🚨 #Chelsea have submitted an opening proposal worth €15m (£12.7m), including performance-related add-ons for Gremio attacking midfielder Gabriel Mec.

Slonina was still signed by Cech and Scott McLachlan at the time.

Chelsea have had a 'loan group' featuring also players who are available for sale who are training under Carlo Cudicini and Ed Brand. Not ideal for those involved but the standard of coaching remains high. via@nizaarkinsella

Transfer: Arsenal, Chelsea battle to sign Julian Alvarez from Man City Arsenal and Chelsea are in a two-way battle to sign Julian Alvarez from Manchester City. The Athletic reports that Alvarez wants to leave the Premier League champions in search of more playing time. The 24-year-old would also prefer to live in a warmer climate than Manchester. It is understood City would not stand in the striker’s way. However, they would demand a £60m transfer fee, plus a further £17m in add-ons. Atletico Madrid are interested in the player, but are unwilling to meet City’s asking price.

Chelsea were in negotiations for Hermansen, the prefered choice, but walked away over a £40m price tag. (@bolddk - Danish outlet)

looking at age 25+ signings since 2015 and perhaps shed some light on why Chelsea are not just walloping huge money on older players. ✅️ ❌️ 2015 Radamel Falcao - 29 - £6m Loan Fee - ❌️ Asmir Begovic - 28 - £10m - ❌️ Pedro - 28 - £23m - ✅️ Papy Djilibodji - 26 - £2.5m - ❌️ Alex Pato 26 - £5m Loan Fee - ❌️ Marco Amelia - 33- £0 2016 N'Golo Kanté - 25 - £30m - ✅️ Marcos Alonso - 25 - £20m - ✅️ David Luiz - 29 - £30m - ✅️ Eduardo - 33 - £0 2017 Danny Drinkwater - 27 - £32m - ❌️ Willy Caballero - 35 - £0 - ✅️ 2018 Jorginho - 26 - £49m - ✅️ Gonzalo Higuain - 31 - 6.5m Loan Fee - ❌️ Rob Green - 38 - £0m Davide Zappacosta - 25 - £21m - ❌️ 2019 Transfer Ban 2020 Hakim Ziyech - 27 - £35m - ❌️ Thiago Silva - 35 - £0 - ✅️ Ed Mendy - 28 - £18m - ✅️ 2021 Romelu Lukaku - 28 - £95m - ❌️ Saùl - 26 - £3.5m Loan Fee - ❌️ Marcus Bettinelli - 29 - £0 2022 Raheem Sterling - 27 - £49m - ❌️ Kalidou Koulibaly - 31 - £36m - ❌️ Denis Zakaria - 25 - £3m Loan Fee - ❌️ Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 33- £10m- ❌️ 2023 Christoper Nkunku - 25 - £52m Robert Sanchez - 25 - £20m - ❌️ Axel Disasi - 25 - £39m - ❌️ Perhaps most crucially, in every Clearlake window to date - every 'experienced' player has really disappointed. I think the fact the first window results have been so poor has definitely impacted the approach to investment, and also when you factor in the historic wage burden.

Chelsea have still not given up on Samu Omorodion, despite having multiple bids rejected (none exceeding €50 million + bonuses). Altetico don't want to sell and I could take €70 million to change their mind (via @JacobsBen) 🙉🤯

Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on João Neves deal! New, positive round of talks again today. PSG want to get it sealed next week. Details of package being discussed after €70m fee + players to include for Benfica, like Renato Sánches. Here we go, expected soon ⏳🇵🇹 Rui Costa made us suffer completely and exploited 121M for Enzo and PSG now get Neves for 70m plus sanches who is hardly worth anything!!!🤬🤬

Chelsea had been talked up to coax Oscar Bobb away from the Etihad as they did Cole Palmer last summer. {Manchester Evening News}

Chelsea are doubling down on their youth policy. They have taken the criticism on board but ultimately feel this approach will put them ahead of their rivals. The oldest player Chelsea have discussed for striker is Jonathan David, 24 years old. Chelsea are sticking to their policy no matter what anyone says. (@NizaarKinsella)

Chelsea want a resolution in the next few days on Jorgensen. Lunin agents have been contacted, but Hermansson and Jorgensen are ahead of him. (@JorgeCPicon @MatteMoretto)

There is a possibility that Petrovic could leave this summer. The idea is that Chelsea want to bring a new goalkeeper, who is good at distribution to compete with Sanchez. via@FabrizioRomano 😒🤢 Ben Roberts Out Excl. - Samu #Omorodion is still #Chelsea’s main target as new striker. #CFC are ready to submit a new bid to #AtleticoMadrid to try to sign the young player (born in 2004). Ready a contract until 2031 for Omorodion, who has given his avaibility to join #Blues. via@nicoschira
