Koke's RC is 60m euros, and he said he wants to stay in Atletico.

Benatia considered by many as one of the top 5 CBs in the world. Ask a Seria A fan and he'll tell you. Anyway, Roma’s sporting director Sabatini said last night that Benatia is not for sale, and only a offer of 60m euros would make him think. Im happy City wont have him, with Kompany they would have been some pair.

United offer for Southampton was 27m pounds, thats 33m euros (and idk if the bid was accepted by them). Luis will cost at least 7m euros less. When you buy Luis (and not Shaw) you get a better LB for the next 2-3 seasons, which is a crucial period for our club when i assume we desperately want to win things.

Atletico Madrid is trying to keep Filipe Luis, but Chelsea is seriously considering paying his exit clause set at 26 million euro (Di Marzio)

"keep the same CMs and Tiago". I wrote quite clearly that not buying a top CM would be the horrible option.

I agree with all of this, and i trust them too if they still didnt fail, im just saying that i cant take this into consideration because it means so much. I saw some people on the forum consider this, i cant. I believe Jose wouldnt be so naive.

If Jose starts the season with a midfield of Ramires, Matic, Lampard, Tiago, Van Ginkel/Chalobah, which means he isnt getting a top CM, he should take a little break from football imo. For me it will say the guy lost his touch. Im one of his biggest fans but i would not defend him anyomre if after a full season with that squad he decides to keep the same CMs and Tiago. It will be a hugh disappointment. And i cant believe some fans accept this horrible option. A new top CM this summer is more than a must, and its also a hugh thing for the future of this new team.

Nobody left till now. I belive at least Koke and Miranda will stay.

I agree with the rest, but Witsel? he's surly a stylish CM but when i saw him he never really stood out in Zenit. Not that good imo. Koke is another question mark for me, not sure how good he is, but in 30m max it might be worth it.

Modric-Alonso-Di Maria works great together, so i dont think the Pogba rumor is true. DirectTV doesnt sound very reliable anyway...

Sounds like Daily Star. Fernando has a 15m release clause at Porto, and City offerd that.

El Confidencial and Cadena Cope are bad sources in Spain as far as i know. Saw a lot of crap rumors coming from both.

#Atletico Madrid CEO Angel Gil Marin: "Regarding Diego Costa, we have made a very aggressive approach for him to stay. Depends on him"

I really dont think so, you wrote the reason, almost impossible to stop such a strong shot from this range.

Seems like a bullshit source. He just said Falcao wants to move to Chelsea.

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly both keen on signing Mario Balotelli (Corriere della Sera) Yet another name... if Jose want Lukaku to leave i can believe he'll want him.

France Football: David Luiz's departure could open a door to Benatia. The Blues would think of an exchange with Romelu Lukaku. CFC are interested in Benatia. However In the last hours, privately Benatia informed some of his relatives that he favors Barcelona option. Between the two clubs, Chelsea and AS Roma, a relationship exists. Last summer, Demba Ba was assiduously courted by Rudi Garcia.

Juve want to be able to play 4-3-3 next season, so they need to buy wingers. According to Di Marzio and more sources in Italy Alexis Sanchez is someone they want, Cuardado is an option, Roberto Pereyra, Candreva. And they also want Adrien Rabiot who's a CM/CAM. To bring two wingers like them and maybe Rabiot too, they might need to sell Pogba/Vidal.

I understand the fans who are really depressed over this, i love Luiz too and he will be missed, but it wasnt surprising at all... didnt you expect this to happen since Cahill-Terry really established as the best CB pair? I mean it was obvious he wont be a starter next season (he wasnt a regular starter this season), and when PSG, Barcelona and Bayern were all after him the result was very obvious for me.

Filipe Luis is maybe 29 but he's by far the best LB we can get. Better than Shaw.

Well its your opinion. I dont think Luiz is a great CB, i never thought KDB is a very talented AM, so i agree we should have sold them with the money the other clubs offered. So i dont think its Mou's fault. He came to Chelsea to bulid a top team, why should he settle for less when he could do better with different tools? You shouldnt think only "right now", because the summer didnt even started yet, the club has a plan and we should judge the results in the end of the summer. Till now, when we sell Luiz for 40m i see a rotation player who shouldnt be a starter next season leaving for 40m. Thats good business.

I think Luiz showed enough times he's not a reliable CB like the best in the world. Marquinhos, who's 7 years younger, was a fantastic CB in Roma, thats why PSG got him for 30m, but they didnt gave him the chance to stay in the line up, they preferred to go with Alex who already used to play with Silva. Did Luiz ever was a fantastic defensive CB anywhere? not in Chelsea, i dont think he was in Benfica either, so i dont know how can you say he's more talented than Marquinhos. Luiz is the one who needs to prove himself as a great CB in the age of 27, Marquinhos has a lot of time and imo he's already better in the main aspects. Luiz would have been brilient in Barcelona, he's perfect for the position football and the attacking approach. I think he could be good in PSG because he playes with Silva, but Marquinhos could have been better.

The stupidity of PSG not showing only by the money they're going to spend on Luiz, its the fact they brought last summer a more talented CB in Marquinhos (at least in his defensive qualities), in 30m Euros. And they didnt even used him, they preferred Alex. Now he's probably going to Barcelona. So why did you purchased him in the first place?

Sell him and i might stop expecting big things from this club. Not happening.

So according to Di Marzio, we dont want Mario: 'Bayern Munich was strongly interested too: they were ready to offer Mandzukic plush cash. However, Chelsea has basically already closed the deal for Diego Costa, so they rejected Bayern’s proposal." (from his article about Luiz-PSG)
