Chelsea Transfers

Guehi and Tomori cover most of the Kounde deal. And if Zouma is out we are in plus.

La Liga is NOT the big air game that the EPL is

so many times Azpi (the same height as Kounde) has had crosses that have beaten him in the air

Fabrizio hasn't mentioned the price for Kounde. Man City bid 55m euros last year and it was rejected, contract is till 2024.

This is 50m on a position we don't necessarily need to strengthen.

£50m?

his release clause is €80m (£69m)

Monchi is pissed that the club said they might drop his price by €5-10m

also, be forewarned

he is another 'My dream and my first choice has always been Real Madrid' lad

what is the problem? we know how the system works... every top player has the dream to play in RM... c'est la vie

[ZAPHOD2319 4,803]

Those RM dreams could also be changed if RM is not at the top. Carlos ahead of the rest of the top teams seems rather unlikely. Carlos seems more like a caretaker for a year or two. Then the real rebuild starts.

lol, the top 8 market value transfers have all went for far less than their value, some massively so, some on frees

 

Ligue 1 and many Italian clubs are in financial meltdowns

super players are rock bottom bargain basement prices

and here we are going to potentially (and are willing to do so) pay just insane amounts MORE than market value on most all of our supposed targets who have been linked a tonne

Håland

Lukaku

Rice

Chiesa

Hakimi (failed)

Grealish

Kounde

Thomas Tuchel has told #Chelsea’s board that he wants another central midfielder. He is determined to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title and the German also believes he needs more options on the right flank. (Guardian)

What would you say is a "good fee" for Kounde?

whatever Real Madrid pays for him next season

[Artandur 939]

Since a top striker doesn't seem to be possible this summer it seems reasonable to invest in a good young CB and DM now, since we have a bunch of aging players in those regions

[Superblue 6,372]

The option of driving down the fee with a player could be very good for us given the abundance of players we still need to try and move on.

Anyone know Sevilla well enough to be able to suggest who could be realistic to push their way? Obviously wages is a big consideration, but Sevilla should have a pretty decent pull for players and can offer Champions League football too.

Tchouameni and Kounde are great friends from Bordeaux days.
