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.

‘On Monday,’ according to Fabrizio Romano, a Chelsea player is getting his medical clearance to leave today.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mason Mount, a midfielder for Chelsea, will have his medical at Manchester United today.He announced on Twitter that the deal had reached the last hurdle before both parties could declare it final.
With him personally pushing for a move away from Stamford Bridge, the past week or so has been crucial for the Mount deal.
This is in spite of rumors that the England international has been the subject of a more than competitive salary offer for some time.
The Blues initially turned down three offers from United because they still thought highly of him.
However, he only has a year left on his contract with West London, and the fact that he is unwilling to leave suggests that they may have been planning to get rid of him for nothing.
Mount medical today
After some negotiation, the two parties settled on a deal, and according to Romano, the player who had been called “unbelievable” is now scheduled to have a medical with his prospective new team.Mason Mount will have medical tests on Monday, after which he will finally sign a five-year contract to become a new Manchester United player, the speaker stated.
“Contract through June 2028 with a June 2029 extension option.
“To Chelsea, $55 million plus.
statement made this week.
”.The news will undoubtedly divide the fan base, with some looking to blame the new ownership structure at Stamford Bridge.
Some people, however, may not be happy to see the player return to the team next season because of his lack of loyalty.

Quick action is being taken by Liverpool to sign a star worth $38.6 million.
Liverpool is taking the transfer market seriously as they attempt to quickly recover from a disastrous previous season.Khephren Thuram’s name has been widely publicized for some time.
The midfielder is allegedly close to leaving Nice for Liverpool, according to a report we covered earlier in the day via Ouest-France.
Journalist Rudy Galetti claims that Liverpool are acting quickly to sign the 22-year-old star due to growing interest from Newcastle United.
The Merseysiders have been in negotiations to sign Thuram for some time, and they hope to overtake the Ligue 1 club’s asking price of about £38.6 million.
The talented player possesses all the necessary qualities to succeed at Anfield under the direction of Jurgen Klopp, a German manager.
The French international can successfully play anywhere in the middle of the park, according to The Athletic’s analysis of his playing style.
He prefers to hold the ball and move forward primarily in link-up play. Thuram might end up taking Gini Wijnaldum’s place at Liverpool.
We’ve been missing a player like the Dutch international in the midfield because of his unmatched ability to maintain possession of the ball in the face of pressure from multiple players.
We sincerely hope that Khephren Thuram will be our upcoming midfield acquisition.
Liverpool may use Dominik Szoboszlai’s strategy once more to outbid Real Madrid for the $32 million Virgil van Dijk heir.
Liverpool have signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig on a five-year deal worth £60m, so finding a replacement for Virgil van Dijk as a defender may be the Reds’ top priority going forward.Jürgen Klopp’s attention will shift to who will enter Anfield after him now that Dominik Szoboszlai has been confirmed as a Liverpool player. The midfielder has sign a five-year contract, according to The Athletic.
Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister have strengthened the midfield, so the focus may now shift to defense. If so, Liverpool may look to one of its former transfer hotspots.
Since Southampton’s re-entry into the Premier League in 2012, much has been made of the extent of Liverpool’s interactions with the Saints.
Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, and Rickie Lambert were three players they snatched up from St Mary’s in the summer of 2014, and Nathaniel Clyne would follow them to Anfield a year later.
And then came the two transactions that would genuinely transform Liverpool: the signings of Sadio Mané in 2016 and Virgil van Dijk 18 months later.
In the years that followed, Van Dijk went on to become arguably the best central defender in the world, but over the past year, it has become clear that Liverpool will soon need to find a replacement. This week, the Dutchman, who has been with Jol Matip for a long time, will turn 32.
Additionally, Liverpool may turn to Southampton as they look to add their next outstanding center-back.Last year, the Spanish publication Fichajes (via Sport Witness) claimed Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich were “closely watching” Armel Bella-Kotchap. It was claimed that Jürgen Klopp was an “admirer” of the 21-year-old and thought he had what it took to succeed Van Dijk.
