Vesper 31,042 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Inter Milan outline new condition for Chelsea to complete Achraf Hakimi transfer The Blues continue to be linked with the Moroccan wing-back but Inter first have to sell another player before they contemplate letting him go https://www.football.london/Chelsea-fc/transfer-news/Chelsea-hakimi-condition-inter-milan-20862952 Chelsea continue to be strongly linked with a move for Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi. Competing with Paris Saint-Germain for his signature, the Blues have reportedly plotted a swap deal involving current defender Marcos Alonso. The Spaniard appears unlikely to have a future at Stamford Bridge beyond the summer, with Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel preferring England international Ben Chilwell. Meanwhile, the arrival of Alonso has reportedly been approved by Inter’s newly appointed boss Simone Inzaghi. However, there is a potential problem in Marina Granovskaia’s plan in that Inter’s current wing-back option Ivan Perisic must be sold in order for the Serie A champions to accept any deal involving Alonso. According to FCinternews, a sale of the Croatian international this summer is “essential” should the swap deal be accepted. A finalist of the World Cup in 2018, the 32-year-old is out of contract next summer and is apparently being eyed by Bundesliga clubs which could potentially make a sale a little easier.

I have never really heard of this before, and the only way I can see it is IF Dortmund accepted a big cash buyout to make the buyback null and void. Even then though it's still too high.

Pizy 19,252 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Settling for a much lesser player after missing out on our top target is dumb. If not Haaland just invest heavily in other areas of the team and pray we make top 4 or win the CL again and can try for him next year. If we buy Isak for big money and he sucks we’re stuck with him and one of our rivals could sign Haaland. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adama Traore. in terms of actual even remotely available (some would take a shit tonne of cash to turn the heads of the selling club) best RWB options Achraf Hakimi Silas Katompa Mvumpa (22yo, 1.89m beast, out with a knee injury atm though, IF he recovers we could be a massive weapon if we fail on Hakimi, he has insane pace and a better shot, 13 goals and 5 assists in only 2100 minutes for Stuttgart, I so hope his knee injury heals up completely and fast) Emerson Royal (if Barca sells him) James Justin (Leicester will want insane cash though) Adama Traoré Enock Mwepu (23yo, 1.84m, 10 goals, 7 assists for RB Salzburg) Lutsharel Geertruida (20yo, 1.84m Feyenoord RWB, 8 goals 2 assists, but now is also out with an injured knee) Devyne Rensch (18yo 1.79m Ajax youngster, 3 goals, 2 assist in the league in the 9 games after he went fulltime starter) Wilfried Singo (20yo 1.9m beast for Torino, super raw, needs time) best LWB options Theo Hernández Robin Gosens Ramy Bensebaini Borna Sosa (23yo Croatian, 1.86m, 10 Bundesliga assists as a LWB/LB in only 2000 minutes, 9 in 3 months, from mid January to mid April, then had a now-recovered-from shoulder injury) best bargain buy out of all these Plus, the 18yo (19yo in 3 days) Nuno Mendes, who I can so see becoming a monster and easily reaching that level, although he is nowhere nearly as large (1.76m so they say) as 4 listed above, all of whom are over 6 feet tall, although he has tremendous leaping skills, he is extremely athletic. Alfonso Pedraza is sorta getting there as well and is 1.84m, so has good size as well, but I am NOT convinced he si Chels quality wild card, a 21yo, 1.81cm Brasilian from Club Athletico Paranaense, Abner Vinicius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,252 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Isak looks to me like the sort of signing Arsenal would make. A good talent that has the potential to become a great buy but is also a risk. Comes across as a player that mid level clubs pursue because they aren’t attractive enough to lure the very best. Do I think he’d be decent for us? Probably. But is he the sort of striker who can take us up to City’s level in the league? Nope. If we’re dead set on getting a striker this summer no matter what and fail with Haaland, I think the only “let’s take a punt on this guy” forward I’d be reasonably happy with is Vlahovic. Got all the tools to become world class and is so young that even if he starts slowly can get better and better with great coaching. Less risky for me than Isak.

When you look at our current attacking players metrics in build up, they are all heavily involved. When you compare it to Isak and Haaland, the former looks like he would better suit us. But that is the question. Are we so poor at finishing because we have too many players involved in the build up and no one being the clinical focal point? If that is the case Haaland is the answer.

Yeah thanks, that's pretty much what i figured. Feels like he would definitely be a really good option for us to have, but not the big money solution to our problems, that we should be looking for.

We need a clinical focal point vs another attack heavily involved in build up. So Haaland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
