The Blues have enjoyed a productive summer transfer window, bolstering new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s squad with six new signings. But Chelsea will continue to explore deals until the window shuts and have turned their attentions to Palace winger Olise.

His form for Palace and the France U21 star has attracted interest from Chelsea and Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Brazilian winger was sent off after he reacted angrily following the abusive chants from fans at the Mestalla during Real Madrid’s game against Valencia in May. Though the card was rescinded, and Valencia were fined despite initially labelling sanctions against them ‘unfair and disproportionate’, the incident brought back up the issue of racism in football. And Vinicius, who criticised the Spanish Football Federation for their lax policing of the problem, enjoyed backing from the wider footballing community for his stance. The Brazilian-born Costa, who recently ended a short stint with Premier League club Wolves, added his name to the…
Just nine days before they are due to start their LaLiga defence against Getafe, Barcelona could be facing a major problem. As things stand, they have only 13 players registered to play in the competition, with one of their famous “financial levers” (on this occasion, the sale of 16% of Barça Studios, worth €60 million/$65.65 million) the key to allowing them register players who have agreed new contracts (Gavi, Ronaldo Araújo, Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, Iñaki Peña), as well as new signings Ilkay Gündogan, whose move from Champions League winners Manchester City has been seen as a huge coup, Iñigo…
The Germany international only joined the Spanish champions this summer as a free agent. Gundogan however agreed to join Barca on the condition that he is registered to play in the league by August 12, which is the day before their opener against Getafe. Otherwise, his contract would be terminated and he would leave for a new club. With nine days to go, things are still up in the air, although both the player and the club are confident his registration will be completed in time, which is starting to run out.
A report from Calcio e Finanza (via footitalia) writes – citing Football Report – that Italian football suffered losses of €1.4bn in 2021-22 and has thus accrued debts of €5.6bn, with the aggregate loss over the last 15 years amounting to €7.7bn. The overall loss of the Serie A, Serie B and Serie C championships in the three-year period COVID-19 (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) was equal to almost €3.6bn. Looking at just Serie A alone, in 2021-22 season the league recorded a production value of just under €3bn, a decrease of 6.5% compared to 2020-21, a season strongly influenced by higher…
This summer, sources claim that Arsenal of the Premier League are considering a bid for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Arsenal are looking to raise money for more incomings with technical director Edu submitting a bid for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya this week. Another rumour currently doing the rounds is the possibility that they will try for Napoli winger Kvaratskhelia after his impressive performances last term. The Georgia international contributed 14 goals and 14 assists in 43 matches in Serie A and the Champions League last term with his displays attracting admiring glances. And now Spanish publication Nacional claims Arsenal are prepared to ‘storm’ the transfer…
Chelsea are refusing to budge from their valuation over the potential signing of Montpellier starlet Elye Wahi as Todd Boehly takes a rare hardline approach to transfer negotiations. The free-spending American billionaire is taking a different approach to negotiations for the striker, who has been tipped to join RC Strasbourg on loan if he makes the move from Ligue 1, but Boehly is holding firm on the price he is prepared to pay to clinch his signature. The 20-year-old has emerged as one of France’s top talents and scored 19 goals in the top flight last season – including four…
