130M pounds would be enough to our board accept the offer

His contract is until 2032. 

That is not enough to get me excited. It's close to what we paid. 

We can keep for at least another 4 years.

And if that happens then we should get 100% of what we paid over. 

200 million pounds or nothing else. 

we paid £107m for him

so 200 per cent (ie double) would be £214m (€247.5m)

that extra £14m could buy at least one Brasilian 15yo who could come here in 2028 and be loaned out for 3 years, LOLOLOLOL

I’d absolutely take Xavi Simons. But it would probably be a death sentence for Kendry Paez’s chances of ever being a Chelsea first team player even if he kills it at Strasbourg.

Xavis is a right footer

Kendry is a lefty

I was thinking more about the space they occupy. With Quenda coming in next summer as well I don’t see any space whatsoever for Paez if we buy another #10 this summer.

It’s already hard to picture how Quenda gets lots of minutes if Neto & Estevão have great seasons on the RW.

Still no Madueke announcement, but with his sale and Petrovic there is 70 odd million.

One more attacker, but not Garnacho

So why has the deal not been confirmed?

Up until last weekend, Madueke was with the Chelsea squad on duty at the Club World Cup in the United States of America. The 23-year-old came off the bench in the Blues' semi-final win over Fluminense on Tuesday, July 8.

With talks progressing over the deal to take him to Arsenal, however, Madueke left Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign prior to the final in New Jersey that the Blues won by defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.

It is because of that Club World Cup journey, however, that is the reason why Madueke has not been confirmed.

While the formalities of the deal may have been completed already, Madueke has not officially signed, having been allowed to go on holiday because of his participation in the Club World Cup.

FIFA guidelines state that players should have at least three consecutive weeks of holiday after the end of a season and Madueke is currently enjoying that break.

Arsenal allowed Madueke that extended time off, not expecting him to be on the plane for the start of the club's pre-season tour of Asia. Madueke has only had one week off so far and another two weeks would see him miss the tour entirely.

It may be some time before the deal is officially announced.

Unless he's got Lupus he shouldnt need 3 weeks to complete a read & sign.

Paez I don't think he will make it. 

I think we got the best from Ecuador in Caicedo. 

This guy I'm not sure, his mind seems like a weakling to me. 

But let's see what he does in Strasbourg. I hope he proves me wrong.

Madueke has said his goodbyes on social media

Understand Alexander Isak has given initial green light to start discussion for Al-Hilal 

Talks ongoing between the Saudi club and his agents.
