Chelsea will now beat Barcelona in to £25m deal in the coming days

Reports from Spain claim that Chelsea are now set to beat Barcelona following the signing of Gabriel Moscardo.

According to Sport, a deal worth just over £25m will soon be signed for him to join the Blues in the coming days.

Moscardo is a 17-year-old central midfielder who has already put some big teams on notice after some of his midfield appearances for Corinthians.

Chelsea’s interest in signing the youngster became evident just days before the end of the summer transfer window.

The desire to bring him in stems from Todd Boehly’s expressed desire to sign some of the best young players in the world before they reach their true potential.

Chelsea want to beat Barcelona against Moscardo

Whether their main objective is to perform at Stamford Bridge or sell it for a profit, there is no denying that they have fully executed their strategy.

Major acquisitions to date include Andrey Santos, Cesare Casadei and Deivid Washington.
The latter was on the bench in the last Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.

However, the front two are now enjoying good loan spells and both will have the chance to once again prove they are good enough after solid pre-season preparation.

It looks like another midfielder could join them in Moscardo.

This despite Barcelona being particularly obsessed with signing the player, determining that he could have been the long-term heir to the recently deceased Sergio Busquets.

What the Nottingham Forest supporters chanted at Nicolas Jackson following his Saturday miss for Chelsea

What Nottingham Forest fans sang to Nicolas Jackson after his Chelsea absence on Saturday

Nottingham Forest fans have reportedly gone mad after Nicolas Jackson’s big defeat to Chelsea on Saturday night.

According to The Athletic, away fans chanted “What a waste of money” as they headed to their famous victory at Stamford Bridge.

A difficult afternoon for Jackson ended with just seven minutes remaining when he was presented with the best chance of the game to get Chelsea into trouble again.

When Raheem Sterling cleared the ball from right field, he hit a high shot from inside the six-yard box.

Those few seconds perfectly summed up a nightmarish afternoon in west London.
There wasn’t much praise for the home players.

Paul Merson has been impressed by Enzo Fernandez, one of Chelsea’s most expensive signings.

Jackson mocked by Forest fans

However, it is difficult to look beyond the fees paid to some first-team players who have yet to see results.

Mauricio Pochettino is now more than aware of just how big a job he has in trying to get Chelsea back into European football next season.

It could be the result of a change in lineup, something fans have been actively pushing for since the start of the Premier League season.
During the pre-season, the coach used an exciting 4-2-3-1 formation which showcased the team’s strengths.

However, three centre-backs have started competitive matches and current captain Ben Chilwell had a much more attacking position.

Reece James now responds inaudibly to what Chelsea did just before deadline.

Reece James responded to the news that Callum Hudson-Odoi, a recent academy graduate, had left Chelsea on social media.

One of the first team’s longest-tenured players was transferred to Premier League team Nottingham Forest, and he left a single sad emoji comment on the former player’s Instagram.

After a long summer of rumors that he would be moving on, Hudson-Odoi’s departure from the club was finally confirmed yesterday.

Last season, they tried one last loan to the Bundesliga in an effort for him to regain the form that helped him break into the team in the first place.

However, under Xabi Alonso, things did not go well, and he actually left Bayer Leverkusen before his loan was supposed to end.

When Hudson-Odoi sold, James was devastated.

Under Mauricio Pochettino, a path back to the first team appeared to be very difficult to see.
He wasn’t a part of the team that traveled to the US for the preseason tour.

Many Premier League teams were rumored to be interested in signing the player, but Forest sealed the deal for a pittance.

James expressed his regret over Hudson-Odoi’s departure on his former teammate’s Instagram story.
James and Hudson-Odoi were friends for many years as they progressed through the academy.

The attacker might not have to wait long, though, as Chelsea is scheduled to play Forest in the league today.

Cole Palmer might make his debut for his new team during this game as Chelsea looks to extend its winning streak at home in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s double agreement is “close” as Mauricio Pochettino completes the first phase of his transfer strategy.

As Mauricio Pochettino completes the first phase of his transfer strategy, a double deal involving Chelsea is “close.”.

Chelsea still have a ton of work to do before the end of August, but Mauricio Pochettino’s project at Stamford Bridge is finally starting to take shape.

As Chelsea is expected to close two more deals before the transfer window closes, Mauricio Pochettino has advanced to the next phase of his rebuilding effort. The challenging task of conducting a clean-out at Stamford Bridge was given to co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley before the summer.

