new left-back.💶

According to @lequipe; Mathys Tel wants to STAY at Bayern Munich. As of yesterday, the player has not changed his position. He remains committed to Bayern and his decision is to stay despite all the enquiries. Freund on Mathys Tel: "Mathys Tel is a very important player for us, we are in very good contact because he's a great talent and should play an important role for us. We have had many discussions. Our clear goal is for Mathys to make his breakthrough with us. We are very happy with our squad, quality and quantity wise. Of course if a player is unhappy, we can talk about it. Our clear plan with Mathys is for him to make his breakthrough here"

Badiashile & Ugo😅

Chelsea’s sporting director Laurence Stewart wants Tel, he’s a long term target for him. (@lequipe)

EXCL | FC Bayern want to sign Christopher Nkunku immediately! ⚠️ Bayern have already reached a full verbal agreement with Nkunku on a top long-term contract. All terms are agreed. Nkunku wants to join Bayern right away. Regardless of Mathys Tel, Nkunku is Bayern’s top transfer target until Deadline Day on February 3rd. Max Eberl wants to sign him permanently, not just on loan. Including Tel in the deal with CFC is just an idea to make the transfer easier. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing. via@SkySportDE

My understanding is that for the right structure, Dorgu could be gettable for a package of €30m-€37m. (@JacobsBen) Axel Disasi would be open to a move back to Monaco but they would likely only offer half of what Chelsea paid. (@JacobsBen)

+ Hato or Dorgu✅️✍️

👀✍️Delap,Tel,J.Hato & Guehi

😍😍In ADDITION to Tel, Liam Delap is of genuine interest to Chelsea. (@SamiMokbel81_DM)

Tel would cost in excess of £40m. (@SamiMokbel81_DM)

👀 Christopher Nkunku has decided he WANTS to join Bayern [@Plettigoal, @kerry_hau]

👀Chelsea have offered Christopher Nkunku as part of a swap deal for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel (via @cfbayern/ @altobelli13)

😡Chelsea so far have leveraged Chalobah in a swap deal for Guehi. A lot of hardball as we have threat of recalling him. Palace value Chalobah at ~£20m & Guehi £60/65m, which Chelsea believe is far off. 💙Chelsea desperate to sell Disasi. 💰Chelsea have been offered Loic Bade at Sevilla, but no interest thus far. Acheampong seen as a long-term CB option. 💪Chelsea have scouted Wilfred Singo and Joel Ordonez. There will of course be other names. 🤔GKs are being looked at for the summer. Anatoliy Trubin is liked and has been for a while. 🧨Chelsea are 'not counting' on Mudryk for next season. 💶Bynoe-Gittens is liked a lot. Reports of interest in Yeremay Hernandez are true and Chelsea also really like Malick Fofana 😍💪Maresca wants to look at Kiano Dyer in the summer as someone who potentially integrates into the squad next season. I'm told Maresca really likes him. He’s been put on a strength and conditioning program to get him ready for next season. 👀✍️but we are looking at strikers. The report a month or so ago about interest in Stefanos Tzimas is true. Chelsea really like him. Told Liverpool also big fans and currently slightly ahead. 🙌Sesko, Delap and Samu other names told of interest. ✍️On a LB yes, I'm just trying to get further clarification, but I'm told to really look out for Jorrel Hato. via@FelixJohnston

🗣️ Alan Shearer: "Other than possibly Chelsea, I genuinely don’t think that anybody could afford to buy Alexander Isak; because of the way that the rules are structured with PSR, I don’t think that anybody could afford him."

Pat Nevin: “I would not be surprised if Chelsea made a huge bid for Alexander Isak this January if they get any sort of hint that he is available." 🙌🙌✍️

Latest update on our exclusive Renato Veiga (21/🇵🇹) news: Understand the valuation gap between BVB and Chelsea is not significant. CFC prefer a permanent transfer for the talented centre-back or a loan with an obligation to buy. The initial asking price is around €20m. ⚫️🟡 Dortmund, however, favor a loan with an option to buy. Veiga is keen on returning to Germany as he seeks more playing time. Securing a spot in Portugal’s 2026 World Cup squad is crucial for him. Chelsea already exploring alternative options for centre-backs. 🔵 @SkySportDE

Chelsea value Veiga at more than £20m and could look at signing a back up left back should he leave. (@Matt_Law_DT)

Chelsea are continuing to track Patrick Dorgu 🗣️ @FabrizioRomano

Chelsea are currently only opening the doors to Renato Veiga’s exit on a permanent deal. He’s pushing for new chapter to play centre back on regular basis. Borussia Dortmund agreed with Veiga; Chelsea also received approaches from top clubs in Italy, France and PL sides. (Fabrizio Romano)

🔵Glasner confirms “contractual issues” meant Trevoh Chalobah didn’t play today amid reports Chelsea want to cut short loan. “I know he wants and we want him [to stay]. But we still have 19 days so anything can happen. But I want him to stay and I know Marc [Guehi] wants to stay.” 🤔🤔

Chelsea would prefer a permanent sale for Renato Veiga if he were to leave! (@NizaarKinsella)

Chelsea are considering signing Yeremay Hernandez, but a loan of Strasbourg was mentioned in the negotiations. ~ @lequipe

🔵No point in keeping players like Veiga, KDH, Nkunku, Felix, Disasi, Chilwell, Carney, Casadei, Washington, George( needs a loan) all because Maresca doesn't trust them all or doesn't rate them at all!!! So he will continue to not make substitutions in games when the players are on the bench‼️‼️