Following Southampton’s relegation, the Telegraph is now reporting that Bella-Kotchap has a $32 million (£25 million/€ 29 million) release clause in his contract, and the Saints are willing to let him leave this summer despite the fact that he was one of the few players to stand out last season.
Bella-Kotchap should already be accustomed to the approach that Liverpool will take because former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl used an especially aggressive approach, placing his defenders high up the field and giving them plenty of room to defend.
The young player has previously stated that he studies Van Dijk’s style of play, complimenting the Dutchman for his “pretty no-nonsense game, hard but fair.”.
Bella-Kotchap’s performances against Chelsea and Manchester United in a span of three days were a large part of the buzz surrounding him last season.
In those two games, he won 13 of the 17 duels outright. He also made two last-man tackles and one goal-line clearance.
Following those performances, Frances Benali extolled his capacity to “take up great positions” and “recognize danger,” and Jermaine Jenas praised his “authority,” “aggression,” and leadership (via Hampshire Live).
This summer, Liverpool may have the perfect opportunity to repeat its Szoboszlai transfer ploy and activate Bella-Kotchap’s release clause because those qualities could make him the ideal successor to Van Dijk.

Chelsea handled Dusan Vlahovic transfer blow as Juventus answer to £51m offer
Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic in the summer transfer window, while Mauricio Pochettino is looking to overhaul the squadChelsea have suffered a major blow in the hunt for Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker is reportedly considering leaving the Italian giants this summer with the Blues among the clubs interested in signing the 23-year-old.
Mauricio Pochettino is eager to sign a new striker despite the arrival of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson this summer.
Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has revealed that Pochettino sees Vlahovic as the perfect man to take charge under his leadership.
Galetti told GIVEMESPORT: “The Blues could make a concrete move for the Serbian, above all because the next coach, [Mauricio] Pochettino, sees Dusan as the ideal striker for his tactical idea. The player likes the goal and a personal deal wouldn’t be a problem.
Vlahovic scored 14 goals in 42 games in all competitions for the Italian club last season – five more than Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling, who finished the season as the Blues’ top scorers.
The Serbian striker joined Juve in January 2022 after enjoying a successful spell at Fiorentina after turning down a Premier League transfer to Arsenal.The Gunners and Manchester United are among the clubs ready to compete with Chelsea for the signing of Vlahovic. Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are said to be interested in signing the 23-year-old.
A report from Italian outlet Corriere della Sera says Chelsea have made their first attempt at signing Vlahovic as Pochettino continues to search for a new striker following Jackson’s arrival from Villarreal in the summer.
The report adds that Juve have turned down a €60m (£51.5m) offer from Stamford Bridge for the former AC player.
The 23-year-old has three years left on his current contract at Juventus, but the Italian club could be ready to sell their star striker if he receives a transfer fee of around £77m, or £11m. pounds sterling more than was last paid to him.
year. According to Calciomercato, Vlahovic is looking forward to a new experience and his agent Darko Ristic has held talks with United, Arsenal and Chelsea over a possible move to England.

Chelsea signs Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson on eight-year deal.
Nicolas Jackson signs an eight-year contract with Chelsea; in exchange for better payment terms, the Blues paid Villarreal a little bit more than his £30 million release clause. Jackson is the Premier League club’s second summer acquisition after Christopher Nkunku, who cost $52 million.Villarreal’s Nicolas Jackson has been acquired by Chelsea.
The 22-year-old has signed an eight-year contract with Chelsea after Chelsea offered Villarreal slightly more than his £30.1 million release clause in exchange for more benevolent payment terms.
Following the £52 million acquisition of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, the Senegalese forward is Mauricio Pochettino’s second summer acquisition since he took over in May.
For Villarreal last season, Jackson scored 12 goals and contributed five assists across all competitions.
The Senegalese forward had a contract in place with Bournemouth for £22.5m, but he failed his medical due to a hamstring issue.“We are thrilled to welcome Nicolas to Chelsea,” said Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley. He is a young player with a lot of potential, as evidenced by his performance for Villarreal last year.