Many prominent players have already been cut from the first team; among those who have moved on are Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, and Mason Mount. While Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic both joined AC Milan, N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy boarded a plane for Saudi Arabia.

While Cesar Azpilicueta, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Abdul Rahman Baba all made free transfers to new clubs in Europe, Ethan Ampadu signed a contract with Leeds United. Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech have been excluded from preseason first-team practices even though Chelsea has not yet sold either player.

Following the release of twelve players from the books, Pochettino began the next phase of his meticulous rebuild, one that the Blues may be all too familiar with: reviving the infamous loan system. The process began when David Datro Fofana signed with Union Berlin, and it continued when Angelo Gabriel signed with sister-club Strabourg.

Teddy Sharman-Lowe and Charlie Webster have also joined Heerenveen and Bromley, respectively, before they return to Cobham the following year to force their way into the Chelsea manager’s plans. There are two more deals in the works now that the loan system is operating effectively once more at Stamford Bridge.

Lewis Hall is reportedly close to signing a season-long loan agreement with Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Mail. The 18-year-old might even be available to play against Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon, according to the report, which claims that the transfers are “on the verge of being agreed.”.

Hall performed well during the preseason, but he had to beat out Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell for a spot in the starting lineup. Even Ian Maatsen, who appears poised to take center stage for Chelsea this season, was frequently pushed farther out to make room for the England international.

Hall will have another opportunity to show why he belongs in the Blues starting lineup at Selhurst Park, and by then Pochettino may have decided against Cucurella, who hasn’t been particularly impressive lately. Of course, another loan—that of Cesare Casadei—is the second deal that is rumored to be close.

Genoa and Leicester City have requested that Chelsea loan out the 20-year-old midfielder to them this season, according to a report from Sky Italy, which was cited by Football Italia. Following his impressive performances for Italy at the Under-20s World Cup, Casadei has received a lot of attention.

Before Uruguay stopped them in their tracks, Casadei, who switched from the San Siro to Stamford Bridge last summer, led his nation to the final in Argentina. Despite failing at the very last hurdle, he had a fantastic tournament, winning both the player of the tournament award and the golden boot.

Then, this summer in the United States, he performed well with the first team. However, it might be difficult for him to get playing time given that Tyler Adams and Moises Caicedo are reportedly on Chelsea’s shortlist. At this point, a loan seems like the best course of action for him.

To choose his ideal Enzo Fernandez partner, Mauricio Pochettino had to make two Chelsea transfer decisions.

In advance of Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League season, football.London examines in great detail how Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei have performed during preseason thus far.

When Chelsea plays Liverpool later this month, a few players must be listed on the team roster.

Reece James belongs to one of them. Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill are required as the center back duo. Perhaps, however, with the support of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, who both had a strong preseason, you would say that there is only one player left who is certain to face the Reds.

Naturally, that is Enzo Fernandez. The Argentina international has been simply sensational since joining the Premier League. He joined from Benfica for a record-breaking £106 million fee in the January transfer window.

When Mauricio Pochettino was questioned over the weekend about how unique it is to have Enzo Fernandez, he answered, “Always it is a pleasure. “I am so proud of him because he is a world champion for Argentina, a fantastic player, and a fighter as well.

“I am from Argentina, and I was happy for them when they won the World Cup. Having a player like him on the team is a pleasure. “.

There aren’t many people in the world better in their position than Fernandez, but finding him a partner for Chelsea this summer has proven to be a significant challenge. The Blues are still in talks with Brighton about a deal to sign Moises Caicedo, but as has been widely reported, they have been utterly unsuccessful in getting the Seagulls to agree to a price.

Brighton has already declined three offers from Chelsea, the most recent of which is thought to be worth a total of £80 million in football. London comprehends. Chelsea won’t give up on trying to sign the Ecuadorian international, but discussions about what they can do in the interim while negotiations are ongoing have taken place behind the scenes.

Possibilities for Pochettino include Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei, who both played significant roles during Chelsea’s preseason tour of the United States. Especially impressive is Santos, a 19-year-old.

The young Brazilian star played the first 45 minutes of Landover’s 2-0 victory against Fulham, starting alongside Enzo. Both Santos’ off-the-ball work and his thoughtful, progressive passing while in possession of the ball were impressive.

