£30m but with a higher sell on percentage.wouldnt be too bad. Like most I wish we would just keep him but obviously something went on behind the scenes and him being up for sale is not based on pure playing ability.

Although "under 30m" could be 11.5m and a used Spanish family shit bucket.so let's see what exactly that means..

Villarreal have reached a verbal agreement in principle on personal terms with Renato Veiga.

Chelsea remains firm on the asking price: €35M and the Spanish club's first offer has been rejected.

madness if we sell him for £25-27m or so

I truly want an answer as to why, when we are in desperate need of a left-footed CB, do we not use the lad, who looked really sold at Juve last season

Bayern trying to backstab us, get the fuck Nkunku already.

[Nero 1,901]

Everyone who said only Chelsea wants him. He turned down an approach from Bayern. He also rejects offers from Italy and Saudi Arabia, cos he's waiting for Chelsea. 

Say what you want, but I love how this guy is fighting for Chelsea.

Garnacho should be advised to be open to others. The club may want him but Simons first,George still being at the club,possibility that money set aside for him goes to central defender instead.different if there was a huge need for him above others and we had money to burn under current financial rules.

[lluubbeenn 188]

After watching the debut of Gittens he surely believes there is a starting spot for him here. Garnacho that is.

Weren't there reports that he is determined never to play for Chelsea again? If that is the case then that's a possible answer to the question.

IF so, what happened to get him to that point?

It seems all so nebulous, same as Tuchel's sacking.

Chelsea grow frustrated with loan-only offers, Maresca's disagreement with the board could end ugly, Neville: Chelsea lack a spine & not there yet, Signings need to adapt, Much more.....

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 19th August 2025!

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-grow-frustrated-with

 

Hope you’ve had a good start to your week! It’s been a rough weekend in our house but I’m back on the road today!

Chelsea had a bit of a stuttering start to the new league campaign on Sunday only managing a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace, and we’ve had some reactions and other bits and pieces out on that this week.

I had the live blog running yesterday and you can check in on all of that here. This covers everything you need to know, all the latest transfer news, and much more from across the last 24 hours in the same place.

Gary Neville thinks that Chelsea still lack a spine in the squad and are not there yet. Neville loves an opportunity to go at Chelsea, we all know that. Some debate in this one here on Neville’s comments.

Blues boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that some of the new signings need to adapt in his reflections on the Palace draw. We all know this and I wrote last week how we need to be patient with them. Words on that here.

Meanwhile, Maresca is having an alleged disagreement with the board over signing a new centre back, although there is more to it than that. It’s a situation that could get ugly though because Maresca has been so public with it. Story here.

I also had a sourced article out yesterday on how Chelsea are growing frustrated with loan only offers coming in for players they desperately need to sell this window now. You can get the drop on that here.

Liverpool set £35m asking price for player who struggled against Bournemouth in season opener

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/08/18/liverpool-asking-price-player-struggled-bournemouth/

 

Liverpool’s summer transfer business is still not over with under two weeks remaining in the transfer window to shut down.

The Reds have done majority of their transfer business this summer. They have strengthened their attack, midfield as well as their defense but changes could still be made by Arne Slot considering the options available in the market.

The Premier League champions are targeting moves for Newcastle United star Alexander Isak as well as Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.

Both are being difficult to sign due to the stance taken by their current clubs but the situation could change soon giving Reds the hope of making a double deal that would make a statement.

Players could be allowed to leave the club as well, those are not in the plans of Slot or are refusing to sign a new deal.

Tsimikas and Konate could leave Liverpool

Left-back Kostas Tsimikas is expected to leave soon for more playing time away from Anfield while centre-back Ibrahima Konate, who has still not signed a new deal at the club after entering the final year of his contract, faces an uncertain future.

With Konate refusing to sign a new deal after failing to agree to terms offered to him by the club, the Merseyside club are ready to cash in on him this summer.

The French centre-back struggled in Liverpool’s first match of the season against Bournemouth. Antoine Semenyo left him on the floor when he scored for Andoni Iraola’s side to bring the visitors level in the match.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Premier League giants are ready to sell the French defender this summer if they receive an offer of £35m for him.

Real Madrid are interested in Ibrahima Konate

Real Madrid have shown interest in signing him but only as a free agent at the end of the season, similar to how they signed former Liverpool player Trent Alexander-Arnold. Barcelona have also been linked with a move for Konate.

Due to failed negotiations over his wage demands, the Reds are now ready to entertain the idea of selling Konate this summer.

In that case, the potential signing of Guehi would become even more important for them.

The final few days of the transfer window are entering an exciting phase and Liverpool will be on of the clubs actively looking to make changes to their squad.

Maresca was outwardly happy with him then suddenly wasn't.around same time came out that Viega wants to just play CB or whatever it was,wouldn't be up for cross examination. 

It seems to me there's 4 things that aren't acceptable to Maresca. players wanting to be given guaranteed starter status. Players not wanting to be flexible to team needs,lazy in training and lack of off field professionalism.

It' s obviously not due to playing ability.

Chelsea have already set up a deal with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons.