We think he’s prepared for this next phase of his career and are eager to see him collaborate with his Chelsea teammates and our new head coach, Mauricio Pochettino.
“.Jackson had a breakout season, and his late-season play earned him LaLiga player of the month honors in May. This helped Villarreal finish fifth and qualify for the Europa League.
At the World Cup in Qatar, he also played for Senegal, making his international debut against the Netherlands in a group-stage match.The “sliding doors” incident involving Jackson caused Chelsea to move.
Peter Howitt’s enduring motion picture Sliding Doors recently marked its 25th anniversary.
It follows Gwyneth Paltrow’s Helen and the two directions her life might go in based on whether or not she boards a train one day.
The Chelsea player on whom Mauricio Pochettino is pinning his hopes has already had his own Sliding Doors moment; Nicolas Jackson was still three years away from being born.
The 22-year-old was on the verge of joining Bournemouth from Villarreal in January, but the deal fell through due to doubts about a hamstring injury the player had sustained. Jackson’s South Coast medical was a failure.
The Cherries had in fact agreed to pay £21 million, but with relegation still a real possibility, they decided against taking a chance on Jackson’s status because they needed as many healthy players as possible.
Jackson would have dispelled those doubts with a scorching finish to the season for the Yellow Submarine, dispelling any worries that he would have primarily played wide of Dominic Solanke, formerly of Chelsea.

Five Dominik Szoboszlai moments before the Liverpool transfer: Klopp praise, Neymar response
Liverpool appear poised to finalize a transfer for Dominik Szoboszlai, and these are the career-defining moves of the Hungarian up until his move to Anfield.Dominik Szoboszlai’s transfer is nearing completion for Liverpool and he promises to be an exciting one for fans around the world. It is yet another potential midfield addition that could usher in Jürgen Klopp’s new era at Anfield.
Although he is only 22 years old, the Hungarian has had to take many steps forward in his career. He has already made 40 caps for the country and was awarded the national team armband, so he has a lot of experience.
And he’s already achieved some very important moments in his career, including a plethora of world-class goals that make him an entertaining highlight on YouTube.
Liverpool.com has set out to compile his top five career highlights leading up to his anticipated move to Anfield, with a deal to be confirmed in the next 24 hours (according to The Athletic).
In the spring of 2017, even in Hungary, few had heard of Dominik Szoboszlai. He had just moved to Red Bull Salzburg and was only 16 years old.
But in Hungary’s elite qualifying round at the Under-17 European Championship, the boy with the captain’s armband made a name for himself.
He started by scoring twice with two identical free kicks against Russia, and then the icing on the cake came in Hungary’s final game against Norway.
Hungary needed a win to qualify. Szoboszlai competed against his future friend and teammate in Salzburg, Erling Haaland.
Fast forward to extra time as the final minutes wind down and the game is tied. Szoboszlai receives the ball just outside the edge of the penalty area and deflects it into the top corner in the closing seconds of the game.
Hungary had not qualified for an under-17 tournament since 2006. That goal caused quite a stir in the Hungarian media and saw him promoted to under-21 and even trained with the senior side aged just 16.
Recognition of Klopp
A few years later, Dominik Szoboszlai moved up the ranks to Red Bull Salzburg to establish himself in the starting eleven. It’s 2019, Szoboszlai’s first ever season in the Champions League and he is faced with current champions Liverpool.
The experience made a big impression on Szoboszlai at the time, who played at a crowded Anfield in a spectacular 4-3 formation.
But he stood out even more in the second match in Salzburg, after which Klopp also noticed.
After that match, the Liverpool manager came forward to congratulate the Hungarian on his performance.“If someone like Klopp comes up to you after the final whistle and says ‘great job’, it means you’re probably on the right track,” Szoboszlai later told Nemzeti Sport.