Despite still being a teenager, he reads the game so well and has an impressively high football IQ. Despite the fact that he has not yet played for the club in a competitive match, it is believed that those at Chelsea have been extremely impressed with what they have seen from him so far.

Santos also receives the ball on the half-turn, which is essential when playing in such a position. He doesn’t hesitate to dribble with the ball toward opposing midfielders before releasing control at the last moment, which obviously creates a lot of opportunities for the Chelsea attack by forcing an opponent out of position.

Casadei has, however, revealed glimmers of his undeniable talent. Though it appears that playing in a double pivot in Pochettino’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation somewhat restricts his offensive abilities, the Italian midfielder may be better suited for an attacking position. He might not possess the technical skills necessary to sit in the pivot, which Santos and Enzo both possess in spades.

In addition, Chelsea intends to loan Casadei out once more this campaign after his previous loan to Championship club Reading. Early interest in the 20-year-old midfielder came from newly promoted Championship team Leicester City, but Chelsea would prefer to see the talented Italian play in the Premier League.

Casadei was of the school that believed a substantial loan period was necessary for him to continue developing going into the summer transfer window and the preseason tour of the United States. If Chelsea is successful in matching the Italian Under-20 international with the appropriate club, Pochettino and co. would consider their options and look at him again the following summer.

Chelsea is currently prepared to reject four offers to sign their £12 million player, Fabrizio Romano.

To take Cesare Casadei on loan for the upcoming season, Chelsea is now prepared to reject four offers from Championship clubs.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano, a reputable source, claims as much.

Cesare Casadei, just 20 years old, is a promising young player who cost the Blues £12 million last summer (Guardian).

What does the future hold for the Italian midfielder who spent last season with Chelsea’s Under-21 team before going on a brief loan to Reading?

This week, Gianluca Di Marzio asserted that Leicester City had asked Chelsea if they could temporarily sign Casadei to help them achieve their goal of leaving the Championship.

However, it appears that the 20-year-old won’t be moving down to the second division.

Romano claimed on Twitter that Chelsea would reject four different Casadei offers from Championship teams.

The Blues would much rather the box-to-box midfielder gets to continue his development in the Premier League or Serie A next season.

Despite four loan proposals from Championship clubs, Cesare Casadei’s plans for next season are for Premier League or Serie A football, Romano said.

The final decision will be made in conjunction with Chelsea, but that kind of move will be given priority. ”.

Although we can understand why Casadei might face more pressure at a higher level the following year, Leicester will undoubtedly enter the Championship season as one of the strong favorites to be promoted.

The Athletic previously stated that when Casadei first joined the club, he impressed everyone at Chelsea’s first-team practice.

We can’t wait to see where he plays in the upcoming season.

Chelsea and Liverpool may suffer significant losses as Man City looks to sign Declan Rice to a new contract

Manchester City could put a damper on Chelsea and Liverpool’s transfer hopes this summer.

Chelsea and Liverpool could be the big losers as Manchester City opt out of signing Declan Rice. Pep Guardiola reportedly interested in signing Spanish midfielder Gabri Veiga as West Ham’s alternate captain

City were considered candidates to sign Rice last week. With Arsenal’s first two offers rejected, the treble winners entered the race

City didn’t make their opening offer for Rice until Monday. They were prepared to pay £80million plus another £10million in surcharges

West Ham turned down the offer as they wanted more than £100m. Arsenal have now made a £100m offer with a further £5m in offers.
The city is unwilling to comply with this offer and has therefore withdrawn from the race. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says City are now interested in Veiga.

The 21-year-old Celta Vigo star has a release clause of around £34.5m. Romano claims Chelsea and Liverpool remain interested in the player.

However, any City rapprochement could be bad news for both Premier League contenders.

Chelsea will not take part in any European competition next season while Liverpool missed out on Champions League qualification.

City are the defending champions of Europe’s elite club tournament and have won five Premier League titles in six seasons. This offer might be too hard for Veiga to refuse as Chelsea and Liverpool search for their own alternative destinations.

Veiga is a central midfielder who spent his career at Celta. He made 55 appearances for the club’s first team, scoring 11 goals.

He wouldn’t be a comparable alternative to Rice for City as he is a more forward-thinking midfielder. Veiga could instead replace Ilkay Gundogan who will join Barcelona at the end of his contract.

City have already signed another player who could follow in Gündogan’s footsteps. On Tuesday, they officially announced the signing of Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea. Kovacic, 29, has signed a four-year contract to join the Etihad. After the announcement of the move, he expressed his joy.

