Blues Forever

Barcelona will likely announce Ousmane Dembele's contract extension next week. Dembele is set to sign with a lower salary, giving the club some room to register new players.

Barcelona could go for De Ligt in January if they manage to sell both Coutinho and Umtiti.

Summary: -Rudiger is very upset with Chelsea, he would like £180k - £200k a week to stay but Chelsea have only offered him £140k and told him they won't go any higher. -Christensen has changed his representatives in the last 24 hours which could mean a new contract is imminent, or a transfer is taking place. -Azpilicueta wants more than one year contract extension at Chelsea and to be playing regular football ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Ferran Torres to Barcelona is 99% done. Ferran Torres to Barcelona is about to be completed, and an agreement is practically closed with City. The deal is now only a matter of days away.

Been impressed with Vlahovic, i really like his guts, energy and determination.

Summary: -Billy Gilmour cannot be recalled as he has played a number of games to ensure the break clause in his loan deal cannot be triggered. -Attila Szalai isn't a target. -The chance of signing a new left back depends on Ben Chilwell's fitness. Chelsea might look at options if Chilwell needs surgery. -Tchouameni is on Chelsea's list but might happen only in the summer. Real Madrid are interested too. -Kounde has been scouted since 2019, but the fee remains a hurdle and a transfer is only possible in the summer. -Chelsea's interest in Fofana is true but they will only make decisions only after he recovers from his injury. -De Ligt might not be a genuine target as his wages are significantly higher than what Rudiger and Christensen are asking for. -Tuchel will assess Levi Colwill during next year's pre-season. -Rice might not happen anytime soon as he's contracted to West Ham till 2024(with an option to extend it by another 12 months) and West Ham won't budge on their £100m asking price. -Chelsea don't have a buy-back clause on Marc Guehi and Fikayo Tomori. -Chelsea were interested in Sule last summer but he was only a backup option to Kounde.

Negotiations between Sevilla and Manchester United are progressing well for the loan of Martial. Sevilla are the most advanced club as of today and Martial is open to the idea of leaving for Spain.

Niklas Sule's future remains open. An extension is still possible if Bayern meet his wage demands. Nagelsmann appreciates the player and vice versa. However Sule is a fan of the Premier League and his status as free agent makes him interesting for other clubs.

Real Madrid will listen to offers for Eden Hazard in 2022. The player doesn’t consider the possibility of leaving in Jan but will re-evaluate his situation in the summer. His wages of €13m could be an issue.

Manchester United is really interested on Julian Alvarez from River Plate, they might speed up the negotiations.