He becomes a hero and rewrite history
A year later, aged just 20, Szoboszlai became a leading figure in the Hungarian national team and also in Salzburg.Returning from pandemic quarantine in renewed form, he has dominated matches for Salzburg at club level, while notching up some spectacular goals for Hungary in the Nations League, with his strike against Turkey being a case in point. However, the biggest moment of his career came in the play-off against Iceland for a place at Euro 2020.
The match seemed to be heading for a stalemate, much like against Norway in 2017. But in the dying embers, Szoboszlai came to power. Waltzing through a maze of Iceland defenders, he fired a shot from around 20 yards out that landed perfectly in the corner of the net.
At 20, Szoboszlai has just scored a goal that makes him an instant hero in Hungary. A few months later he made the big move to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
Overcoming Neymar’s provocations
In Leipzig, Szoboszlai had to rest briefly due to injury, but recovered under Jesse Marsch and became a major figure in the team.
One of the most defining moments of his Leipzig career was in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.
Szoboszlai was an early second-half substitute in that game and when Leipzig conceded a 92nd-minute penalty while trailing 2-1 to PSG, he was the Hungarian who stepped up to kick the ball .
As the VAR check continued, Szoboszlai had to resist the taunts and mind games of Neymar, who approached him and cheekily asked if he would score.
Szoboszlai’s response came immediately. He put the ball past the imposing Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG goal and secured an important point for his side.
As you can see below, when recounting that experience, Szoboszlai reacted with some confidence to Neymar’s taunts.
A goal in the DFB Cup
Szoboszlai’s crowning glory in Leipzig is the DFB Cup final at the start of the summer. He had already won the cup the previous season, but this time he played a much more crucial role.
The Hungarian scored twice in the semi-final and then scored the decisive goal in the final to lift the trophy against Eintracht Frankfurt. This was the first goal by a Hungarian in the German Cup final since Lajos Détári in the 1980s.
Szoboszlai is now a captain of the Hungarian senior team and is finishing the season strongly at club level, even scoring in a win against Bayern Munich. Szoboszlai has achieved a status few have in Hungarian football.
A move to Liverpool would make perfect sense at this stage of his career.

The big Chelsea news is that a world-class defender ‘has a high probability’ of moving after the Blues make changes.
Manchester City star and Chelsea target Aymeric Laporte have ‘concrete chances’ of securing his exit from the Etihad StadiumCHELSEA are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements this summer as Mauricio Pochettino look to further improve a side which struggled to keep their sheets clean last season.
And that has led to constant speculation in the media that Chelsea are monitoring a number of possible defenders until the end of the transfer window in a bid to fix a very big problem in the squad.
Shocking reports surfaced in the media over the weekend that Chelsea have contacted Man City over a possible deal for the impressive Laporte, who is one of the best defenders in world football.
Now journalist Rudy Galetti has claimed Laporte has a very good chance of sealing a Man City exit – although he believes Barcelona and Bayern Munich are leading the race for the star.
Galetti told GIVEMESPORT: “There are concrete chances that Laporte will leave Manchester City this summer.”
“Bayern are interested in him but their priority is to sign Kim Min-jae in early July and Barcelona are also on their way.”“The future of the Spanish centre-back, whose contract expires in 2025, has not yet been decided.”
It would be a huge shock if Laporte left the club despite being an integral part of the Man City squad – Pep Guardiole won’t want him to leave.
However, if the Spanish manager feels he cannot get the best out of Laporte in the future, a deal could be at stake.

Due to Chelsea’s £120 million transfer lesson from the sale of Mason Mount, Levi Colwill’s price has skyrocketed.
Chelsea transfer news: Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital’s selling of Mason Mount ranks among its worst decisions thus far, but losing Levi Colwill is worse.Chelsea is improving as a result of its errors.
It has come to light that similar efforts are being made to bind down Levi Colwill, just one day after agreeing to sell an academy graduate for the highest transfer fee ever paid for a player coming through Cobham.Brighton, who were impressed by the 20-year-old’s performances under Roberto De Zerbi last season, have already made two sizable offers to sign him. The Seagulls’ offers, at £40 million, would be higher than what Chelsea was offered for Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori.
