At this moment in time only Alfredo Pedulla is reporting it, probably milking Chelsea fans for a few final clicks before the transfer window closes.  He's reliable when it comes to Italian football but doubt he knows much about this deal.

Yeah lets knock him down before his debut

If he does well for us this season no way will Madrid sell now, the lack of a buy out clause is big indication that Perez wants him to stay. Reports in Spain have suggested that Madrid think he is the natural successor to Modric so basically its a win-win for them. Kovacic gets to play highly competitive football and by the time he returns next year Modric will be almost 34, perfect from a Madrid  point of view. 
It's positive for Chelsea as well, we are getting a quality player that probably makes our midfield trio the best in the league alongside City's. Also if he is a success and returns to Madrid next season at least the board know we have to replace him with a similar type of player, it's not ideal but definitely an upgrade on the likes of Baka, Drinkwater and Cesc. 

Give him a new contract, clubs are coming for him soon..

Look, obviously £60 million is big money for a largely inconsistent winger, but i'm not going to moan if we keep him. Sarri's a big fan and It'll be interesting to see how he fairs in an attacking team. I mean the large majority of his time playing for Chelsea and Brazil have been under pragmatic coaches, the likes of Scoalri, Dunga, Tite, Mourinho and Conte. Who would have Mertens and Insigne would be world beaters under Rafa? all i'm saying is i'm relaxed either way. 

I think he'll stay and sign a new deal. Like you say it's worth the risk. Right now it would put us in such a poor position should we sell him now. 
The style we're currently looking to play fits him perfectly and most of Hazard's frustrations we've seen or heard have been because of our negative hoofball tactics (especially in big games)

To be fair, the reason Hazard is being so vague about the future is because Real hasn't really made a real offer for him yet (only Barca did). If they came he would probably push for a move, but by openly courting Real "saying that he's available" he hopes the offer does come. 
Meanwhile he doesn't wanna burn his bridges with Chelsea, and leave the door open for a stay if the offer doesn't come. Wich im honestly not sure if it will even come. We know that Real are interested more in Mbappé and Neymar, not only because they're a bit younger. But because they easier to market and are both more prolific than Hazard. Real already has some players with the same profile as Hazard. Namely Isco, and Asensio. There are also big rumours that James is getting a second chance next season (Lopetegui rates him), so Hazard doesn't make any sense imo. Real are far more in need of a proper striker (and a prolofic goal-scorer). 
Also there's the fact that we aren't linked with any winger atm. Unlike with Courtois, where we are preparing a replacement already (Allison). I don't think Chelsea are willing to sell him now, and there will obviously be big talks first about next season with management and Sarri before they will even consider allowing him to leave to Real. 

If Sarri, Jorginho sign in the afternoon and England wins tonight what an awesome day for English Chelsea fans this would be.

Would there not have been some movement already if he was told a while ago he was staying? Surely we would've gotten one or two signings in by now. Otherwise, what in the actual fuck are we waiting for to enter the market?
The reason has to be because we're waiting for a new manager. I cannot fathom our board being dumb enough for it to be for any other reason. 

91 points. only 3 times in the history of serie A a team finished with more points. we would have won all the others
 
3 Napoli records of points in 3 years
 
higuain best scorer ever in serie a, 37 gols. at juventus, 40 gols in 2 years
 
please take Sarri , give him the team he deserve and win with him
 
i feel so bad for losing such a great manager, I feel worst than when we've lost Maradona

Apparently Chelsea have finished the Enrique deal, he wants too much and we are moving on. Leo Jardim is the next potential coach. I would be happy with Jardim, far happier with him than Enrique thats for sure.

Tbh i'd prefer a swap deal between Bale and Hazard rather then going for Isco/James. Bale is PL proven and a leader, just look at how many matches he won for Spurs and Wales. He relishes being the main man which is refreshing tbh.

HAHAHAHA

I can't believe what I have just read.

I miss Rmpr, he would've put his life, his family, his entire existence on the line betting that Oscar > Coutinho.

I have to say Courtois has surprised me, big time. His passing out of the back has been sublime, i'm actually shocked how quickly he has adapted to this style of play. Under Mourinho he seemed to have a panic attack every time he was asked to touch the ball with his feet, but now he seems so much calmer and his passing has been on point.

Fair play, Nemanja, fair play. 
Wanted him gone with the quickness in the summer, as I completely despised him as a footballer. Was hoping him along with Oscar would leave Chelsea by any means necessary.  
But he's reverted back to 2014 Matic. As the ultimate wildcard in CM doing the little things very well: recycling posession, picking out the right killer passes (5 assists on the season now?!?!), making just enough passes with opposite foot to keep things fluid, and timing his tackles very well. 
Long may it continue Matic. 
 

Undoubtedly his best* performance in a while.
But put that aside for a moment, his body language is looking completely different in the past 2-3 matches. He's finally looking up for it, eager to organize the defense in front of him, shouting at his defense when a shot comes at goal, properly celebrating our goals...etc.
Long may it continue. 

Says who? I would give my left reebok workout to have Van Nistlerooy in our team now. Beast of a striker.
