Vesper 30,224 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 Chelsea’s bid for Viktor Gyokeres - the truth https://thedailybriefing.io/i/140760107/chelseas-bid-for-viktor-gyokeres-the-truth We’re hearing more stories about Viktor Gyokeres, and it’s not too surprising after his impressive record of 20 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Sporting Lisbon this season. He joined Sporting from Coventry City and is now doing fantastic in Portugal, with many clubs interested in him. Yesterday one of the biggest papers in Portugal, on their front page, had reports of an €80m bid from Chelsea with add-ons for Gyokeres, but I’m able to tell you that Chelsea have never sent a proposal for this player, in fact they’ve never even contacted Sporting about him. Many important clubs around Europe are scouting Gyokeres, but it’s for a potential summer move as he’s not expected to leave Sporting in January - the plan was always to continue in Lisbon and to remain focused on this season, and then in the summer transfer window we’ll see what happens. For now, Gyokeres is not leaving the club, and also there is a release clause of €100m in his contract at Sporting. I’m told Sporting will not negotiate for under that value, but also Chelsea are not working on this deal now, he’s not a target for January, but in the summer we’ll see what happens. I think this story may have come about because Chelsea have been to watch Gyokeres many times, but also his Sporting teammate, talented young centre-back Ousmane Diomande. I think that’s why we’re having these stories as both players are among the names on Chelsea’s scouting list, but it’s nothing concrete at the moment.

I think closer to 150m. Maatsen is 35m clause. Gallagher at least 50m. Broja and Chalobah both around 25-30m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,224 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 Man United and Real Madrid among Leny Yoro suitors https://thedailybriefing.io/i/140760107/man-united-and-real-madrid-among-leny-yoro-suitors Leny Yoro could be a name to watch for the summer. The talented young Lille centre-back is now represented by Jorge Mendes, one of the best agents in the world, and Yoro is really one of the best talents in the world, he really is a fantastic centre-back. We’re having many rumours about the 18-year-old in the last few days, but it’s important to say one crucial thing - for Lille, the idea is to keep the player until the end of the season, because they feel in the summer there is going to be a big fight between top clubs to sign Yoro. Real Madrid have been in attendance multiple times to watch Yoro - they really like this boy, so let’s see if they will be in the race this summer. For sure they are scouting the player, and also the new people in charge at Manchester United, with INEOS having an excellent relationship with Jorge Mendes. PSG also know Yoro very well as he’s playing in Ligue 1 - since last summer they’ve been following him, so they are there too. It could be a big fight for Yoro, that’s what’s expected, and Lille want crazy money, but his contract expires in 2025 so it looks like one to watch.

Broja and Chalobah both around 25-30m. There's no chance we're getting that much for Chalobah. I can see an Italian side taking a punt at around £20m max (payment spread over a decade).

If Newcastle are in financial trouble(FFP) and the fee is reasonable he could be a summer purchase. He’s played in the league and can get goals. I’d like to see how he and Solanke finish this season after a really good half year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEVINAA 129 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 (edited) Chelsea should setup a training camp academy and do a search for young TALENTED Saudi Players and finding youth players to join Chelsea and then do dirty deals behind the scene with marketing financial help from Saudi companies looking for a premier league player from KSA can market for their national team.

Mercy ! complete bollocks site that article is from Nov 29, 2023 and it claims that Mount was not even sold yet: After agreeing on personal terms with Mount, Man United is getting closer to signing him. According to recent rumours, Chelsea may be offered Maguire as part of an incredible package to facilitate the signing. The Sun reports that the Red Devils and Blues have not yet reached an agreement on a transfer deal as the club want to fetch roughly £70 million for their midfielder. And since Maguire, an England international who is worth about £30 million, is almost certain to leave Old Trafford this summer, he may be used to sweeten the deal.

Strike 7,494 Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Is someone understanding the logic in putting the club’s only available striker up for sale mid-January? I doubt clubs would pay big money in January - Everyone is being careful with FFP. Most reports indicate loan bids. Plus if Broja goes and Nkunku isn’t fit yet, who starts the cup semifinal ?

If Ferencvaros ever kick a Greek team out of the champions league their manager will be sacked the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