These are currently the largest incoming prices for Cobham’s biggest exits, but Mason Mount is expected to bring in £55 million for his move to Manchester United, with the possibility that that sum could still increase to £60 million with add-ons reached.
It is evidence of both the high caliber of players being developed and the mistakes that were made along the way. Chelsea acquired Kalidou Koulibaly for £35 million on a four-year deal the same summer that Mount was sold, a development that seemed unthinkable even a year earlier.
Having sold Marc Guehi to Crystal Palace before making a first-team appearance for the club and Tomori for £25 million in 2021, it raises concerns over which players are kept and why.
However, an offer from the Saudi Pro League has helped them out of a hole with that one.Despite the fact that more than £300 million worth of attackers have been signed, Abraham demanded a higher fee when he joined Roma and no player has yet to match the 15 league goals he scored in 2019–20. Mount’s 11 last season is the closest they have gotten to matching Abraham’s totals after four years.
The same error needs to be steadfastly avoided now that Colwill is regarded as one of the best players to come through the academy and his loan spell at Huddersfield as a teenager was comparable to Reece James’ at Wigan. Losing Colwill is out of the question after selling Guehi and Tomori and returning to Thiago Silva as a viable option.
For Mauricio Pochettino’s inaugural season, the club wants to make him a crucial piece of the puzzle. There is no immediate need to act because he still has two years left on his initial contract and has the option of exercising an additional club option to extend it for another season.
Brighton is one of many teams interested in Colwill, but there is still a desire to show their allegiance to him before the preseason. He has reportedly been given a new, long-term contract by the club, according to the Evening Standard, but he won’t sign anything until he meets with Pochettino after his return from the Under-21 European Championships with England.
Colwill is already being discussed, in contrast to Mount, who entered the final two years of his contract without much progress toward improved and agreed-upon terms. It wasn’t until after last summer that Mount became a serious problem, at which point time was of the essence.According to Transfermarkt, the player’s value has increased significantly since he joined Huddersfield as a 19-year-old in 2022 for about £4million. However, the club’s decision to reject early bids from clubs across Europe shows where they stand as the summer transfer window approaches.
It is believed that losing Mount in these conditions was the biggest oversight made by the ownership to date. Perhaps a sign of how seriously this situation is being taken is that steps are being taken to prevent the same thing from occurring with a player who is thought to be even more promising than the 24-year-old.
Chelsea has learned from it, but it’s still too soon to be certain of the future until Colwill has extended his stay.

Liverpool is getting ready to spend £26 million on a “phenomenal” player next week.
Manu Kone, a French youngster who plays midfield for Borussia Monchengladbach, is reportedly a long-term target for Liverpool, and the Reds are reportedly preparing their move to sign him.The Merseyside giants plan to sign the 22-year-old talent this summer, according to Ouest-France. A bid is now anticipated to be made next week as Liverpool looks to continue their hiring drive after reaching an agreement to sign Dominik Szoboszlai.
Kone is regarded as one of the best midfield prospects in the Bundesliga and has been praised as a “phenomenal” player by former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. And this most recent development appears to suggest that Liverpool is now prepared to make their initial offer for the Gladbach youngster.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, the German team is only asking for €30 million (£26 million) for Kone this summer, a transfer fee that Liverpool will find to be very reasonable given the significant sums the Reds have already invested in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.In fact, if Liverpool does make a move to sign the Gladbach youngster, Kone will be a huge asset to the team at Anfield. Furthermore, the transfer might mark the conclusion of Jurgen Klopp’s massive summer effort to revamp the Reds’ midfield options.
It’s intriguing that Liverpool decided to pursue Kone over other targets.
Kone has been covered by the Liverpool media for what seems like ages. Although there appears to be legitimate interest in the midfielder, few fans would have foreseen that the Gladbach player would be the target for which the Reds make a specific move this summer.
