Blues Forever

Or Sule just went here to spite the Bayern board. He is going to earn €10m/year at Dortmund, the same salary Bayern offered to him.

The new CBs should be fast and very good with the ball (not clumsy like Zouma).

Marc Overmars allegedly displayed stalking-like behavior towards a female employee of the club and sent her messages including dickpics. His career should be over after this scandal lol.

Yes, but ACL injury required min 1 years to fully recover. Just like what happened with CHO and Musonda.

Most likely Sule wants to give a middle finger to Bayern board. He is going to earn €10m/year at Dortmund, basically the same offer from Bayern.

You do realize Sule just returned from an ACL injury, so obviously he wasn't 100% fit yet during EURO.

You clearly haven't watched Sule yet.

Nice troll. 🤣

Should be targeting a left-footed CB.

RN also reporting this, basically as good as done.

Baffling move, can't believe Sule is willing to downgrade that much lol.

Maybe although that Brazil team was still far superior than Germany.

Not hard considering Germany only have 2 world class players in Kahn and Ballack at that time.

Very doubtful considering Lukaku isn't his typical striker.

Not happening under Marina, unless they have 1 year left in their contracts.

Can't afford to bench our most expensive player.

https://theathletic.com/3105033/2022/02/04/Chelsea-hopeful-over-rudiger-christensen-and-azpilicueta-but-more-big-contract-issues-lie-ahead/ Summary: Latest reports on Friday suggested Rudiger has rejected a contract offer approaching £200,000/week. Sources close to the player didn't deny it when asked by The Athletic and insisted there are still positive talks going on. There is optimism that a compromise will be reached, although it is believed Rudiger is now looking for wages around £225,000/week, which is more than he initially requested. A signing on bonus will be another part of the equation. Rudiger has received a proposal from Real Madrid but has rejected it. It's believed it was worth around £173,000/week. Real Madrid have other priorities and are happy with Alaba and Militao. PSG, Man United and Bayern are interested in Rudiger. The club remain hopeful the situation with Rudiger, Azpi and Christensen can be resolved. Negotiations are ongoing. The contract situation with the defenders could be a sign of difficult things to come. Kante and Jorginho will have just 12 months left on their contract in the summer. Both also already hit the 30-year-old mark and there's the club contract policy for players 30 years old and above. Mount, Kovacic and Pulisic will have only 24 months left at the end of the season. Clubs have been suffering financially due to COVID-19. The club recently reported a loss of £156m. Signing players for free or on the cheap has become even more desirable. Main factor in Azpi's situation is being caused by Barcelona being prepared to give him a three-year deal. The club are thought to have proposed one year with the option for another. But sources within the club remain confident he will stay. Some players earning big wages could lead/has led to others demanding a bigger salary in the contract negotiation. At £333m, the club's wage bill is already the second highest in the league. The club are understood to be not alarmed by the current predicament. They regard the situation with Rudiger, Christensen and Azpi as exception to the norm. They already have plans in place in case Rudiger, Christensen and/or Azpi go.
