Chelsea Transfers

Vitinha or João Neves with the Mourinho/Portuguese connection for sure. Though as amazing as both players are I’m not sure they qualify as Galactico’s. If they get one of them then Enzo is definitely not going there.

They may genuinely not be after Enzo at all. In which case I don’t know where else he could go if he is desperate to leave. Perhaps we can get him to stay after all.

I wouldn't rule out a late bid from Man City if Forest ask for too much for Anderson. 

Enzo has said that he wants to play UCL football next season and if it's not Madrid, his only other option would probably be Man City.

They sold Donnarumma, Simons, Ugarte, Ekiteke in previous seasons. 

Probably more likely they sell their French GK than the two Portuguese mids.

Eli Junior Kroupi is ready to reject Arsenal move in favour of Paris Saint-German

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/06/03/just-in-13-goal-attacker-reject-arsenal-move-psg/

Arsenal’s interest in Eli Junior Kroupi makes complete sense, but this already feels like one of those transfer stories where the Gunners may have to decide very quickly whether they are serious or simply watching from a distance.

According to Footmercato, Kroupi’s preferred move would be to Paris Saint-Germain if he leaves Bournemouth this summer.

That is a major detail because once a young French attacker dreams of PSG, it becomes very difficult for other clubs to change the direction of the deal.

Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City have all been linked, while Bournemouth are reportedly demanding around €100 million for the teenager.

From an Arsenal point of view, it is easy to see why Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta would be interested.

Kroupi has just had a ridiculous debut Premier League season for Bournemouth, scoring 13 league goals at just 19 years old.

Kroupi helped Arsenal win the Premier League title

Even more interestingly, he scored against both Arsenal and Manchester City, with his goal against City helping Arsenal seal the Premier League title.

That alone makes him a player Arsenal fans will remember. In a strange way, he has already played a small part in Arsenal history without even wearing the shirt.

Arsenal should admire Kroupi, monitor him closely, but not get dragged into a €100m emotional bidding war.

He is clearly a huge talent, and his ceiling looks frighteningly high, but Arsenal are now in a position where they need players who can instantly push them closer to Champions League glory.

After winning the Premier League and finishing runners-up in Europe, this is not the time for half-measures.

Kroupi would be an exciting signing, no doubt. He is young, Premier League-proven, sharp in the box and already showing maturity beyond his age.

Under Arteta, he could develop into one of Europe’s best forwards. But at €100m, Arsenal would not just be buying potential, they would be taking a massive gamble.

The bigger issue is PSG. If the player genuinely has his heart set on Paris, Arsenal should be very careful.

The club have worked too hard in recent years to build a serious, focused project. They do not need to beg players to choose them.

Arsenal should want players who are fully convinced by the Emirates, Arteta and the direction of the team.

Kroupi is special, but Arsenal’s next big attacking signing has to be perfect.

Arsenal face Aston Villa competition to sign 21-year-old with “special nose for goal”

They do if the player wants to go. If you’ve already won 2 UCL’s at PSG you might want to take the only real step up you can and go to Real Madrid.

If they won’t go to £105m for him I doubt they would for Enzo. 🤷‍♂️

The hilarious thing about the wage cap at Chelsea is that you have Wesley fucking Fofana making as much as club captain and legend Reece James annually. 

No wonder Enzo and Cucurella want to gtfo here.

Average nobodies being rewarded for doing fuck all entire season, while dragging down the real performers.

This overcorrection to stupidly signing Sterling and Koulibaly on inflated wages has led to this. Well done BlueCo.

The wage cap was probably put into place because of players like Fofana and Sterling being put on silly wages when these owners first got here and didn’t have a clue how things worked. They don’t want to repeat those mistakes again which is understandable. 

The thing is, you HAVE to pay these sorts of wages if you want top players.

"We have no money for signings"

Don’t be naive.

They are spending the money they are about to make from Enzo and Cucurella. 
 

All you have to do is go and watch the last 20 odd streams from Younes & Johnny Minerals to see our situation.

Everyone in here and all over the net has fallen for the BlueCo scam yet again! 
 

The signs are there from all to see but you all chose to ignore them. 

The wage cap being at £150k is therecby design. It’s an excuse for them not to buy big named signings. It’s actually ridiculous at this point.

Obviously I want to be wrong. Obviously I want to wake up tomorrow and see that we have signed a Bastoni or an Osimhen and If it does, I will be more than happy to be wrong. It just aint happening brother.

 

Wake up. BlueCo are playing everyone for fools. Soo easily led this lot. Wow.

- Murillo new Forest deal

- Senesi has signed for Spurs and Van Hecke to soon follow.

- We’re apparently not interested in Lacroix.
 

So then just who is this “Experienced Starting Quality Premier League CB” we are signing that BlueCo kept feeding the media? 

Not that I believe these twats anymore but it’s at the point where it’s getting amusing seeing them caught in their own lies time and time again acting as if the fanbase hasn’t caught on.

Between Real looking at a CL player and Man City targeting Elliot Anderson, I don't see Enzo moving in the summer.

I suppose theres always a chance that if the player Real Madrid are targeting is indeed Vitinha and he pushes to go there, PSG could then come in for Enzo. Their name has been mentioned before.

Go and see his competitor for the presidential election.   What type of candidate goes to a show with a Haaland Real Madrid jersey?      City could probably sue them for using Haaland's name without prior permission. 😆

Regardless of where Enzo goes, what midfielders are actually available to replace his quality and skill level?

Wondering if Wharton at Palace would be the type of mid that Alonso wants.

Wharton would be the ideal replacement. Whether we can beat Liverpool, United, or whoever else is after him is the issue.

There is a nice midfield market. Not considering Elliot Anderson (City bound) and Ederson (off to United) 

Wharton, Mateus Fernandes, Rodri, Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Real Madrid mids who might be sold. And Rogers, Gibbs-White, Nico Paz if you consider attacking mids