As is well known, recent weeks have seen strong rumors of transfers to Liverpool involving players like Khephren Thuram and Ryan Gravenberch. The Anfield side’s decision to sign Kone is an intriguing one based on what is available in the market, especially given their physical stature and distinguished reputations abroad.

Henderson adores the “fantastic” PL center-back Liverpool could still make a move for.
This summer, Liverpool might try to sign Chelsea center-back Levi Colwill.Colwill has been associated with the Reds since the middle of the previous campaign. The 20-year-old will not, however, be sold, according to Chelsea. And the Evening Standard has reiterated that position once again today.
Colwill’s most likely final destination, should he decide to leave Stamford Bridge, is currently thought to be Brighton. The Standard asserts that any attempt to include Colwill in that deal will be rejected because the two clubs are scheduled to meet in the coming days to discuss Moises Caicedo.
Contrary bidders may not yet be deterred despite this steadfast and transparent stance. Two candidates who could still make an offer for the England U-21 international are Liverpool and Manchester City.
The events of the upcoming days may determine whether they do or not. Colwill is reportedly waiting to speak with new manager Mauricio Pochettino before accepting a contract offer from Chelsea, despite having one on the table.
The young defender reportedly wants assurance regarding playing time as Pochettino is scheduled to begin his job on Monday.
If everything goes as planned, he appears to agree.
If not, perhaps Liverpool will notice a chance.Colwill is waiting for crucial discussions.
There seems to be quite the rush to secure Colwill if he does become actively available during this window.His two seasons playing on loan have been excellent. Lewis O’Brien praised him as “fantastic” during his time at Huddersfield in 2021/22 after he displayed his talent with Brighton in the Premier League the previous season [Yorkshire Live].
Another admirer of Colwill is Jordan Henderson, who spoke highly of him while Colwill was in a recent England training camp.
However, if the youngster is looking for playing time, Liverpool is not the place for him right now. The Reds are undoubtedly looking for a left-footed center back in Colwill’s mold, but that would be a more long-term solution.
Ibrahima Konate is currently his obvious partner because Virgil van Dijk isn’t leaving just yet.
They will have to accept that if any left-sided defender does move to Anfield this summer.
We don’t see how Colwill’s concerns about joining the Reds would be allayed after hearing the specifics of his Chelsea situation. We wouldn’t mind seeing it happen, but let’s wait to get excited until after the outcome of his discussions with Poch.

Christian Pulisic has been linked to an unlikely move to a Champions League newcomer and could pull off the unthinkable.
Germany’s capital and largest city, Berlin, has historically lagged behind teams from Bavaria and the Rhineland in athletic competition.Because of this, Union Berlin’s ascent to the Champions League could signify a true change in the guard. Their emergence last season was truly surprising.
They urgently need to increase their squad depth and bring in some top tier players if they are to make the most of it, like all teams that reach Europe’s top table for the first time do.
Because of this, they have been linked to Christian Pulisic, who most likely wouldn’t have thought about moving to Union while he was a rising star at Borussia Dortmund and they were in the 2. Bundesliga, but may need to give it some serious thought going forward.
According to reports from Germany cited by Sport Witness, Union will make an attempt to acquire Pulisic after selling Sheraldo Becker to West Ham, a deal that is currently being finalized. The American winger’s response is unknown, but Chelsea will undoubtedly be pleased to see some genuine transfer interest in their unwanted asset, who has in essence been on the transfer list for a year.

After Chelsea accept their catastrophic loss, Inter Milan’s transfer strategy for Romelu Lukaku is revealed.
Romelu Lukaku is expected to leave Chelsea this summer, according to the latest transfer rumors from Chelsea. Inter Milan is interested in re-signing the striker.Romelu Lukaku of Chelsea may soon make his first move, according to Inter Milan. Following his time with them in 2022–2023, the Italian superpowers are reportedly interested in re-signing Lukaku this summer.
