Chelsea transfer news: Latest Blues media brief with reactions to stories about Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Man United move to Andre Onana

Double deal emerges

Chelsea are expected to finalize a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Blues have followed Ecuador since the January transfer window and have already seen a £60m ($76m) offer rejected this summer.

Sky Sports now say there is growing confidence Caicedo would be open to a move to Stamford Bridge, with personal terms not expected to be an issue.

Caicedo’s deal isn’t the only one on Todd Boehly’s midfield radar. The same report suggests that Romeo Lavia remains of interest between Arsenal and Liverpool. Brighton’s £80m ($101m) price tag for Caicedo means Boehly will have to pull out his checkbook again.

Add in the £40m ($51m) needed to sign Lavia and alongside Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea could have a dream partner for the Argentine with one of the Premier’s best midfield trios. League.

Signing a new midfielder is a top priority for Pochettino, especially after Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount left the club. However, with clubs interested in both Caicedo and Lavia, no one is sure Chelsea will win the race to sign them.

Man United’s Scupper goalkeeper plan

Manchester United have made their first move by signing Inter Milan goalkeeper and Chelsea target Andre Onana. The Cameroon international has long been linked with a move to the Premier League following his impressive performances last season.

United’s first move shot-stopper is said to be worth £39m ($50m), including add-ons. The move was prompted by Erik ten Hag due to their relationship with Ajax, although there is a gap in United’s appreciation of the player with Inter Milan.

The Italian giants want £51.4m ($65m) or their number one. At the moment it is unknown if Chelsea will try to make an offer close to that.

football.london says: The rivalry between Manchester United and Chelsea in the transfer market looks set to continue.

After Mount completes his move to Old Trafford on Wednesday, the aim appears to be to replace David De Gea.
Like Chelsea, United are desperate for a new goalkeeper.

Their opening bid is in danger of being rejected, giving the Blues a huge chance to sign Pochettino’s perfect goalkeeper themselves. Luckily the relationship between Inter and Chelsea is fine after the talks about Romelu Lukaku.

But if Chelsea are to beat their Premier League rivals for Onana, they will need to take the first step towards Inter’s appreciation for him.

It would be a disaster to lose their priority target after learning so early in the window with Manchester United how much they will have to pay to ruin a ‘perfect’ deal.

Chelsea have every incentive to sign the “next Zinedine Zidane,” With the initial $65 million offer being rejected.

Mauricio Pochettino’s ideal lineup for Liverpool, Rayan Cherki, and Dusan Vlahovic are discussed in the most recent Chelsea transfer news, which is covered by the Blues media.

According to reports, Juventus has turned down Chelsea’s offer for Dusan Vlahovic worth €60 million ($65 million). Following Kai Havertz’s transfer to Arsenal, the Blues are reportedly looking for a new number nine this summer.

Italian reports claim that Juventus swiftly rejected Chelsea’s initial offer for the Serbian striker. It is believed that the Italian powerhouses won’t sell until they are paid at least as much as they did for him from Fiorentina, which was £66.86 million ($84.86 million).

Despite this, the same report indicates that the Old Lady are considering a move for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund to replace Vlahovic.

The next player on Mauricio Pochettino’s list this summer appears to be Vlahovic, according to football.london. The Argentine’s frontline will undoubtedly improve with the addition of Nicolas Jackson, but the Argentine will undoubtedly prioritize a strong presence before the start of the season with Liverpool, just like the Serbian did.

Despite the number of departures that have been confirmed in the last ten days, Chelsea doesn’t lack for cash. Unfortunately for Todd Boehly, the club cannot make the same mistakes it did in the previous season or it will face another sale bonanza the following summer.

If Pochettino prefers Vlahovic as his preferred striker, the next offer must be more enticing for Juventus to accept in order to avoid engaging in yet another bidding war.

On the radar is a playmaker similar to Zidane.

Rayan Cherki, a playmaker for France’s Under-21 team and Lyon, is reportedly a player Chelsea are “exploring” the signing of.

Following his performances at the Under-21s European Championship this summer, Cherki won over a number of teams in Europe. The 19-year-old is a candidate for the Mason Mount spot at Chelsea, along with Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo and Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen.

Zinedine Zidane and Kylian Mbappe have previously given the Lyon player glowing recommendations. Cherki has even drawn comparisons to Zidane due to his attacking style and goal-scoring prowess in France.

It is reasonable to conclude that Chelsea’s plan to replace Mason Mount is a youthful one, according to football.London. At such a young age, Wirtz, Veiga, and Cherki have all advanced to senior status at their respective clubs, making them ideal candidates for years to come.

Todd Boehly may have made a wise business decision by signing Cherki. The midfielder, who can also play out wide at age 19, has the talent and versatility to elevate Pochettino’s squad for the upcoming campaign. Everything depends on the cost.

Similar to Chelsea, Lyon is not playing in Europe this year despite having a very bad season under Laurent Blanc. One potential way to reinvest in the playing group is by selling one of their best players.
