Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: Major Caicedo decision, Mbappe twist, Lavia bid, and Neymar request.

Check out the most recent Chelsea news, rumors, and gossip, including information on Moises Caicedo, Tyler Adams, and Dusan Vlahovic.

A key week for Chelsea will be spent finding Mauricio Pochettino two new midfielders in time for the Blues’ Premier League opener against Liverpool.

Chelsea is anticipated to submit their fifth offer in an effort to sign the 21-year-old Moises Caicedo, who has been the top target for the majority of the summer transfer window. Tyler Adams of Leeds is another name on their list, and negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming days.

Despite Brighton’s agreement in principle with the Dutch club, Chelsea is still vying for Ajax star Mohammed Kudus. Pochettino is reportedly hoping to bring in four new players before the window closes on September 1.

Huge decision is made by Caicedo.

By skipping Brighton’s Monday workout, Moises Caicedo has further demonstrated his desire to complete a transfer to Chelsea. The club’s CEO, Paul Barber, revealed that the 21-year-old’s absence from Brighton’s preseason match against Rayo Vallecano last week was due to an injury.

In a statement released by the team, he stated: “Moises was removed from the game due to a minor hamstring injury he suffered late in practice. It makes no sense to risk him today with the Premier League season starting in just one week. But when questioned about Caicedo following the 1-1 draw, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi was less circumspect about whether the injury was severe enough to keep him out of practice and also broached the subject of Caicedo’s future.

De Zerbi answered, “I’m not sure. “We will find another key player if Moisés leaves. I’ll be glad for us if Moises stays. The issue is not mine. At Brighton, it’s possible to lose some players, but we always advance. “.

After a bid was rejected, Chelsea was given the go-ahead to transfer Veiga.

Gabri Veiga, a Celta Vigo talent, is being chased by Napoli, along with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Before excelling at the Under-21 European Championships, the young Spaniard had a breakout 2022–2023 season.

With an opening bid of €30 million (£25 million), the Scudetto winners have now formally made their move for Veiga. However, Fabrizio Romano reports that the offer has been rejected. The player’s £34 million release clause has been stated as the minimum amount Celta Vigo will accept as an offer.

Neymar Transfer twist.

Neymar has reportedly informed his management team that he wants to leave PSG this summer, according to L’Equipe. The French team appears ready to lose Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar all at once, and the 31-year-old is said to be eager to return to Barcelona.

Almost two years must pass before he can leave for free because his contract is set to expire in 2025.

Shock Mbapped offer 

According to the Daily Record, Major League Soccer has started looking into the possibility of bringing Kylian Mbappe to the United States. Because they were successful in convincing Lionel Messi to choose Inter Miami over offers from Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League, MLS executives are now working to create a novel contract structure for Mbappe.

The report also states that the American action is both a short-term and long-term strategy. The MLS sought to close a deal quickly when PSG formally put Mbappe on the market last month.

The League sees the start of a long-term courtship of a potential Ballon d’Or winner in discussions over the specifics of the deal.

Pochettino Chelsea transfer wish

According to the Mail’s Transfer Confidential, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino “is expecting four new arrivals.”.

After speaking with Tyler Adams’ camp about a potential transfer from Leeds last week, the Blues are now prepared to step up their interest in him as they continue negotiations with Moises Caicedo.

Michael Olise of Crystal Palace is also of interest to Chelsea, and the Argentine is looking for another striker before the transfer window closes.

Dusan Vlahovic is another possibility, though Pochettino is reportedly not convinced by the Juventus forward. Elye Wahi, a transfer from Montpellier, has also been mentioned.

Vlahovic talks

According to Fabrizio Romano, talks have been set up between Chelsea and a third party to discuss the transfers of Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku.

According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino will be ultimately responsible because Juventus demand a £35 million transfer fee plus Lukaku in order to make a deal.