Lukaku is a player that Chelsea would rather sell than loan out again. The 30-year-old was loaned back to Milan last summer after his return to the Premier League in 2021, which cost £97.55 million, fell short of expectations.
The club has acknowledged that they will undoubtedly lose money on the acquisition of Lukaku, despite last month’s reports that the sum of £34 million might be sufficient to complete the transaction.
According to a recent report from Tutto Mercato Web, Inter plans to use the money gained from Marcelo Brozovic’s transfer to Al-Nassr to pay for a long-term transfer for Lukaku. I Nerazzurri will concentrate on using the money to structure a deal after the Croatian midfielder last week agreed to a £15 million deal with the Saudi Arabian team.
A new meeting between Chelsea and Inter is reportedly scheduled for next week, according to the Italian report. Following ongoing rumors linking the goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge, discussions regarding Andre Onana’s situation may also include a move for Lukaku.Recently, Giuseppe Marotta, the manager of Inter Milan, has kept quiet about the possibility of bringing in Lukaku this summer. Let’s not forget that the decision to sign Lukaku was made by Chelsea’s previous owners, he said.
“The new owners must therefore decide whether Lukaku fits into their project and future plans. Their approach will adjust if he is not.
“It goes without saying that they cannot consider selling him for a high price. The Saudi Arabian offer, I believe, was around €50 million (£43 million), which is still a considerable distance from the €115 million (£ 99 million) Chelsea fee that we received. “.
I don’t want to get into the dynamics, he added. On the goals we’ve established, we’re working as a team. I think a director should be ambitious and not be ashamed to set high goals, but the deals ultimately depend on the compensation and the individual terms.
We will assess everything over the coming days while keeping sustainability in mind. ”.

Dominik Szoboszlai is acquired by Liverpool in a £60 million deal from RB Leipzig.
Dominik Szoboszlai was a target for Newcastle, but when it became clear that he would be moving to Anfield, it eliminated all other potential suitors. The midfielder finished his Merseyside medical earlier on Sunday and is Liverpool’s second summer addition.Dominik Szoboszlai has been acquired by Liverpool for £60 million from RB Leipzig. The midfielder signed a five-year deal that runs through 2028.
Newcastle had also expressed interest in the 22-year-old midfielder, but once Szoboszlai made it clear that he wanted to join Liverpool, it eliminated all other potential suitors.
Friday’s agreement by Liverpool to activate his £60 million release clause marked a significant development in the negotiations.
Szoboszlai had a medical on Merseyside on Saturday and Sunday, and if he receives a work permit, he will join Alexis Mac Allister as Liverpool’s second summer addition after Brighton, who was acquired for an initial £35 million.
Szoboszlai, like Mac Allister, is regarded by Liverpool as a versatile midfielder who offers tactical versatility because of his capacity to operate in a variety of roles and formations.
He can play either the number 8 or number 10 position, according to Jurgen Klopp, and he can also play either wide position.At Anfield, there is no denying Szoboszlai’s skill, positive attitude, and ability to play anywhere in the middle of the field are all valued. He also possesses the ball-carrying skills and impressive chance-creation metrics that Liverpool is looking for.
The team looked at a variety of options as they sought to improve the technical proficiency, dynamism, and depth in midfield.
Due to his similar value, age, and versatility, Liverpool thought Szoboszlai was a better option than Mason Mount, who will undergo a medical with Manchester United early next week. Liverpool believed that the release clause would make it simpler to finalize the deal for Szoboszlai.
Szoboszlai, who was elected captain of Hungary at the age of 22 by his international teammates, is regarded by Liverpool as a natural leader and a player of considerable maturity despite his youth.
After following Szoboszlai’s progress in the Bundesliga and hearing positive feedback from friends and former coworkers in Germany, Klopp eventually made Szoboszlai a top priority.
An inflated market, particularly for midfielders, and the absence of Champions League revenue or a major player sale are all factors contributing to Liverpool’s biggest shake-up under Klopp.
