Chelsea and Eden Hazard have already reached a £47 million transfer agreement following a covert bid.

Latest Chelsea headlines from Stamford Bridge, including stories on Moises Caicedo, Christopher Nkunku, and Eden Hazard.

Eden Hazard, one of Chelsea’s best players, recently shared his updated career goals. After leaving Spain a year early, the 32-year-old made the decision not to complete his Real Madrid contract.

Hazard scored just seven goals for Madrid over the course of four years after leaving Chelsea for a fee of £125 million. Only four of those goals came in the league.

It was reported that he was thinking about ending his playing career after retiring from international football following the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

He has publicly denied making such a decision. He told Belgium’s RTBF, “I still feel capable of playing professional football; my body can handle it.”. “I still have some energy,” she exclaimed, “I’ve been sleeping for two or three years.”.

Moises Caicedo receives a boost from Chelsea twice.

Chelsea’s pursuit of Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton this summer, has gained momentum. As the first offer of the window went unnoticed by most, the Blues had a bid for the 21-year-old rejected last week, according to reports.

In May, Kendry Paez, a teammate from Ecuador, was signed by Chelsea, opening up a new door for the in-demand player. The trio all share agents from the same group, along with Nicolas Jackson of Villarreal, who is the newest transfer target.

Paez will join two years after turning 18 while Jackson is currently negotiating personal terms with Chelsea ahead of a potential £29 million move.

Christopher Nkunku done deal

Christopher Nkunku, an offensive player for RB Leipzig, has officially signed with Chelsea.
Announcing the 25-year-old’s joining the team in 2022 was delayed until the end of the current campaign, despite his agreement.

Nkunku said of his move to Chelsea, which cost about £52 million, “I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea. It took a lot of work to get me to the team, and I am eager to get to know my new coach and teammates as well as show the Chelsea fans what I am capable of on the field.

“After playing in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, I now want to play in the Premier League, one of the top leagues in the world. This challenge has me incredibly pumped, and I’ll be honored to represent Chelsea while doing it. “.

This summer, Rio Ferdinand chooses a Chelsea player as his “dream” addition to Manchester United.

Rio Ferdinand revealed the name of his dream Manchester United signing this summer and it turns out to be a Chelsea player.
Ferdinand spoke about the transfers on FIVE’s YouTube channel this week.

Interesting comments were made. And the former USA and England defender wants Chelsea’s Levi Colwill to arrive at Old Trafford this summer as his dream signing.

But of course we know that is highly unlikely because, as I was told and reported on my personal Substack page last week, new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is adamant that Colwill has a bright future in bridge. And frankly, Ferdinand even admits it.

He says: “If I could have him, my dream would be [Levi] Colwill. But I think Chelsea will keep him. I think they’ve seen how good he is now.”

And he’s absolutely right, Chelsea have seen how good he is and have every intention of not only developing him but also offering him a new contract and a key role at the club, which of course is a excellent news.

Trevoh Chalobah speaks out regarding Chelsea’s future amid Inter Milan transfer links

Trevoh Chalobah has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and has spent some of his free time in Italy amid speculation over his Chelsea future

Trevoh Chalobah has left the possibility of a move to Italy open amid interest from Inter Milan, but noted his focus is on Chelsea at the moment. The Blues defender is currently on holiday in the country while Chelsea are yet to return for pre-season.

football.london understood that the 23-year-old also had to decide whether or not Milan was a suitable place to live.

It is believed that the defender was set for a meeting over a potential move to Internazionale, where a deal is being negotiated with Chelsea.

Chalobah was linked with a move from Stamford Bridge 12 months ago when, alongside Tottenham, Inter and Roma were also interested in a possible move.

The Cobham product ultimately remained in west London and was one of the most successful clubs under Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.

From today’s perspective, he will face a lot of competition in the 2023/24 season.

Chelsea will add Levi Colwill to their ranks after his loan spell at Brighton, with Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly also providing competition.

