Chelsea news: Todd Boehly has given Michael Olise an incentive while Kylian Mbappe has sent a transfer request.

Get the latest information on Todd Boehly, Kylian Mbappe, and Moises Caicedo among the biggest Chelsea headlines.

Olise incentive

In order to pursue their interest in Crystal Palace starlet Michael Olise, Chelsea have been given the ideal motivation. Following news that Brighton and Hove Albion and Ajax have reached an agreement in principle for Kudus, the Blues may be forced to continue pursuing their interest in the Crystal Palace star.

The Seagulls have developed a reputation for doing exquisite transfer business in recent years, but as their first season in Europe approaches, Roberto De Zerbi’s team has been forced to make significant summer spending. Joao Pedro’s transfer from Watford broke their club record transfer fee, and they are now on pace to break the £30 million barrier with a fee of £34 point 5 million for Kudus.

The transaction is still far from being completed.
The 23-year-old’s potential departure from Chelsea gives Boehly more motivation than ever to sign Olise.

Maatsen boost

Although Pochettino is still trying to sign Caicedo, his most recent move may help the Blues avoid spending millions of dollars on Caicedo. The Chelsea manager has informed Ian Maatsen, according to the Evening Standard, that he wants to keep him at Stamford Bridge for the remainder of the season.

Before returning to Chelsea and making an impression in preseason, the Cobham graduate spent the previous season on loan at Championship champion Burnley. Maatsen is a player the club can consider as they try to bolster their engine room ranks because he can play in central midfield and was used further forward during the tour of the United States despite primarily playing at left-back.

The need for a new winger and central midfielder is reduced by keeping Maatsen at the club because he can fill those roles, which could theoretically help Chelsea save a sizable sum of money if they match Brighton’s asking price for Caicedo. The 21-year-old has Pochettino so impressed that new contract negotiations are also expected, allowing Chelsea to direct their funding toward other areas that Maatsen won’t cover.

Mbappe update 

According to a report, Chelsea “rules out” signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.

Christopher Nkunku’s (expected) injury layoff, the extent of which is still unknown at this time, has allowed for some wild transfer speculation over the past 24 hours, including such gems as Chelsea bringing back Joo Félix for another loan (because the first one was such a rousing success obviously) or Chelsea spending untold millions on more attacking players, such as Michael Olise, Mohammed Kudus, or, and this is the really fun one, Neymar (not-so-).

According to reports in France, PSG is still interested in getting rid of Neymar, especially since Kylian Mbappé is anticipated to follow Lionel Messi out of the door. Smarties are better, so no more M-N-Ms for the good people of Paris.

Though Neymar appears to favor a return to Barcelona, the Premier League is where the money is (aside from the Saudi Pro League, of course), and the player prefers to remain in Europe.

According to those reports, talks have allegedly been taking place between Chelsea and Neymar. However, the Evening Standard claims that this is complete nonsense because Chelsea has already “ruled out” the possibility. Neymar doesn’t fit the market m.o we currently have. neither our pay structure. Sadly, the report also mentions Kylian Mbappé. Despite spending a significant amount of time working successfully and productively with Neymar at PSG, Mauricio Pochettino is rumored to have concurred that this idea is a “non-starter.”.

More news…..

Chelsea contacts the relegated Leeds star and is prepared to trigger the player’s release clause.

According to reports, Chelsea has contacted Tyler Adams, a midfielder for Leeds United, and is prepared to trigger his relegation release clause.

Prior to the start of the upcoming Premier League season, manager Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to bolster his midfield lineup. However, he has been unsuccessful in finding suitable replacements thus far.

Paris Saint-Germain beat the Blues to the signing of Manuel Ugarte at the beginning of the summer, and Brighton is still putting up a fight for Moises Caicedo, who is a top target for them.

Adams was recently mentioned as a possible replacement for the Ecuadorian in Chelsea’s transfer plans, but it now seems the club wants both players.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Adams’ representatives have been contacted by the west London club’s hierarchy, who is also looking into the deal’s price.

The transfer for Adams is being treated separately from Caicedo negotiations, and the American captain is not just seen as a backup option but rather as someone who can add depth and competition to the midfield.

Adams, who was released by RB Leipzig last summer, is now available for just £20 million following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League.

The Daily Mail even claims that Chelsea’s interest has grown to the point where they are prepared to trigger his release clause.

Pochettino prefers to have at least one new midfielder in before next Sunday’s game, but any deal for Caicedo is unlikely to be finished in time with just one week until the Blues face Liverpool in their opening game of the season.

Because Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were all sold, N’Golo Kante left on a free transfer, leaving Chelsea with few options in the midfield.

Last weekend, when asked if the team was still looking for a midfielder, Pochettino responded, “I think we’re still talking about needing an experienced midfielder, yes.”.

With 14 appearances in the Champions League and 75 appearances in the Bundesliga prior to his season in the Premier League with Leeds, Adams, 24, undoubtedly brings a wealth of experience to the table. He has 36 caps for the USA as well.

Adams’ release clause would need to be paid in full, which would be different from Chelsea’s usual purchasing strategy since they typically spread out the cost of transfers over several years.
