Chelsea Transfers

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Chelsea have held talks with Fali Ramadani for Koulibaly, however it will take a super offer to convince De Laurentiis.

34 goals, 20 assists so far

He has 2 games left (if RB had not collapsed against Rangers, and if the Bundesliga played the normal 38 games that all the other big leagues do, and if their Europa League tie with Spartak Moscow (they would have won that tie, 95% for sure) was not cancelled due to Putin, he would have 5 games left plus 4 more already played

He has already broken the all time European MF single season goal scoring record (in terms of the top 15 leagues) with 34 so far

If he had those 9 games more (4 played already plus 5 or so more to come, depending on how a 38 game Bundesliga schedule is sorted, so probably he would have played at least 2 more of those 4 added matches already), I would wager he would have scored 40 goals for the season and ended on 25 or so assists (as the 4 missing league games would all be against shit teams (19th and 20th teams added via promotion to the 18 now), plus the one league game he IS going to play is also against a horrid side (Armenia Bielefeld)

Hmm interesting. Any possibility of us getting him?

I remember he left PSG when Tuchel got there. The guy is young and good but would cost alot of money as well.

If it was like £20m or maybe make a deal that involves sending Sarr their way with a bit of money I'd be all over that as he'd help cover for a lot of experience walking out the door this summer and immediately plug a need for a good couple of years. 

Anything much more than that though given his age and just a year on his contract and I wouldn't bother. We'd be better off seeing if he runs down his contract and take him on a free next summer to replace Silva for a couple of seasons.

Kounde , Dembele , Bellingham  , Backup LWB ,  Backup RWB - will be dream summer to us .

[MoroccanBlue 5,322]

Apparently we are pushing hard on Koulibaly, Kounde, and Tchouameni. 

Nkunku also being discussed. No news on wingback situation.

Go into a new season with the Broja (?) & Lukaku/Werner upfront? 

That's a nightmare

I haven’t heard Koulibaly’s name in like 2 years. I thought he had long faded from his top class best? He’s also just about to turn 31 in a months time.

Seems like the exact opposite sort of player we would sign. Only reason we signed Silva despite his age was because of his familiarity with Tuchel and the fact that he was free.

Still an incredible athlete. Fact of the matter is with Rudiger, Christensen, and Azpilicueta gone (Silva the next year as well) we are going to have a very young back line.

he  massively rebounded this season, super CB still

not that he is on a free, but he would be a crazy good free signing if he was

[Pizy 18,553]

Having just watched a compilation on YouTube of Koulibaly from this season he does still look like a beast. But it also looks like he plays in the same exact central CB position that Thiago Silva does. We need left and right sided CB’s.