The latter could still leave the club as Mauricio Pochettino is known to bet on a back four instead of a back three. The season could be difficult for some who don’t have European football.

Regular playing time is said to be one of Chalobah’s priorities heading into EURO 2024 next season.

The former Lorient player made 33 appearances for Les Bleus last season, mostly as a central defender. football.london are aware that Inter would have to put a lot of effort into signing him.

Speaking to Sky Sports in Milan, Chalobah was cautious about his future but praised Italy and Serie A.

He said: “Obviously you don’t know what the future holds. I also played in France when I was loaned out there, in England and you never know.”

Playing in a new destination is something the player has to experience. You don’t know what the future holds for you. Italy is a beautiful country and the Italian league is also very good. You don’t know what the future holds for you.

I’m still a Chelsea player and my focus is on Chelsea, but you never know what the future holds. I like it here in Italy, the weather is nice, the people are nice, the food is good and I enjoy my time here.

Chalobah’s future is yet to be decided, but with Pochettino set to build a new culture at Chelsea after his squad was downsized, the young defender could play a key role.

Former caretaker manager Frank Lampard has been very positive about Chalobah’s candidacy during his time at the club.

The former Chelsea midfielder said: “It was good and I appreciate what a quality player he is. The biggest picture is how he engages since I’ve been back. C It’s a pleasure to train with him every day because he comes with enthusiasm.

He’s easy to deal with and when you talk about the things you want he tries to implement them on the pitch – which is a good thing.”

That said, football.london has ended all the latest transfer speculation about Caicedo’s future on the south coast. With a move for Moises Caicedo likely to cost Chelsea a large sum, the idea of swap deals with Brighton is still being touted.

Forward Armando Broja will not be involved in any deals, according to Fabrizio Romano after reports linked the Cobham academy graduate with a move to the Seagulls.
However, a Guardian report claims Conor Gallagher could be involved in any deal, while Levi Colwill’s future is also in question.

Chelsea may be willing to offer Levi Colwill a second season loan deal at the Amex Stadium following the young defender’s impressive spell with De Zerbi’s side in the 2022/23 season.

Pochettino intends to bring Colwill back into the Chelsea first team next season, but with plenty of options at centre-back already available, it may be wise to let the youngster go out on loan again and continue his development.

Moisés Caicedo demonstrates Jürgen Klopp’s genius as Liverpool “beats Man City to $33 million transfer.”

Liverpool have reportedly beaten Man City in the race for a $33m centre-back, while the Reds will be pleased with the latest developments in the transfer of Moisés Caicedo.

Last weekend, Liverpool kicked off their planned midfield rebuild with the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

In one sense, as the Reds moved to close the deal with impressive speed, the timing of the transfer aroused impatience.

Some supporters are already getting a little restless and wondering what will happen after such a promising start.

At the moment, Jürgen Klopp, sporting director Jörg Schmadtke and the recruiting team appear to be evaluating options behind the scenes.

Athletic’s James Pearce has suggested a possible pre-selection of five players: Khéphren Thuram from Nice, Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach, Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo, Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich and Roméo Lavia from Southampton.

These players may have passed the “ability test,” but they must also tick the “availability” and “affordability” boxes (via The Athletic).

Liverpool will have the chance to see four of these players (apart from Lavia) in action at the European Under-21 Championship which kicks off next week.

The tournament runs until July 8 which could lead to delays for the Reds. However, it’s worth remembering that their season kicks off on August 13 when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

Here are today’s two Liverpool.com stories that you shouldn’t miss. Liverpool ‘win fight against Man City for Van de Ven’

According to a report from El Nacional, Liverpool may have beaten Manchester City by signing centre-back from Wolfsburg Micky van de Ven, outbidding the Premier League champions and agreeing to pay $33m (£26m). sterling / 30 million euros).

