The Blues have been searching for a new shot-stopper to provide cover and competition to No. 1 Kepa Arrizabalaga after selling Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. Sanchez quickly emerged as Chelsea’s top target for the position and a deal – worth around £25m – has now been agreed with Brighton, according to The Athletic. It is claimed Sanchez, who made 23 Premier League appearances last season before dropping out of the starting XI, will undergo a medical at Stamford Bridge in the coming days. The Spain international will become Mauricio Pochettino’s fifth summer signing following Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Lesley…
Chelsea’s pre-season preparations came to a close in the early stages of this morning as the side played out a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the USA. With that now over, the attention turns towards Liverpool on the opening day of the Premier League, with a new look side preparing for the clash at Stamford Bridge. A whole host of exits have already been completed, though moves are still being assessed for Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku. In terms of incomings, a deal for Moises Caicedo appears to be dragging, but an agreement has been reached with Brighton for…
A report from Independent claims that Arsenal are showing interest in Khephren Thuram and a few other midfielders. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are keen on the 22-year-old Frenchman as well. Arsenal have already signed Declan Rice from West Ham United in a British transfer record deal this summer. But it seems that they are not quite done with strengthening their midfield yet. Thuram is a prodigious talent with a massive future ahead of him and he has been linked with a number of top clubs, including Liverpool. The 22-year-old could be tempted to join a bigger club this summer, and the…
The Frenchman, now with Juventus, may find himself in a position where he can sting his former employees after the Serie A giants entered the race for Jean-Clair Todibo. According to soccerhuz.com, Juventus are in contact with OGC Nice over the centre-back, with Pogba perfectly placed to talk his compatriot through life in Turin. While some outlets suggest Pogba could influence Todibo decision, I don’t think that will be a problem for United because Erik ten Hag wouldn’t sign a player who doesn’t want to play for us. Every new recruit has made it very clear that they made the…
As well all know by now, Kylian Mbappé is the main protagonist of the 2023 transfer window. The France captain has made it perfectly clear that he has no intention of extending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain beyond 2024, which means he would be able to leave the club for free next summer. In a failed attempt to force him to change his stance, the Ligue 1 champions left him out of their pre-season trhttps://soccerhuz.com/2023/08/03/barcelona-respon…is-saint-germain/ip to Japan and accepted a world-record bid from Al Hilal last week. Mbappé, however, refused to even speak to the Saudi Pro League side, leaving Real Madrid as his most likely…
The Reds still have work to do on their much-discussed midfield rebuild, despite the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai for £95m. With the recent exits of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia — and having already waved goodbye to James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – Liverpool are in need of further recruits in the middle of the park. Melissa Reddy reported this week that the 2019/20 Premier League champions are looking for ‘two profiles’ – a ‘progressive destroyer’ and a ‘controller’ – with Romeo Lavia (Southampton) and Andre Trindade (Fluminense) heavily linked. However, one report from Spain claims the Reds are in the…
Romelu Lukaku has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus ahead of a Chelsea exit this summer. Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter Milan and was eager to sign on permanently ahead of this season, but the Champions League finalists were unwilling to pay Chelsea’s asking price. Serie A rivals Juventus have since entered talks to sign Lukaku – and have now reached an agreement with the 30-year-old over a three-year deal, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. Juventus hope to land Lukaku as part of a swap deal which would see out-of-favour striker Dusan Vlahovic go the opposite way. However, the Old…
Chelsea have been warned that Dusan Vlahovic isn’t any better than Romelu Lukaku. The Juventus ace has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently as Mauricio Pochettino looks to further bolster his attack despite having already signed Nicolas Jackson this summer. Vlahovic, who sees his contract at the Allianz Stadium expire in 2026, featured 27 times for the Old Lady in the Serie A last season, finding the net ten times. Despite his misfortune in front of goal, the Serbia international has reportedly courted the interest of the Blues. “He’s not got a great burst of pace.…
Man City are arguably the finest club side around at present. Indeed, their treble last season is proof of that. However, Guardiola has never been one to sit still and a squad that conquered all before them has already undergone major change this summer Indeed, Ilkay Gundogan has joined Barcelona as a free agent, while Riyad Mahrez was lured to Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli to the tune of £30m. Kyle Walker remains the subjects of talks with Bayern Munich. However, the veteran full-back might not be the only big-name defender to leave the Etihad this summer. Indeed, Barcelona have…
Chelsea and Manchester City are still also confirmed as being interested in the talented young Frenchman, as per Romano in his tweet below, so it will be interesting to see if these clubs feel it’s worth meeting that clause or if they try negotiating a deal for slightly less than that… Olise is a skilful attacking midfielder who could be ideal to replace Riyad Mahrez at Man City, while Chelsea would also surely do well to bring in another attacking player after the departures of Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic, while Hakim Ziyech has struggled to impress and surely also…
