Chelsea have had several enquiries over midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu after his recent loan spell at Southampton.

It is thought Chelsea would prefer a loan over a straight sale, but should that be the case, it is expected they will add a future sell on clause as well.

If Mbueno is off, what's happening to Wissa is he staying...now there's tidy a talent

I'd actually love to see Palace go down...buy him & they're facked
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While I’d love Mbueno at Chelsea and have been impressed with Wissa too, I suspect buying them both would have no effect on Crystal Palace at all.

Andrey Santos and Estevão were indicated as starters in Ancelotti’s first training session today.

I am no expert on Ekitike, but it seems in the first half of this season he played upfront with Marmoush in a 4-4-2, or just behind him as part of a front 3. So maybe Maresca has designs on him being part of a front 2 or 3, but alongside a central striker like Delap. Rather than just as the central striker.

‼️ Chelsea are not currently working on the idea of ​​loaning João Félix again and, therefore, have set a minimum value of €30 million fixed, plus bonuses.

Con ven ient

Shouldn't it tell us something if Milan would be willing to let go of Maignan and get Petrovic? I know that Maignan is the better known keeper but I heard that he didn't have the best season.

Milan saying that Maignan is washed now apparently.

Surprised we're interested in a 29 year old lol

Yep. Rather just keep Pets personally.

Saw a vid of Maignan’s performance last year on the Chelsea subreddit and he looked pretty poor.

Milan are washed generally

Chelsea are 'very enthusiastic’ about a move for Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan.

it’s suggested a ‘fiery race’ is developing for the left-back. Estupinan burst onto the scene with the Seagulls in 2022-23, with a goal and seven assists in his debut Premier League campaign, while he’s been a good defensive asset since.

According to the report, the most Brighton would ask for in order to sell the left-back would be €45million (£37.9m). Indeed, they are ‘open to considering offers’ in that price range.

He's been excellent this season.... We like a Brighton player

🚨 Chelsea are interested in signing Strasbourg’s Ismaël Doukouré (@lequipe)

CB/CDM, another key player for them last season with Sarr.

Chelsea are offering Strasbourg's 21-year-old midfielder Ismaël Doukouré a new project and a transfer to Chelsea amid interest from other English and German clubs.

~ @lequipe


Sarr expected to stay on loan at Strasbourg for another season. But think he is playing in the CWC for us first to see how he is

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have held positive talks with Mike Maignan and are expected to place an offer. AC Milan could be forced to sell for £20m-£25m, maybe with some add ons. (@JacobsBen)


Chelsea expected to bid around €25m

If we're bringing in Maignan to fight it out with Petrovic to be our number 1 keeper then I understand this transfer. But if it's to replace Petrovic then I'm concerned.

At least we're doing our business relatively early which is a good sign.

Club has clearly identified the players/positions that need upgrading and doing their best to get it done asap

Oooo Bencobs is a big ITK for us, basically confirmed then

In case anyone gets pessimistitus disease from Superb it's worth remembering Superb wanted us to buy Onana.

So if he's worried about Maignan, the odds are he will be the signing of the season

I was going to say I hope Maignan is not going to be like the keeper United bought from the other Milan

Superb is a bit down because no one is interested in his man crush Gyokeres

Ben Jacobs came out of nowhere about three years ago — no idea who his sourcing is, but it's consistently very good.

Matt Law has got noticeably slower since Marina left and stopped taking him for dinner.

Sky Sports is way behind the others now all it's good journalists got fired in cuts or poached. The Athletic guys basically don't do transfer scoops. BBC is just a verification service...

It's really just Ben Jscobs, Ornstein and Fabrizio who I trust as rock solid transfer in the knows ahead of schedule.

Pessimistic, coming from you lol.

I've been really optimistic all day. All week since we won the Conference League, just look at my username, nothing pessimistic there.

Obviously I'm not allowed to voice concerns about bringing in Maignan when we already have a really good keeper in Petrovic. My bad.

Talking about this, could someone do a welfare of Oscar, not sure how he will react to Sancho going home, or are we aspecting another season of him supporting United like the Jose era??