Klopp is a huge fan of the player while Schmadtke knows him well from his time at Wolfsburg. The player is also said to have agreed to the transfer and could be a good fit for the Reds in the short and long term.

Caicedo highlights Reds transfer triumph

According to The Telegraph, Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Chelsea could be asked to pay up to $154m (£120m/€141m) for Brighton midfielder Moisés Caicedo.

The Seagulls have already lost their other star player of last season, Mac Allister, for a fee of just $45m (£35m/€41m) after Liverpool activated a clause in his contract.

And as James Findlater writes, Brighton’s star rating for Caicedo could demonstrate just how big of a deal the Argentinian was, as well as many other deals going on this summer.

Declan Rice, for example, will cost well over $100m, while Liverpool are looking for other deals that will prove excellent value.

Liverpool has a shortlist of five players for their upcoming acquisition, as Jorg Schmadtke seeks his first contract.

Liverpool is making moves in the transfer window to bring in a number of new stars for Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool has five midfielders on their short list as Jorg Schmadtke, the new transfer chief at Anfield, looks to make his first acquisition. However, Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival has been long anticipated and was the last of Julian Ward’s administration before Schmadtke took over. Alexis Mac Allister recently became the Reds’ first signing.

In order to further implement his new system, which has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold switch from right-back to center-midfield, Klopp is expected to make additional additions to the midfield. Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram interest has been well-documented, but Liverpool has also been tipped to challenge Newcastle for Gabri Veiga.

Veiga, a 21-year-old star for Celta Vigo, does have a release clause of £34 million, according to Fabrizio Romano, and the La Liga club is unwilling to negotiate a fee lower than that stated in his contract. As a result, Liverpool allegedly spoke with Veiga’s entourage.

In an interview with Romano for the Here We Go podcast, he stated, “Last week and this week Liverpool had some conversations with people close to Gabri Veiga. He plays with a lot of energy, and I think he’s one of the best young players in the world. One of the teams with the greatest interest in this player is Liverpool.

There were rumors that a deal with Newcastle was already finalized, but that is not true at all. Liverpool is very interested in Gabri Veiga; there is a release clause, and Liverpool is thinking about taking advantage of this significant opportunity. Consider your next move at this time. Gabri Veiga, Thuram, and Kone are all names. However, sincerity be damned, I wouldn’t be shocked if Liverpool decided to pursue a player we didn’t mention today or a different opportunity. as a result of their character. They enjoy spotting the ideal chance. ”.

Romeo Lavia is another starlet who is admired by the Anfield management, though Liverpool may have some out-of-the-box names on their list. Arsenal will be a rival, though, as they want to pair the Southampton midfielder with Declan Rice despite the Saints’ £45 million price tag on the former Manchester City player.

Since Ryan Gravenberch did not leave the desired impression during his first season at Bayern Munich, Liverpool is also interested in him and will have access to him this summer. The Dutch international recently stated his desire to play regular football, which opened the door for him to move elsewhere.

“I had anticipated receiving more opportunities and minutes than I actually did. He told De Telegraaf, “I had done very good preparation and thought I deserved it.
“All I want is to play more, ideally for Bayern Munich.
Additionally, I play exclusively at a club.

“I prefer that, too.
I say this because I don’t want another year to be like this one.
such a one.
A good first season taught me a lot.
I only want to play football, though. “.

After Nicolas Jackson’s transfer to Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino will have to make two important transfer decisions.

Given that Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take over as manager, Nicolas Jackson could be among the first players to sign with Chelsea this summer.

The transfer window is open, and Chelsea’s to-do list doesn’t seem to be lacking. A number of midfielders, including Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, appear to be on the verge of leaving the club. They are expected to compete for the services of Moises Caicedo and have been approached about players like Mason Mount and Kai Havertz.

