Chelsea Transfers

[mkh 236]

PAOK want to re-sign Baba Rahman but Chelsea need to cancel his contract as they did with Bakayoko. That takes negotiation and money.

Via Nizaar Kinsella

 

 

Valencia have set a €25m asking price for Giorgi Mamardashvili. (Relevo)

The 22-year-old has attracted plenty of interest, and Los Che expect him to depart this summer.

Chelsea Buy this Man

 

It's a pity Chelsea are not linked to M.Olise, who would have an exit clause of 37m and would be great for OM/RA.

Rio Ave F.C. in Portugal is now thought to be a candidate for Chelsea's next multi-club project. But it is dependent on their upcoming presidential election. #CFC (

We are going to replace him with hopefully with someone like Wirtz or Szoboszlai

Szoboszlai he has a RC of 70m euros but that needs to be activated by June 31.

I have lost hope we will be able to arrange any satellite club deal before start of next season…

It is reported that he currently prefers Arsenal move. Interestingly earlier, bookies made him favourite to join City, however now they have put Arsenal front of queue again...

Is that really all that surprising? 

He could be guaranteed starter for Arsenal, possibly captain sooner or later (they're more than happy to listen to offers for Partey and even Xhaka has a move to Bundesliga)  or he could be a rotation option with Pep and be there for the trophy collection.

Rudiger sealed his departure after Roman's days were numbered and the club was sanctioned. Same with Christenesen.

It was Marinas fault for letting it drag out, but the turmoil around the club nailed it.

Think you're forgetting that Christensen declined the 5 year offer from the club...

So is Strasbourg going to be our Vitesse basically? A place where we can send a bunch of our young players to get experience at a high level?

It remains to be seen just what sort of relationships may be developed over the long term but I would assume the multi club setup that looks to be created will operate in similar manners to the Red Bull group given that Boehly/Clearlake took a keen liking to that setup this time last year.

The easy thing to look at is farming players out on loan to these clubs but if done correctly, it should be far more than that. 

It's already been discussed in media pieces that the multi club model will operate with data sharing. This could be a massive positive for a club like Strasbourg, or Rio Ave in Portugal who have also been discussed. Being able to access data, whether it's scouting, medical, coaching, etc that is likely to be amongst the best funded in world football should help in the long term to find these clubs an edge and establish themselves further. 

Ultimately you want these clubs to kick on and becoming bigger and more competitive as this will allow themselves to attract better calibre of players, particularly younger players who need a platform at a competitive league to develop before what should be considered their 'big' move. Ultimately if it's anything like Red Bull, in this situation we should be first in queue for any of their best players at a reasonable, competitive price. Given French clubs are usually a good proving ground for young, African talent, and likewise Portuguese clubs with South American talent, the first two clubs we look like adding to this structure should in theory be solid additions which can hoover up a lot of young talent across two continents that are almost impossible for English clubs to buy directly from due to work permit regulations.

Pep doesn't go in for players at the standard of Rice for a laugh, there will be a clear plan for what he wants.

He will probably mould him into a centre back

no, he will be a MFer, probably that new Stones role

or he will spell Rodri

of some sort of double pivot
