Close to a 68m deal for De Jong apparently

#Chelsea are considering a move for Celtic's Josip Juranovic at right-back.

[via @GraemeBailey]

#Chelsea's third bid for Wesley Fofana will not be a world record fee. They are hoping for under £80M and for more meaningful talks.

[via @JacobsBen]

#Chelsea are optimistic of reaching a €80M agreement with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong, with the wages being offered to the player seen as acceptable. The move depends on the player.

[via @JacobsBen]

Last sentence being the most important, move depends on the player.

He wants to stay at Barca as it stands

Greetings by the way.

As a question, has Ronaldo to Chelsea been ruled out 100% then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No concrete news...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm, if there’s been no public rejection then I’d imagine that the deeper into the window we get without you landing a proper striker, the more feasible it will seem.

But on the other hand, I haven’t really been following preseason ... has Broja been featuring at all?

Hakim Ziyech has instructed his lawyer to find alternative options to AC Milan this summer due to the slow speed of their approach. Thomas Tuchel is open to keeping Ziyech for another season, despite his dissatisfaction at #Chelsea.

He is a complete nut job. I don't consider him a fan of the club, but some sort of exclusively obsessed p
e adophile fan of Chelsea youth players with an extreme dose of ageism for seasoning.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's representatives are meeting with Barcelona amid #Chelsea's interest. If they are unable to sign him, Thomas Tuchel could look for alternative targets.

I do wonder about his mental health tbh. He doesn't seem right. It's sad that we have no way of verifying this or if he's getting the help he needs.

He'll probably opt to stay at Barca so they can punish him some more.

He could do a lot worse for himself than AC Milan given his inconsistency at Chelsea. They’re probably close to the best he can expect if he’s to be shipped out right now.

CHO. Christensen had a very good spell for Conte (before the Barcelona game), and has had MOTM performances here & there since.

CHO's been alright but I legit can't think of one game where he's made me go WOW, he just kind of exists as this promise of untapped potential that's gunna kick in any day now

I still think Cho can develop into something approaching the hype. And I think it can happen this season if he's played regularly in a side and doesn't get injured.

---------------------------------------------------
I dunno, depends what you expect. He doesn't strike me as an explosive type, he's more subtle than you'd expect for someone with the hype he once had. I can't see him having a breakout moment or match, like Rooney, that kickstarts everything. It'll be one of those things where halfway through a season in the future we'll all be like 'CHO's actually been our best attackers for awhile, when did that start?'.

I'm not holding my breath though.

He needs a loan, somewhere where he'll play every game and be able to develop. Physically he looks completely different this season. A season at Palace would be very good for him.

Think he'd excel abroad especially in Bundesliga where the games are much more open.

Hence the links to Dortmund, be a good move for him

All depends on FDJ, he wants to suffer at Barca by the looks of it

Depends on where this supposedly iffy contract goes

Hearing and reading conflicting opinion on FDJ defensive ability.

Please let's not give any future players or managers a three letter acronym. I've yet to see a player or manager that we use it for be a success here.

If we start calling De Jong FDJ then I know he's either doomed to fail here or we're never going to sign him