But Chelsea’s search for a striker appears to be one of their most advanced deals. The Blues’ struggles in front of goal have meant a new forward has long been among the club’s top priorities, especially with Romelu Lukaku another player expected to leave in addition to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

According to reports, Nicolas Jackson’s personal terms have already been agreed upon by the Blues, and they are getting ready to trigger his release clause with Villarreal, which is reportedly in the neighborhood of £30 million. It will undoubtedly be a more attractive price than what Napoli would ask for Victor Osimhen, there is little doubt about that.

In what could be considered a breakthrough season, Jackson scored 12 goals in 26 La Liga games for the Yellow Submarine in 2022–23. Even though he is only 21, he is far from perfect and has faced challenges.

Jackson struggled under Unai Emery when given a strict role focused on maintaining the team’s shape and pressing, but was given more freedom under Quique Setien in a system focused on chance creation and was able to use his pace and strength both on and off the ball. The fact that nine of his goals came in his season’s final eight games is telling.

However, it would seem that such a signing would leave Mauricio Pochettino in charge of a number of choices. Jackson, who is only 21 years old, still has much to prove and is capable of taking over as the team’s starter, but it is unclear whether Chelsea plans to sign a different, more seasoned striker. A quick-delivery person is definitely needed by the club.

If the west London club is successful in acquiring the striker, it would be in line with the club’s goals to recruit the top young talent. The first team’s ambition has been made clear through the signings of players like Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Wesley Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Enzo Fernandez, as well as Omari Hutchinson and Cesare Casadei for the development team.

Additionally, Armando Broja and David Datro Fofana will face direct competition as a result. The latter will undoubtedly be evaluated by his new manager, but considering how little he played at the end of the previous campaign, it’s possible that, having joined in January, he would be better suited to a loan.

Broja was acquired by Chelsea on a six-year deal after the transfer window closed in 2022 after Chelsea rejected interest from West Ham last summer. Prior to being forced to miss the rest of the season due to injury sustained during the World Cup break, the forward was a part of the first team setup.

After months of recovery alongside others like Tino Anjorin, Broja is getting ready to return for preseason, and the forward already seems to be attracting some interest. The Cohbam product, like Jackson, is only 21 years old. He scored once in 286 minutes for Southampton last season after tallying nine goals in 2021–2022.

Chelsea transfer news: First signing agreed to and £34 million deal completed amid Moises Caicedo update.

Transfer rumors surrounding Chelsea include stories about Mateo Kovacic, Moises Caicedo, and Nicolas Jackson.

Nicolas Jackson and Chelsea agree on personal terms.

Chelsea already has many deals in the works for this summer’s transfer window, and they might soon finalize their first one. One name might be on the door before Christopher Nkunku, who is anticipated to join the Blues this summer.

The Evening Standard broke the news on Wednesday that the Blues and Villarreal have begun negotiations regarding a potential transfer for their striker Nicolas Jackson. And now that the Athletic is reporting that personal terms have been settled, it appears that a deal is close.

route leading to the transfer of Moises Caicedo.

Amid interest from Chelsea in the midfielder, Brighton has signed their potential replacement for Moises Caicedo.

The 21-year-old was a standout performer for the Seagulls last season as Roberto De Zerbi’s team won European football for the first time in their history. The Ecuadorian appeared ready to leave Brighton in January, but the south coast team maintained their composure, and the midfielder ultimately agreed to renew his contract with the Seagulls.

However, De Zerbi acknowledged last month that Caicedo and recent Liverpool acquisition Alexis Mac Allister might leave the team this summer. football. London is aware that Chelsea are wary that Caicedo could cost close to £100 million. In the meantime, Brighton have already improved their midfield options.

Deal worth £34 million is reached by Chelsea.

As Mauricio Pochettino appears set to oversee a number of changes in the squad this summer, Chelsea’s great midfield overhaul is currently under way. Numerous players are rumored to be leaving the team because the overcrowded dressing room needs to be reduced before the new season.

