We are leading the race for Toney apparently..  could get it done in Jan.

I'll be happy with that

We have option to extend his contract for one more year

the only time I ever saw it even hinted at was here:

 

10 Mar 2020

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/ian-maatsen-agrees-new-Chelsea-contract

 

never (that I have seen) confirmed that there was one or if there was, that it is still in effect, and also there a lot of articles saying he can leave on a free in the summer

Yeah Toney looking like it needs to happen, and we have free shot at him unless Arsenal come to their senses.

£70m is too much IMHO

We will only get one full sub 30yo season out of him, and he is not a Benz or Lewa type who is going to be WC until 35yo or so IMHO

[Vesper 30,153]

Real Madrid can go fuck themselves if this is true (I have my doubts, they are not that stupid)

£34.4m for Reece???? LOLOL

that is less than we got for LEWIS HALL

 

Real Madrid ready to offer €40 million for Chelsea’s homegrown talent next summer

https://madriduniversal.com/real-madrid-ready-to-offer-e40-million-for-chelseas-homegrown-talent-next-summer/

The new generation has well and truly taken over at Real Madrid. Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eder Militao all represent the core of the team for the long haul, leaving very few spots for the veteran stars.

One department that continues to be under the care of the old guard is right-back. Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez continue to be Carlo Ancelotti’s only options in the department, but Real Madrid are actively looking for a new younger name.

Objective Reece James

According to SPORT, Real Madrid have locked in on Chelsea’s Reece James as their next right-back and will not give up on his pursuit.

The men in white plan to activate the mission to sign him next summer, although it will be far from easy.

James has been at Chelsea for his entire career and has racked up 11 goals and 20 assists in that duration. He is currently valued at €65 million on the transfer market, but Real Madrid will not exceed the €40 million barrier for him next June.

His signing is most complicated by the fact that his contract with Chelsea runs until 2028, giving Los Blancos little space to negotiate the transfer fee.

Chelsea are under pressure to sell

Not all is bleak for Florentino Perez in pursuit of his latest target.

Chelsea are under strict scrutiny after their recent splurges on the transfer market and are under pressure to sell players.

The story will be no different next summer. Considering that James is one of the club’s most saleable assets, a departure for the Englishman may not be seen with bad eyes.

However, it is unlikely that Chelsea would consider letting their captain leave very easily, and it will likely take an offer more than the €40 million proposal being lined up.

I don't think the Ivan Toney rumours are true tbh, it seems clear that we have an U25 policy. I imagine if we make any signings for over 25s it will be where there are favourable release clauses or free agents.

[whats happening 1,615]

the signings will depend on our panic level in december imo

[Vegetable 830]

How potential sales of those freshly acquired players on long contracts would affect our FFP?

I remember the post saying our owners were pretty much replacing Dodger's players all the time, but it's hard for me to think that we will see much transfer activity in a few coming windows as it's hard to pull this off in football. They just "paid the fines" there, but here fines are not just financial, but transfer and cup bans, so that's way more serious and let's be clear, if we will be fined, it will be the upper bracket of fines possible, because Chelsea.

I could understand two or three players on unusally long contracts, but since we are stuck with all the players on 5+ years contracts, it means club must be even more clinical with those moves and they must turn out good. Is it even realistic by any means? Well, don't ask me… 

Perhaps Cucu and Silva and maybe Chalobah are on their way out, but either it's Toney, Oshimen or Brighton's 9th choice striker, it would be an addition to already bloated squad unless we are letting Broja go, and perfectly repeating the catastrophe of previous season with dozen of players for each spot. I don't see Mudryk or Noni going out in next two windows, not even mentioning what if, knock wood, Caicedo will not really take off…

[TheHulk 2,432]

This shit still makes me angry, can't believe we failed to shift him and couldn't at least replace him properly with a top class player not Disasi. Willing to say next summer will be massive clear out and buying again.

[TheHulk 2,432]

Worst fucking signing ever.

Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Sarr, Koulibaly, Zappacosta and a whole catalogue of frauds are all up as strong contenders.

Sarr was a free transfer, but his salary is cray

£120K PW

Worst signings (in no order)

Lukaku

Torres

Sheva

Drinkwater

CuCu

Kepa

Bakayoko 

KK

plus these potentials

Wesley Fofana (likely perma-damaged)

Mudryk (not looking good)

Disasi (jury out, but I never wanted him, far better CBs out there we could have purchased, IMHO)

Just quote them £75m or above and if they accept to that, sell.

Great player but injuries aren’t helping him not to mention his 250k p/w salary which is undoubtedly highest earner at club now possibly (salary compared to game time has been a huge reason behind many of our ex players exits under the new ownership).

People keep saying he is young he will overcome these injuries but he’s 24 at the end of the year. If he can’t sort his fitness and injury problems out sooner rather than later, then we end up with a Kante situation.

80M pounds for reece and he can go
