In the coming days, the goal of agent Ali Barat is to transfer Nicolas Jackson either to FC Bayern or to Newcastle United, both ready to meet player’s conditions & in advanced negotiations with Chelsea. As a reminder, Bayern won’t make direct transfer payment.

Why not get a loan with obligation to buy for next season to bypass the rules.

Leipzig boss Marcel Schäfer to Sky: „As of today, Xavi will stay with us. We have always said that we make all decisions based on sporting and economic factors – that’s why Xavi is still our player and played again today. The transfer market is still open — you never know what might happen.“

„Xavi has expressed his ambitions to us. For that to happen, all aspects need to align, including the financial ones. There is no agreement yet.“

Alejandro Garnacho saga: United invite Spurs to join Chelsea in the race

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/alejandro-garnacho-saga-united-invite-220500156.html

Manchester United have been trying to move on Alejandro Garnacho since the summer window opened. So far, an exit has not materialised.

It is not because of a lack of interest with Saudi Arabian sides, and plenty of European clubs chasing his signature.

But the Argentine seems hellbent on moving to Chelsea, who have, until now, only offered lowball proposals or swap deals. In fact, the Stamford Bridge outfit only want to spend £30 million on the 21-year-old.

INEOS value him at least £50 million, which makes a lot of sense given the prices Anthony Elanga, and Noni Madueke have fetched.

Garnacho only has eyes for Chelsea

The Blues want to take advantage of the fact that the Carrington graduate only has eyes for them. So desperate is the Argentina international to move to London that he is ready to watch from the stands if he does not get his desired switch.

That is why the Red Devils have an ace up their sleeve. As per Givemesport, they have given the green light to Tottenham Hotspur to approach them regarding a deal for the United No.17.

The 20-time English league champions are aware that the only way for them to get Chelsea to up their offer is if they encounter competition for the winger’s signature.

Spurs, who missed out on Eberechi Eze, could potentially try and land the ex-Atletico Madrid academy ace as a replacement.

Spurs invited to join the fray

They had been credited with interest in the versatile forward in the recent past. INEOS would welcome the prospect of a bidding war.

“Manchester United are hoping that Tottenham Hotspur will choose to re-enter the race to land Alejandro Garnacho as influential figures at Old Trafford have accepted that Chelsea will only come close to meeting their demands if they are facing competition for an agreement, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

“Manchester United have given Tottenham the green light to come back into the frame to sign Garnacho, according to GMS sources, as there are fears that they will be forced to allow him to join Chelsea for a cut-price fee if no other suitors are prepared to put cash on the table ahead of the summer transfer window slamming shut on September 1.

Hoping for a bidding war

“Tottenham used intermediaries to gauge what would be needed to recruit Garnacho and also made checks on his desire to leave Manchester United earlier in the transfer window, GMS sources have learned, resulting in his current employers being keen for the north Londoners to return to the market for his signature.

“Manchester United are resigned to the fact that Garnacho already has his heart set on being confirmed as Chelsea’s next arrival, GMS sources understand, but key decision-makers are desperate for Tottenham to provide him with an alternative destination as it would increase the possibility of a bidding war taking place.”

It will be interesting to see if Spurs’ entry can spur Chelsea to improve their offer. Hopefully, this saga can come to an end soon.

Amorim needs help in midfield and in goal, and with Garnacho not part of his plans, his sale could be key in unlocking further reinforcements.

Perfect end to the window would be to use that would be Garnacho money on Donnarumma, fuck Sanchez off somewhere, and get Xavi.

Because we’re going to see more of those ridiculous errors we saw from Sanchez this season if he remains our #1.

The reason Chelsea are unlikely to sign a new CB or GK

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/the-reason-Chelsea-are-unlikely-to

As I’ve been reporting for some time now, Chelsea have always been looking at the goalkeeper market and the centre back market this summer, it’s just never been the main priority. And this is because Enzo Maresca asked the club to prioritise improving the attack first.

For goalkeeper, as I’ve explained a few times now, it’s very complex and there are many reasons as to why so far they haven’t signed a new keeper or gone back in for Mike Maignan. I’m not fully ruling it out, but it would need one of Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen to be sold, and that’s now hugely unlikely unless a late surprise.

For centre back, I’m a tiny bit more hopeful on because Enzo Maresca has asked for one, but I still see it as unlikely this late in the window now. Chelsea would need to sell Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, and maybe even Trevoh Chalobah to be able to bring in a new centre back now. I say Chalobah and not Benoit Badiashile because the latter is injured until September.

There is nothing to suggest right now that Chelsea will sell Chalobah, but he’s always been one on the list that they would certainly listen to offers for.

The reasons Chelsea are not buying a new goalkeeper and a new centre back is varied, but one of them is FIFA. Chelsea need to make sure their transfer balance stays ‘positive’ otherwise the fine they’ve got is going to increase even more but not only that.

Kieran Gill of The Daily Mail reports:

‘Chelsea’s complex agreement with UEFA included a record fine worth £26.8m rising to £78.5m, but the key sporting sanction warned how the club ‘may not register any new player on List A to UEFA club competitions unless the List A Transfer Balance is positive’.

‘Chelsea have less than two weeks to prove to UEFA that they have balanced their books enough to be permitted to add their abundance of summer signings to Enzo Maresca’s Champions League squad for this season.

‘UEFA have now confirmed that their auditors will only be accounting for the money made on those who were named in the squad submitted by Chelsea for last season’s Conference League knockout stages.

‘Crucially, that means the sales of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Everton, Noni Madueke to Arsenal and Mathis Amougou to Strasbourg will work towards satisfying UEFA, but the exits of Felix et al will not.’

And that is why we are seemingly stuck without addressing the goalkeeper and centre back positions. But it begs the question, why are we prioritising Alejandro Garnacho so highly when there are more pressing concerns?

But as reported, Chelsea ARE in the centre back market looking at the options so anything can still happen.

On centre backs at Chelsea, Kieran Gill continued:

“While Chelsea are constantly monitoring the market in case opportunities crop up, it would likely require someone leaving the Blues in order for them to bring anyone in.”

So there you have it folks. There’s still some very slight hope, but the likelihood is now that Chelsea aren’t going to sign a new goalkeeper or a new centre back. But don’t believe reports that claim they are ‘happy’ with what they’ve got. Enzo Maresca certainly isn’t.

It is true that Robert Sanchez has impressed them a lot more lately. But they literally tried to sign Mike Maignan this summer, as well as Dean Huijsen. So they absolutely wanted to improve BOTH positions this summer. FIFA and our own odd priorities are now making that unlikely.