According to ESPN, Kovacic is about to finalize a transfer to Manchester City, so the two parties seem to be getting closer. Personal terms have already been agreed upon with the Croatian international, whose contract only has one year left to run.

The reported fee is £34 points 2 million, which will be a welcome windfall for the Blues as they rebuild during the transfer window.

Chelsea has already signed the “new Lionel Messi.”, as Enzo Fernandez’s ideal partner found.

Chelsea transfer news: The Blues have spoken to their first summer hire as they prepare to sign Moises Caicedo. In order for the two to play together, Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping.

Kendry Paez, Chelsea’s first and only summer transfer that has been officially confirmed, has made a statement since joining the team. After months of negotiations with Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle, the 16-year-old, who won’t join until his 18th birthday, was signed.

It offers a potential pathway for the player and is the same team that Moises Caicedo, a current transfer target, played for in his youth. Football has replaced Caicedo as Chelsea’s top priority this summer. The two Ecuadorians have long-term aspirations of joining the Blues as teammates. This is understood in London.

It’s not as unlikely as it might seem, despite a five-year age difference. Following Roberto De Zerbi’s admission that he had probably played his last match for the club, two years after making his debut, Chelsea is making a strong effort to sign the Brighton star. Caicedo, who costs more than £70 million, is an example of the unrealized potential of South American leagues.

In recent years, Brighton has successfully exploited this market, and Chelsea is now considering doing the same. Even at such a young age, the addition of Kendry is a strong sign of the caliber and confidence in the players of the future.

The player has maintained his composure even after being named to his first senior international team. He told ESPN, “I don’t feel pressure; I’m focused on Independiente, on the Libertadores, and I’ll keep playing the best I can.

Later this month, when the national team plays Bolivia and Costa Rica, Kendry will have the chance to make his international debut. High expectations are placed on him as a player because he excelled for his country’s junior teams and advanced to play men’s football in Ecuador.

“I need to keep working and concentrate on my studies if I want to get there well. To exchange ideas with players like Enzo [Fernandez] and other unique individuals will be a special experience. I’m concentrating on Independiente Del Valle right now, though it’s wonderful,” he continued. “I’ll keep doing what I’m doing here, there are only two years left, I know it goes by quickly. ”.

After being acquired by Benfica for only £10 million last year, Fernandez was another player to quickly transition from South America to the Premier League. After being acquired by Chelsea for £107 million, he went on to become a world champion and a British record transfer within six months. Even at such a young age, Kendry has a history of success, from playing for River Plate to commanding midfields in the Champions League.

Being one of the most promising players on the Ecuadorian team, he has unavoidably received comparisons to Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona. He might yet surpass late Maradona’s mark for being the youngest player to make his South American debut. He has his eye on it.

He said, “I have to keep working for what is coming; I want to be there, break another record. “It’s crucial for me to beat a player who was the best, world champion, and most elite player. It is amazing that an Ecuadorian broke the top record.
“.
However, he objects to the comparisons to the two great Argentines. I’m Kendry, and I’m going to give Ecuador a name. I refuse to be compared to Messi, so I’m going to keep being me. He is the best and very special. Because I’m still in the process and I’m only 16 years old, they cannot compare me to him.

“I need to learn a lot and gain a lot of experience. In due time, possibly with my winnings, perhaps with the Ecuadorian Kendry Paez. There is only me doing it. ”.

Chelsea appears to have acquired a player who is mature for his age and will benefit from his early participation in the national team. They have similar expectations for the gifted Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos, who was also loaned back to South America this year, and they will be secretly hoping to see the two of them on the field together, perhaps with Caicedo.

Moises Caicedo’s “secret” transfer offer is made public, as Arsenal and Chelsea encounter a major turn of events.

This summer, Moises Caicedo is up for grabs, with Chelsea and Arsenal vying for his services after a “secret” transfer bid was made.

