    Although Chelsea may have recently made a lot of purchases, it now appears that the sale of just three first-team fringe players, all of whom are headed to Saudi Arabia, will net the team at least £100 million.

    Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz, who are all headed to Arsenal, are the four first-team players that Chelsea are getting ready to part ways with for a whopping combined fee of £107 million.

    The Blues want to sell the last three to various Saudi Arabian clubs in an effort to raise enough money for Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton. Personal considerations shouldn’t be a problem for the Ecuadorian international, who is thought to be interested in the Stamford Bridge move.

    Because of the anticipated volume of sales in west London, it appears that newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino will have a sizeable budget to work with. Seven Chelsea regulars may all depart in the upcoming days.

    N’Golo Kante already left to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but Matteo Kovacic is soon to be formally introduced as a Manchester City player.

    Mason Mount is a fan favorite, and Manchester United and Liverpool are both showing a lot of interest in him. Manchester United has already had two bids for the England international rejected. Mount is unlikely to play football in the capital next season, regardless of which of the two clubs he chooses, as Chelsea will not sell for less than £60 million.

    Germany international Havertz will join Arsenal at the Emirates after a deal has been reached. The 24-year-old has been actively promoting the transfer and has already reached an understanding with the Gunners regarding personal terms.

    Comment below with your thoughts on whether Chelsea will sign Caicedo this summer.

    Chelsea should have no trouble meeting Brighton’s £80 million asking price for Caicedo as a result of all these departures, at least theoretically. The Blues’ £60 million offer for the 21-year-old was turned down two weeks ago, and they have yet to make another one.

    The people in charge at Stamford Bridge are reportedly desperate to sign Caicedo so that they can pair him up in midfield with club-record signing Enzo Fernandez the following season.

    Pochettino hasn’t officially taken over yet, but the Argentinean manager is likely to have spoken with those in charge of the team before him to discuss potential additions and departures.

    The former Tottenham manager will be well aware of the size of the task that lies ahead of him in west London as Chelsea attempts to recover from one of their worst seasons in recent memory last time out.

    Last season, the Blues spent over £600 million on new players during both the summer and winter transfer windows, yet they finished 12th, their lowest position ever.

    Liverpool need a defender like the £40m Premier League star.
    Liverpool need a left centre-back like Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Redmen TV presenter Paul Machin has told GIVEMESPORT.

    The Reds are linked with RB Leipzig’s Joško Gvardiol but Machin believes the young Englishman could be a good alternative to the Croatian.
    Liverpool Transfer News – Levi Colwill

    In April, the Evening Standard claimed Levi Colwill was a top target for Liverpool and Manchester City.

    Brighton & Hove Albion, where the 20-year-old spent last season on loan, are also interested. According to MailOnline, the Seagulls are considering making a £40m offer after Chelsea rejected a £30m offer.

    In addition to Colwill, Liverpool have also been eyeing Gvardiol. According to Football Insider, the Merseyside club are “huge fans” of the Leipzig star, but a deal is unlikely due to his price tag.

    It means Jürgen Klopp will have to explore other options, like Colwill.
    What did Paul Machin say about Levi Colwill and Liverpool? Machin is adamant that Liverpool need a central defender of Colwill’s profile and believes his status at home would make him a good fit for the club.

    Asked about possible alternatives to Gvardiol, the Redmen TV presenter told GIVEMESPORT: “I think someone like Levi Colwill at Chelsea, who has had a very good season at Brighton, can fill that left-sided centre-back role. He can.

    ” also a little left rear.
    “Obviously there’s a big overhaul going on at Chelsea this summer. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be much added value from there.

    Liverpool believes a £40 million Chelsea star would fit well at Anfield.
    They seem to be on the heels of some footballers which is why I don’t think Mason Mount has moved to Manchester United yet. But I think he suits the local culture better and fills the need for a left centre-back which I think Liverpool have.”

    Will Liverpool sign Levi Colwill this summer?
    Colwill could certainly be a great addition to this Liverpool side.