The primary factors being evaluated are affordability, availability, and the desire to revive Liverpool as a domestic and European force.Szoboszlai is the seller’s market value pick.
Ben Grounds of Sky Sports:.
“Liverpool are looking for deals in a summer that has seen Jude Bellingham potentially become the most expensive British footballer of all time, Declan Rice commanding a fee north of £100 million, and Mason Mount is worth upwards of £55 million.
“Alexis Mac Allister, 24, a World Cup champion, arrived early and fits the type of player Jurgen Klopp is looking for.
“Dominik Szoboszlai fits the same description. The Hungary captain, who is still only 22, has room to grow.
In a recent European Qualifier match against Montenegro, Szoboszlai’s superior performance stood out despite the match’s goalless outcome and general forgettability.
The Premier League is now his next stop because he was at ease on that Podgorica pitch’s constrictive spaces.
“The DFB-Pokal Cup victory over Eintracht Frankfurt felt like a fitting way to cap off Szoboszlai’s 10 goals and 13 assists from the previous campaign.
“And although there might have been some leverage given that Fabio Carvalho signed a season-long loan agreement with RB Leipzig on Friday, talks on the 20-year-old’s deal were held separately.
“Szoboszlai may well turn out to be the smart choice in a sellers’ market. “.
What is Szoboszlai going to bring?
Andy Brassell, an authority on European football, appeared on The Transfer Show.“Szoboszlai is a very talented player, and he is prepared for the Premier League. He goes box-to-box, puts in a ton of work, is an incredible athlete, has great technique, loves to take shots from outside the box, can score goals and set them up for teammates, and enjoys taking ownership of moving a team forward.
He will make Liverpool’s midfield more dynamic, which was lacking last season.
“.Sky Sports will be your source for summer transfer news.
Who will be moving this summer before the transfer window closes on September 1 at 11 p.m. in England and midnight in Scotland?

There are 5 things to know about Diego Moreira, the newest addition to Chelsea.
Diego Moreira, a winger for the Portugal Under-21 team, has been officially signed by Chelsea from Benfica. He is 18 years old.Following the acquisitions of forwards Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal and Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, as well as the permanent transfer of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to AC Milan, Moreira’s arrival at the club is on a free transfer.
The Portuguese winger, who moved to Benfica from Standard Liege in 2020, was instrumental in the team’s 2022 UEFA Youth League victory after contributing with two assists in the championship game, which saw Salzburg defeated 6-0. .
The new Chelsea signing is important to be aware of the following five things.
Moreira was born in Belgium in 2004 to a father who was both Portuguese and a native of Guinea-Bissau. He is therefore qualified to represent both Portugal and Belgium.
Diego Moreira is the grandson of German-born footballer Helmut Graf, who also played for the Belgian club from 1976 to 1982 and whose father, former Guinea-Bissau international Almami Moreira, played professionally for Standard Liege.
After Moreira relocated to Lisbon, Portugal, where his father resided in 2020, his football career really took off.
He began playing for the under-23 team in the Liga Revelaço after signing a professional contract with Benfica in the middle of the 2020–21 campaign. He made his professional debut for Benfica B the following season and established himself as a regular starter for the U23 squad.
Moreira made his debut for the Benfica first team in a 2-0 league victory at Pacos Ferreira in May 2022, when he was introduced as a vivacious figure. When he entered the game in a Champions League qualifying match against Midtjylland last August, he added more time to his tally.
Moreira, a talented 18-year-old with quick feet, has a lot of skill and potential. Moreira, who made his senior debut in May 2022 against Pacos de Ferreira, has 64 appearances under his belt and has tallied 10 goals and 11 assists.

It sounds as though Loftus-Cheek was equally well-liked in the locker room as he was in the crowd.We will undoubtedly wish him success in the renowned red and black in Milan.
With so many members of the squad departing, it really does feel like Chelsea is starting a new chapter.
Hopefully, Mauricio Pochettino, our new head coach, will be the ideal leader to turn things around and get us back to competing at the highest level.
