Chelsea Transfers

Would add insult to injury if Liverpool or United suddenly decide to swoop now that our move looks off.

This is what happens when you let The fucking Americans come into our sport and perform clown acts. This is a circus routine happening in front of our very own eyes. 

 

We are going down the Everton route. 

Jeopardizing our entire club whilst building an expensive yet very ordinary squad.

I mean technically speaking we did beat the clause, we are willing to pay higher than the clause. The problem is paying it in installments, which I understand why we are trying to do that. Tbh I am actually excited to see what happens next..

What to be excited now? It will collapse in a few hours as some reports say. We're done.

Yep, it’s off. We probably tried to offer some small upfront amount and Benfica stood firm. 

We bottled it.

Is anyone surprised though?

Deal falls through. 

We get battered Thursday 3-0

We pay 80m for Alvarez because Ajax now know how much we have to spend.

Also sounds right...

[TheHulk 1,882]

@SLBenfica
 wants the 120 millions of the release clause in one payment instead of the 127 millions in many installments. @ChelseaFC don't want to pay that amount of money now. One step back on Enzo's deal. Next hours are crucial. ⏳

Andrey Santos now “in London having medical” after agreement with Chelsea – But chief says “deal not closed”

http://sportwitness.co.uk/chief-reveals-player-london-medical-ahead-Chelsea-move-deal-not-closed/

 

Even though it’s been a couple of weeks since the Brazilian media reported Chelsea’s deal with Vasco da Gama for the transfer of Andrey Santos, the Blues are still to confirm the youngster’s arrival at the Stamford Bridge.

The agreement, however, is now announced by the Rio de Janeiro side. In a press conference, their director Paulo Bracks claimed the clubs have already shook hands for the move to happen, and now wait for minor details until that’s made official.

“Andrey, he’s in London having the medical. Vasco accepted Chelsea’s proposal, but the deal is not closed,” said Paulo Bracks (via Globo Esporte).

“Between a proposal made and accepted until finalization, there is no manual of days. It can take a week, 15 days, 30 days. It is important to point out because I understand the anxiety, but negotiations are complex.”

Since the agreement was initially reported, there had been several claims regarding the price paid by Chelsea for the transfer.

The latest of them said the initial amount is of €12.5m, with other potential bonuses.

The Brazilian media had also claimed that Andrey Santos would still apply for a working visa to play in the Premier League, and in case that was not granted, he’d stay on loan at Vasco until the middle of the year.

Therefore, that could be one of the issues holding the Chelsea transfer for now.

Update Enzo: Chelsea is not flexible in terms of payment and Benfica also does not accept less than it asks. Rui Costa sees no benefits from selling Enzo on installments for now. Benfica intends to advance against Chelsea for having made the player's head with promises and dreams. It is not Chelsea that retreats, it is Benfica that was intransigent in the way it negotiated the player's pass. Rui Costa only accepted the clause outright. Chelsea was also not flexible and the deal should even fall through in the next few hours.

-Jorge, from transfers

 

What an absolute car crash of an owner says something after changes stance just to piss the selling team. I'm fucking done with football this season.

Chelsea should have just concentrated on getting Enzo rather than talk about gazzumping Arsenal for Mykhaylo Mudryk a £85m player we dont really need. Benfica are no fools and can see that Chelsea do have the cash but dont want to pay up. This is what happens when you dont have a game plan for the club.

Wouldn't surprise me now.  What a load of crap 

[Pizy 18,402]

Just pay the fucking money, Todd. This is a player that can completely change our midfield fortunes. And we have essentially a free run at him this window. May never get this chance again. Especially if we finish bloody 10th or something!

Bought by a billionaire and being run by a kid next door. I haven't seen such an incompentent hack in my life.

[TheHulk 1,882]

From what I understand, Benfica did not show intransigence, so much so that they accepted the offer that Chelsea had made a week ago.
Chelsea didn't keep that offer and wanted to pay less than the first offer they made and, as I also read, rui costa was still hurt by Chelsea, for not keeping the first offer.

Super lol if true.

If we buy Alvarez at all, I am going to lose my mind.

or even worse, Ibrahim Sangaré, aka Bakayoko 2.0

[DDA 9,689]

What a fucking joke.

[TheHulk 1,882]

This deal will only go ahead if Mendes convinces Chelsea to bear the interest on the credit operation, a bit like he did with Félix's operation with Atlético... so that Chelsea pays in several installments but Benfica receives the 120M ready.

So the deal progresses, but... I'm beginning to have doubts because Chelsea are trying their best to divert Mudryk from Arsenal and willing to reach 80M + extras.

Imagine ending January with no Enzo and only because we bought a guy who whored himself for months for another team.

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

This is genuinely Boehly in vs Boehly out territory.