    According to FBref, he ranks in the 92nd percentile for progressive passing and 88th for progressive carries among his positional peers.
    He proves that the England Under-21 international is quite a modern defender.

    However, are Chelsea ready to sell him? The answer is probably not as The Guardian reports, they want to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad next season.
    Unless Colwill pushes for a move, a move to Liverpool or elsewhere seems unlikely.

    Mauricio Pochettino is keen on signing a new Chelsea goalkeeper as several goalkeepers have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new Stamford Bridge goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, according to football.london.

    The Blues are set to sign one of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy ahead of next season as a number of goalkeepers across Europe are linked with a move to west London.

    Inter Milan’s Andre Onana, Brentford’s David Raya and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez are all seen as potential targets for Chelsea.

    However, it looks like Pochettino is now interested in bringing a former Arsenal goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge.

    According to TuttoJuve, the Blues face competition from their Premier League rivals after the signing of Juventus star Wojciech Szczesny.

    The Polish keeper left Arsenal in 2017 and has become one of Juve’s key players over the past six years.

    Szczesny’s contract only expires in 2025 which means the Italian side could demand a substantial transfer fee for the 33-year-old to leave the club this summer.

    Chelsea were unconvinced by either Kepa or Mendy last season as both goalkeepers failed to prove they deserved to remain the club’s No.1.

    The Blues haven’t had a world-class goalkeeper at the club since Thibaut Courtois left in 2018 – but Pochettino wants to change that this summer.

    Liverpool and Manchester City have shown with the signings of Alisson and Ederson that a world-class goalkeeper can make the difference.

    According to reports from Italy, the Blues are struggling to agree a transfer fee with Inter for a deal to sign Onana – which could see them focus on Szczesny.

    AC Milan’s Mike Maignan is reportedly not for sale this summer but the Juventus star could be a smart buy for the Blues.

    Chelsea face another busy summer transfer window, with Mauricio Pochettino officially taking over as manager in July

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new striker, central midfielder and goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, according to football.

    london. However, due to the size of their inflated roster, the Blues need to focus on developing the current squad members.

    There are expected to be many departures from Stamford Bridge this summer, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek facing an uncertain future.

    N’Golo Kante is set to be the first start after agreeing a deal with Saudi club Al-Ittihad after his contract at Chelsea expired.

    Mason Mount is another player who could leave the club, with Manchester United leading the race to sign the 24-year-old, football.

    london reveals. Pochettino could be forced into more signings than expected, although the Blues recently pulled out of negotiations for a deal to bring Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte to the club.

    Chelsea must also assess the future of Romelu Lukaku, who will return to Stamford Bridge this summer after his loan deal with Inter Milan expires.

    The Italian squad played against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions league and were defeated 1:0. Meeting between the Blues and Inter is reportedly scheduled to discuss Lukaku’s future later this month.

    The Belgian striker is believed to be keen to stay at San Siro next season – either on another loan or a permanent transfer.

    Chelsea could consider using Lukaku in negotiations over some of Inter’s star players of interest to Pochettino – Andre Onana, Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez have been linked with moves to west London.

    All of that will likely be discussed when the two clubs meet this month – while Trevoh Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek could also feature in a potential swap deal for some Inter players.

    Pochettino has already secured the signing of Ecuadorian talent Kendry Paez – but the youngster won’t join Chelsea until 2025 when he turns 18.

    football.london understands the Blues are pushing for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo but face competition from London rivals Arsenal.

    Chelsea hope that once the Champions League final is over and Inter’s season is over, they can kick off their summer transfer business and try to meet Pochettino’s demands with the new arrivals.

    Latest reports from Italy suggest the Blues have already agreed personal terms with Onana but Inter have set a £50million price tag for their goalkeeper.

    Meanwhile, Barella has been in discussions internally with Chelsea that they should need more than two central midfield signings this summer given the amount of spending they could lose in that position.