Kovacic said: “It’s a brilliant move for me and I can’t wait to start at City. Anyone who has seen this team under Pep knows how good they are – for me they are the best in the world. “

“The trophies they have won are visible to all, but they are also the best football team ever.” Being part of this team is truly a dream for any footballer.”

Cesare Casadei and the Chelsea wonderkids are equipped for the transfer market and ready to soar next season.

Although Chelsea are expected to be active in the transfer market this summer, this could generate interest for some of the team’s promising young players, both at Cobham and elsewhere.

Excitation about potential team lineups for the upcoming season grows as the transfer window gets ready to open. As squads are revitalized and anticipation for the upcoming year grows as a result of news and rumors, new hopes start to emerge.

Chelsea has talked about changing their team, but it’s important to also pay attention to what the club already has and what might come later. The Blues have developed a reputation for producing talented players at Cobham who go on to excel at Chelsea or while on loan.

Several players, including Mason Mount, Reece James, and Levi Colwill more recently, have gained notoriety outside of the team before coming back to excel. In the past year, Lewis Hall has distinguished himself as an academy player of the year after succeeding Harvey Vale. So the next question is: who?

football.
London looks at a few of the players who are prepared to begin building their reputations both inside and outside of the club in 2023–24.

Leo Castledine, a 17-year-old who played primarily from the bench last season but was a regular for Chelsea’s Premier League 2 squad, is expected to be a key player for the squad in 2019. Castledine, who scored 15 goals over the course of 38 appearances, including six of seven goals in the under-18 Premier League and four of six goals in the UEFA Youth League, has demonstrated versatility to play in the heart of defense as well as across the forward positions.

Ultimately, the attacking midfielder has a special talent for spotting opportunities and seizing them, allowing him to show off his intelligence. A promising possibility.

Omari Hutchinson – After making a splashy transfer from Arsenal last summer, Hutchinson wasted little time settling in. During the first half of the season, the winger dominated Premier League 2, and he was given a few brief opportunities to play for the first team.

Prior to the current campaign, a loan was discussed, and a short-term move broke down on the transfer deadline day in January. The Blues must now find him a platform to succeed before 2023–24. Hutchinson’s ability to advance after spending time with the Chelsea first team will be ensured by regular senior football, and this will be a thrilling new phase.

Cesare Casadei, an Italian midfielder, joined Chelsea last summer. The club was obviously hoping to give him some time to adjust before evaluating his true potential. He proved he was ready for a Championship loan at Reading for the second half of the season after scoring some impressive goals for the Blues development team, and the 20-year-old will now be hoping for a promotion.

For any skeptics, Casadei’s performances leading Italy at the under-20 World Cup have only enhanced his reputation, and his team’s run to the final was fueled by a return of seven goals throughout the competition. Unreal.

Alex Matos is no longer playing football for Norwich. The 18-year-old is expected to join Chelsea for the upcoming campaign, according to information in London. It’s likely that the former Canaries youngster was signed to bolster the under-21 team, which will likely be a developing group next season.

Jimmy-Jay Morgan: The forward joined the team again in February after leaving Southampton in what is believed to be a £6 million deal, but his progress was slowed when he needed surgery for a problem that was discovered during his medical. Even though Morgan just turned 17 in January, he still managed to contribute four goals and five assists for the Saints in eight Premier League 2 games. In the upcoming term, he intends to start strong.

Ben Elliott is a player with a ton of talent but is perhaps not one of the more well-known names in Chelsea’s academy. He was selected for Cameroon’s most recent squad for a reason, and he could represent them at the AFCON.

Elliott, who is 20 years old and had his development slowed by injury at the under-15 level, is one of the more experienced members of the academy, but he contributed significantly to the Blues’ success in Premier League 2 last season. Despite having one more year left on his Chelsea contract, the midfielder reportedly attracted interest from League One clubs in January. He is poised to succeed if he can secure the ideal loan for the upcoming season.

Charlie Webster: Since being added to the bench against Brentford in 2021, the 18-year-old has made an impression in the middle of Chelsea’s midfield over the past two seasons. However, he hasn’t really threatened to make the matchday roster. The passing master could play senior football for the first time in the upcoming season, giving him the ideal chance to establish himself after having his contract extended earlier in the year. Webster will be hoping to make a point to the club as a loan seems more and more likely.