A “secret offer” has been made public, giving the battle between Arsenal and Chelsea to sign Moises Caicedo, a star player for Brighton, a new twist. Following interest in January, the Ecuadorian international has been strongly linked with moves to both London clubs in the upcoming weeks.

The Blues and the Gunners made late bids to sign the 21-year-old during the previous transfer window, but the player eventually made a public request to leave. The young player was kept by the Seagulls after they gave him a new contract that would keep him with the team.

Roberto De Zerbi, Caicedo’s manager, later revealed that Caicedo would be free to leave in the summer market despite the new contract.

Arsenal have been one of those but football. london understands that deals for Declan Rice and Kai Havertz would make any move for Caicedo unlikely. However, while that does put them in a different position in their chances of landing him, the interest from the Gunners isn’t completely over.

With the red side of London focusing on other priorities, it hands the advantage over to the blue side as Chelsea step up their pursuit. football. london understands that Caicedo is a priority for the west London outfit, who have confidence they can strike a deal with Brighton.

Reports have stated that personal terms are close to being completed over a switch to Stamford Bridge, leaving just a deal with Brighton to be struck. That’s something that Chelsea may have been working on for longer than has been suggested in recent weeks.

That’s because, according to The Athletic, the Blues submitted a £60million offer to the Seagulls just two weeks ago, coming as something of a “secret” bid after radio silence on it. While this offer appears to have been rejected, it suggests that perhaps the move is further along than once thought.

It adds yet another twist to the tale, with Chelsea seemingly closing in on Caicedo, while Arsenal will have to react quickly if they do decide he is a priority target. This has led to further interest, with teams stepping up their approach for the versatile midfielder in the previous few weeks.

Chelsea is given the opportunity to potentially sign Denzel Dumfries as Inter Milan’s summer strategy becomes clear.

Chelsea reportedly tageted Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries in January and the Italian club look set to add to their defensive ranks in the transfer window.

Chelsea may have gained an advantage over rumored target Denzel Dumfries thanks to Inter Milan.

In January, there were rumors that Chelsea had made a €35 million offer for the Dutch wingback, leading the Blues to be linked with a transfer.

Instead, the 27-year-old finished the season by reaching the Champions League final with Inter, but suggested he may still be on the move when asked about his future. He said: “When (Inter) get back together, despite this defeat, we will be hungry for victory next season,” he said. “What if I stay at Inter? Yes, at the moment I’m staying at Inter. ”.

Inter are seemingly already putting their plans in place for next season. Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has shared that Internazionale have held a “positive meeting” with German defender Yann Aurel Bisseck, who plays for Danish side Aarhus.

Di Marzio reports that the Italian side are set to ‘reach an agreement’ with the 22-year-old ahead of a move this summer. Bisseck is said to have a €7million release clause as Inter boss Simone Inzaghi looks to bolster his defensive options, which could potentially pave the way for Chelsea to revive their pursuit for Dumfires.

The Netherlands international has often been touted with a move away from the San Siro since joining the Milan side in 2021. The full-back has two years remaining on his current contract and would provide competition to Reece James, if he were to arrive at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were also said to be in the race for his signature, though no move came to fruition, with Inter said to value him at least €55million (£48.4million).

Moisés Caicedo’s $154m transfer showcases Liverpool masterpiece as Man United face takeover delay

Liverpool rivals roundup: Chelsea battle over Moisés Caicedo transfer fee proves Reds transfer mastery as Manchester United face takeover delay.

It’s been a quieter week for Liverpool on the transfer front, although there’s been plenty of activity elsewhere after the window officially opened in England.

With the signing of Alexis Mac Allister finalized last week, the Reds are still waiting to secure their next signing, despite many linked names.

But as Jurgen Klopp and Jörg Schmadtke continue to lay the groundwork for their summer rebuild, rivals Liverpool should soon make their mark.

Although Chelsea have spent big over the past year, they are expected to remain active in the coming months as Mauricio Pochettino takes charge of Stamford Bridge.

