Furthermore I think Newcastle and he will come to one of those "one more year" agreements. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,745 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Not too worried about the pace which things are moving. Gittens took some time. I think we're trying to sort out some outgoings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel in area where Hato operates. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've sold around £105m so should be fine I just went through the UEFA Settlement agreement doc and it doesn't mention 70 million anywhere. It says we have to have a positive transfer balance in order to register all new players in List A for the Champions League. The Club agrees to be subject to a sporting restriction and, as a consequence, may not register any new player on its List A to UEFA club competitions unless the List A Transfer Balance is positive. • The List A Transfer Balance is defined as the difference between the cost savings from outgoing players (“Cost savings”) and the new costs from incoming players (“New costs”) at any applicable deadline for the Club’s submission of its List A. https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/029b-1e280acc9f0c-a8b2ed192749-1000/chelsea_summary_version_4-year_sa_20250704173903.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,995 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Still nothing, huh? 🫤 If we’ve been in direct club to club talks for 3 days now and if the player is as keen to come here as some have suggested then I wonder what the holdup is? kexik and Reddish-Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,517 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, Strike said: and Veiga sale has hit a snag Yeh because Atletico went and signed another defender. Madueke/Petrovic sales help but if we're going to spend 70 + 40 to 45 for Simons & Hato, we will definitely need alot more in sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as my minimal understanding goes, we just needed to raise approximately £70m in sales this summer, which we have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,995 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It’s funny, up until the beginning of this week when we were first after him Xavi wasn’t even on my radar as a potential Chelsea player. He was never really a name linked with us from what I recall. But now that I’ve been watching loads of footage and highlights of him this week I think he would be the most exciting signing we make this summer. I’d be super let down if we don’t get him now. Hopefully some positive updates today from the big reporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
