Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 19,280]

It does genuinely seem like loads of clubs fancy Nkunku & Jackson but nobody has put a serious offer in yet. Hopefully these teams like Villa are starting to feel the pressure after their poor start and will do so ASAP. 

Getting Xavi in quickly this coming week would particularly beneficial because we could rest Palmer for another match and then I think it’s the international break, right? We can basically give him a full summer break that he didn’t get.

• Axel Disasi is in talks with Wolves, with Chelsea ready to sell for £30m. Other clubs such as Bournemouth, Newcastle and Napoli could also still get involved. (Mark Brus, CaughtOffside)

• Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer: “In the last four or five days he was not 100 percent and tonight during the warm up he felt something in his groin, so we preferred not to take the risk.” (Press conference)

• Xavi Simons started for RB Leipzig last night as he always wanted to respect the club until the end. But his plan remains clear - he wants to join Chelsea before the end of the window. Spurs have also approached him, but he’s given his priority to Chelsea. (Fabrizio Romano)

• Borussia Dortmund are confident of signing both Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and defender Aaron Anselmino, with direct talks set to take place. (Fabrizio Romano)

• Adam Wharton is now Manchester United’s top transfer target in midfield after missing out on a move for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, but they’ll face strong competition from Real Madrid for the Crystal Palace midfielder’s signature, while his asking price is also at least €80m. (AS)

Would HATE to see Wharton or Baleba at United. Rumor is they want both, one this summer and the other next summer.

Thankfully, after the Eze sale and potentially Guehi this coming week I can’t see any chance they sell him. Their asking price would probably be monstrous just like Baleba’s.

Only 2 years left on his contract tho. We in a tricky situation with him.if we sell him we unlikely to find someone who'll pay a fee we won't regret selling him for in the future, If we loan him for a year he comes back with just a year left. Ideally extend him before the loan but he may resist that with how we stockpiling in AM positions.

We could always sell him with a buy back option (in case he does go and smash it at Roma)

Both him & Josh are valuable as they meet the homegrown and club-trained criteria for UEFA competitions

So with Quenda coming next year, this would be our attacking options:   Neto, Gittens, Pedro, Palmer, Estevao, Delap, Quenda, Garnacho*, Simons* 

That's too many players for 3-4 spots on the pitch 😄

Chelsea willing to accept certain loan deal for Nico Jackson but Christopher Nkunku must be permanent

Blues pushing to sell both players this week and can then move on Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-willing-to-accept

It is set to be a very busy end to the summer transfer window for Chelsea as we are about to enter to last 7 days of it.

We are even forecasting a busy transfer deadline day and expect some drama coming up.

The club still need to make a number of sales across the board this week and are busy working on outgoing deals for a chunk of the squad.

The two biggest ones they want to move on this week is Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson. Once those two are off the books, there will be more wiggle room to get deals done to sign both of Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho, two incomings the club still want to get done next week. It could all go down to the wire now though.

First and foremost, we need to sell Jackson and Nkunku.

SPTC Sources have heard this weekend that Chelsea have told interested clubs that they are willing to accept a loan deal for Jackson. However, any loan deal HAS to contain an obligation to buy and not an option. This allows clubs who are struggling with the financial rules to not have any big spend this year and bank roll it over to next year allowing them more time to balance the fee with more sales and profit making themselves.

With Nkunku though, we have heard Chelsea are a lot less willing to do any sort of loan deal and have told clubs that they want a permanent transfer only.

At the moment, the club are talking to MANY clubs for both players and said players have their agents in talks with MANY clubs as well. Premier League and European clubs are working on deals to sign both players.

Both sales can advance quick and neither are short of suitors. So hopefully we will see them both speed up very soon now.