However, if the latest reports are to be believed, Todd Boehly may not have learned from his mistakes.

Meanwhile, Manchester United fans at Old Trafford are still waiting to see if their club will get new owners soon and what impact it could have on their transfer business.

Chelsea face battle for Caicedo compensation

Chelsea would be in pole position to sign Moisés Caicedo, although there is still work to be done before agreeing a fee with Brighton.

It appears Caicedo will leave the Seagulls this summer, despite him signing a new contract earlier this year after being the subject of a failed transfer bid from Arsenal.

However, if he wants to move to Stamford Bridge, it seems he’s not going to go cheap.

The Telegraph reports that Brighton want more than the $90m (£70m/€82m) they turned down from Arsenal in January.

That hasn’t deterred Chelsea, but they could still be in trouble as Brighton owner Tony Bloom has claimed to value Caicedo at up to $154m (£120m/€141m).

Liverpool.com says: “There is no doubt that Caicedo is a great player and Brighton should be on a decent fee this summer.” But is he worth almost four times Alexis Mac Allister? We are not sure…

If any club has shown lately that they’re willing to pay more than expected for a player it’s Chelsea and even after the amount of cash Todd Boehly swapped last year it doesn’t seem out of the question.

him to learn from mistakes. . If Chelsea end up reaching Brighton’s rating, it will only show how well Liverpool have managed to secure Mac Allister for an equally reasonable price.

The delay in the acquisition of Manchester United has no impact on the budget

Manchester United may not have a new owner before the start of the new season, although Erik ten Hag’s transfer budget will not be affected, according to the Daily Mail.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are currently in a battle to take over the Old Trafford club from the Glazer family.

No preferred bidders have yet been chosen and, according to the report, it will take another 8-12 weeks for an “approval process” before a deal is officially approved.

However, the report suggests Ten Hag’s transfer budget will not be affected as the Manchester United manager was reportedly paid around $154m (£120m/€141m) to play with.

The figure may vary depending on how much Manchester United earns from player sales. Liverpool.

com says: There will be a lot of interest in the potential Manchester United takeover, especially from Liverpool.

With reports (including via Reuters) suggesting Qatar’s bid could be successful, the Old Trafford side could once again become a force in the transfer market.

The news that he probably won’t be ready before the start of the season could at least delay this resurgence.

We have already seen in Newcastle and Chelsea the immediate impact that a takeover can have on the purchasing power of a club, and the current budget of Manchester United may not be sufficient to cover all the positions to be reinforced.

Arsenal withdraws from the race to sign an £80 million player following reports that Liverpool could yet swoop in.

Arsenal have ended their interest in Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after claiming Liverpool could still be in contention.

Caicedo is expected to leave the Seagulls this summer after an excellent campaign.

In recent weeks, the number of candidates who could sign him seems to have been reduced to a small handful.

Although Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were seen as favourites, there have been recent claims that Liverpool are also keeping tabs on things.

Well, today the Times removed one of those names from the list. Arsenal, who are now working hard to bring in Declan Rice, have reportedly ‘withdrawn their interest’ in Caicedo.

Brighton have reportedly agreed to the Ecuadorian leaving them but are demanding £80m to sell him.

Liverpool is not mentioned as a likely destination in this report, with Chelsea and United appearing to be the two clubs leading the way.

If we had to guess where Caicedo will end up this summer, it definitely wouldn’t be Liverpool. The 21-year-old’s asking price is far too high for the Reds to afford.

However, the door doesn’t close completely until we see Caicedo posing in another team’s kit.

Liverpool appear to be keeping the Brighton man in mind in case there’s an opportunity at a lower price.

As it stands, Chelsea almost appear to have a free run in Caicedo. With the Blues not afraid to spend large sums of money on the transfer market, we don’t think the opportunity will come from Liverpool.

