Blues Forever

Lmao Lille want €81m for Osimhen.

Claiming we agreed to sign Ugurcan Cakir for €33m.

Milan almost certainly would sell Donnarumma in this window if he didn't extend.

From a wannabe ITK.

Not too bonkers compared to what PSG paid for Mbappe (€180m) after one good season with Monaco.

Chelsea have been handed a huge boost in their bid to sign Kai Havertz after it emerged the attacking midfielder will tell Bayer Leverkusen that he wants to move this summer. Havertz’s desire to leave Bayer this year puts Chelsea at the front of the queue of clubs to sign the 21-year-old, ahead of Real Madrid. Real need to raise the money to make an offer for Havertz, while Bayern Munich had been interested in signing the German international next summer following their deal to sign Leroy Sane from Manchester City. Chelsea may still face a battle over the fee with Leverkusen, with the German club wanting around £90million for Havertz and the Blues valuing him at closer to £70m. But his desire to leave in the forthcoming transfer window should strengthen Chelsea’s negotiating power. Chelsea will also be helped by the fact they took another big step towards qualifying for next season’s Champions League with a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace. That result, coupled with Leicester City’s draw against Arsenal, moved Chelsea up to third place in the Premier League table with four games remaining. Qualifying for the Champions League would boost head coach Frank Lampard’s transfer budget by around £50m. Leverkusen missed out on qualifying for Europe’s biggest competition. Having already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, Lampard will need to raise funds if he is to complete all the incoming business that he wants to this summer. Other than Havertz, Lampard has prioritised signing a new left-back. Ben Chilwell remains his top target, but Chelsea are aware that Leicester City will hold out for a fee in the region of £70m. Lampard and Chelsea will also decide whether or not to make a move for a central defender and a goalkeeper, but both situations are likely to depend on whether anybody leaves. Chelsea would most likely want to make space for a new defender by selling one of their current centre-backs, while the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga may well dictate whether or not Lampard can sign a new goalkeeper.

1. The best german talent in the recent years 2. Wanted by many big clubs around the world (Bayern, Barca, United, Liverpool, Madrid, Chelsea) 3. Has been consistently scored 15+ goals in the last 2 seasons

Havertz has handed in a transfer request to Leverkusen. Chelsea are one of the two clubs trying to sign the youngster and prepared to pay Leverkusen €100m asking price, but will negotiate breaking it up into installments. The other club interested is Real Madrid, Zidane is a big fan but unless they sell enough players they won't be able to afford Havertz this summer.

Agree, for 70m-80m you could get someone like Upamecano+Milenkovic instead only Rice.

None aside from Juventus.

Maybe Everton? i remember there was a report about their interest on him.

Paratici isn't that stupid lol.

Summary: Borussia Dortmund is negotiating from a comfortable situation, despite the effects from the corona crisis. And BVB is unwilling to move even an inch away from its ideas. A corona discount, managing director Watzke said last week, will not be given to Jadon Sancho, "not a euro". According to information from Ruhr Nachrichten, Borussia Dortmund has now deposited the framework conditions for a transfer with the only real interested party, the red devils. Manchester United are informed that Sancho may switch for a fixed amount of 120 million euros this summer. No other serious prospects for the 20-year-old shooting star have knocked on the door in Dortmund. Chelsea are out of the race after investing in Timo Werner, Liverpool are apparently more focused on strengthening the defensive midfield and have targeted Bayern's Thiago. And a return to Manchester City three years after saying goodbye with some noise, after Sancho unilaterally terminated his training contract, the almighty coach Pep Guardiola has already classified as not smart and advisable. The position of the player is still open towards Dortmund. Sancho's father is said to have been at the office in Dortmund in June. The club has so far received no signals that Jadon Sancho wants to leave BVB at any cost. Dortmund want it done before August 10th. If he even gets on the plane to Bad Ragaz, he's staying at Dortmund.

Chelsea are ready to step up their pursuit of Kai Havertz after the attacking midfielder plays for Bayer Leverkusen in Saturday’s German Cup final against Bayern Munich. But the possibility of head coach Frank Lampard trying to sign a new goalkeeper may rest on whether or not Chelsea are prepared to pay a percentage of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s wages to loan him out. Kepa was once again at fault in Chelsea’s costly 3-2 defeat by West Ham United and Lampard will seriously consider his options in the goalkeeping position at the end of the season. Chelsea have no chance of recouping anywhere near the £71.6 million they spent to make Kepa the world’s most expensive goalkeeper almost two years ago, which makes a loan the most realistic option for replacing him. There is interest from La Liga clubs in taking Kepa back to Spain for at least a season, but it is unlikely that any of those clubs would be willing or able to pay his £150,000-a-week wages. That means Chelsea would need to agree to pay a percentage of Kepa’s salary while he was out on loan to free up space for Lampard to sign a new goalkeeper during the next transfer window. While there does not seem to be an obvious candidate to replace Kepa at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have the perfect man in technical and performance advisor Petr Cech to find the right candidate. Cech has worked closely with Lampard and director Marina Granovskaia over the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, and it would be fair to assume that he would have a big say on any potential goalkeeper signing. Both Lampard and Cech know that winning teams need a top-level goalkeeper and, so far this season, Kepa has fallen short of that standard despite his talent. The substandard goalkeeping and defending at the London Stadium on Wednesday night will not, however, impact Chelsea’s desire to improve their attacking options further. Havertz remains near the top of the club’s wanted list and German sources believe Chelsea will make a bid for the 21-year-old once he has played in Saturday’s final. Chelsea’s chances of landing Havertz this summer were boosted by Leverkusen missing out on Champions League qualification, although they could still face competition for the player. Bayern are interested in setting up a deal to sign Havertz next summer, having already signed Leroy Sane from Manchester City this week, while Real Madrid are thought to have shown an interest. Chelsea, though, seem determined to fight hard for Havertz, who Leverkusen have valued at almost £90m. They will hope to negotiate a deal some way under that price. Other than a goalkeeper, Chelsea want a new left-back, with Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell still top of Lampard’s list of targets in that position.

Agree, seems almost carbon copy of Alonso except Telles is a bit faster and better crosser.
