Chelsea Transfer News: The latest Blues headlines and gossip with stories from Mason Mount, Angelo Gabriel, Mauricio Pochettino and more. Chelsea’s morning transfer wrap-up on Friday 30 June.

Chelsea will finalize a deal to sign Santos teenager Angelo Gabriel this summer. The forward will complete a £15million move to Stamford Bridge and continue a youth recruitment campaign under the club’s stewardship.

Due to his position, age and origins with Brazilian giant Santos, the comparison to Neymar is obvious and the head coach has already made the same statement when it comes to his style of play.

One explanation for his obvious talents is that he became the youngest player ever to appear for Santos in the Copa Libertadores, beating the record held by current Real Madrid star Rodrygo. The 18-year-old and a player for the successful Santos side when he was just 15, he has already made 129 senior appearances.

Only Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez are expected to remain in the midfield squad to get 2022/23 minutes for Chelsea. Carney Chukwuemeka’s role in the future, combined with the expected sales and departures of five key players, makes quite a change.

In total, the Blues are set to receive £108m for the sale of Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic, while N’Golo Kante has also left the club after his contract expired.

Jorginho also left the club in January as the gap kept growing. It is now the area that most needs rebuilding for Pochettino as he looks to bring in some established names in the coming weeks.

Chelsea and Manchester United have agreed on a price for Mason Mount. The Red Devils are paying £55m plus possibly £5m in add-ons for the midfielder after three rejected offers.

Having rejected the most recent offer, worth £50m and £5m in add-ons, it was thought United might simply walk away from the talks and Mount would remain at Stamford Bridge, but both sides were keen to cross the line, they have now agreed to a fee.

against payment. Mount, who will now finalize personal terms and undergo a pre-agreement medical, will depart with just a year to go after winning the Champions League with his youth club.

Chelsea is interested in Dusan Vlahovic in a swap trade, after making a “sensationally wrong” choice

New Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino could welcome a slew of new players to Stamford Bridge this summer, with former Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic on the agenda

Chelsea are interested in sending Romelu Lukaku to Juventus in a trade-in for former Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic.

The Blues are currently in the midst of a dramatic rebuild at Stamford Bridge and a large number of players are on the verge of leaving the club. N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have already signed a transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Forward Lukaku could have joined them in moving to the Gulf state after a loan spell at Inter Milan, but he turned down the chance to move.

Chelsea are still keen to transfer their previous record signing and Juventus could be an option. According to The Telegraph, the Blues would be interested in signing the Serbian striker Vlahovic and in exchange could send Lukaku to Turin. Both forwards had difficult seasons in Italy last season.

The Chelsea loan man scored just 14 goals in all competitions during his return to the San Siro, and the Juventus star equaled that tally. It represents a huge drop in form, with the Italian giants investing £66m 18 months ago to sign Vlahovic from Fiorentina and beat Arsenal for his services.

Former AC Milan and Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano has criticized Vlahovic for choosing to sign for Juventus. Speaking to Bobo TV, he said: “In my opinion, [Vlahovic’s decision] is blatantly wrong.

For the type of player, I think he has to make an intermediate step towards a team like Arsenal, Tottenham or Sevilla, who have signed.” [Anthony] Martial For me he has always been a B player.

“This is a huge step for him, playing with Fiorentina is something else. For him it’s a very important step, but above all a risky one.” It’s not enough for Juve to do what you did at Fiorentina.

“It’s not enough to score 15 goals, 20 goals. At Juve, every game has to be crucial. It’s a dangerous burden for him. He had to take the next step, but not two steps, at Juve you have to score at least 30 goals, goals per season and you have to bring achievements and titles home. “I don’t see him as a Juve player.

He’s a Serb, a special character, I don’t think he fits well in the Juve dressing room, that’s my opinion.”

Vlahovic’s contract at the Allianz Stadium lasts for another three years, while Lukaku’s contract with Chelsea does not expire until the summer of 2026. In light of Cassano’s claim, Vlahovic insists he has made the right decision to join Juventus.

He said: “I only had one club in mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing more to say.” And now I feel honored to have this shirt.

It feels amazing every time I wear it.
“I definitely identify with their DNA. The personality of Juventus coincides with my personality. When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. It was definitely what I was looking for.