However, they won’t be too angry. Caicedo is a great player, but for 80 million pounds it’s not worth it. The Reds have already signed his former Brighton team-mate Alexis Mac Allister for a fraction of that.

As for Arsenal, they will also be quite happy if they can get Rice through the door

Some Liverpool fans might look at such expensive offers and wonder why their club can’t spend this kind of money in the transfer market.

But really, it’s a matter of spending big versus spending smart. In this regard, Liverpool have shown that they can outwit their rivals at any time.

When it comes to bolstering Jürgen Klopp’s midfield this summer, Liverpool is scouring the market for the best options. Nicol Barella might be moving.

Just days after the Champions League final, the release of the preseason schedule and the release of the fixtures give Liverpool fans the impression that the new season is drawing nearer.

The Reds still have time for a break, despite the fact that many of their players are away on postseason international duty, and work on transfers is already in progress.

Even though Alexis Mac Allister has already signed with Liverpool, there is still work to be done on Jürgen Klopp’s midfield. Even though the Reds have moved on from Jude Bellingham, at least two more players will be added to the roster.

The Telegraph reported on Wednesday that Newcastle was nearing a $63 million (£50 million/€58 million) deal for Nicol Barella, but it now seems premature. Liverpool should be all over a hijack at that price, but it would undoubtedly cost more to bring in the Italian.

The 26-year-old’s transfer from Inter would cost $95 million (£75 million/€88 million), according to 90Min, and that price shouldn’t be out of reach for Liverpool. In fact, the Italian would be the best choice even for that amount.

On a shortlist that also included players like Nice’s Khéphren Thuram and Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Manu Koné, Barella was mentioned only five days ago by Sky Sports as a player Liverpool might sign.

It would seem sensible to move Thuram or Koné rather than both, leaving Klopp with a decision to make. If it were possible, getting one of them along with Mac Allister and Barella would seem like the ideal situation for Liverpool.

Le Parisien estimates Thuram to be worth $65 million (£51 million/€60 million), while Fabrizio Romano claims Koné may only be worth $44 million (£35 million/€41 million). Neither has the same level of experience as Mac Allister or Barella, but if a third option were added, it would add depth and have a high potential for growth in the years to come.

In terms of body count, signing three players would result in fewer players than last season, but with a lot more football played, much more availability and dependability in terms of injuries, and the ability to be selected.

Last season, Mac Allister alone logged 1369 more Premier League minutes for Brighton than James Milner, Naby Keta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Arthur Melo combined for Liverpool. It should also include European football, but that is a great place to start.

In a perfect world, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, and the developing Stefan Bajéti could all be managed better so they didn’t get overused, and Jordan Henderson could play fewer minutes, which would result in less volume but more quality.

In terms of the midfield, Mac Allister was a good start for Liverpool, but more work needs to be done before the season begins on August 13 at Chelsea.
The Reds also need to sign one or two defenders.
The goal must be to come as close as possible to the ideal scenario.

Mauricio Pochettino will start Chelsea’s strongest lineup against Liverpool, After Moises Caicedo’s boost.

There is still a lot of business for Chelsea to settle in the transfer market as the Premier League season is just days away from starting.

The countdown to the start of Chelsea’s season will begin on August 13 at 4:30 p.m. At Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino will manage the Blues in their Premier League debut against Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

The 2023–24 season is now the focus of everyone’s attention, even though the season has only recently ended and the transfer window has only been open for two days. With Pochettino possibly leading a team that has experienced a lot of turnover, the Blues’ squad still needs to be reduced to a more manageable number.

With still weeks of the transfer window open, sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart will face a significant challenge in getting the team ready for opening day. After the last-minute deals of the previous season, which included Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria, it will be crucial to bring in new players for Pochettino to work with right away.

football.London considers the lineup Pochettino might choose for his first game in charge at home.

Kepa Arrizabalaga had a strong season despite Chelsea’s struggles, demonstrating how difficult it has been to let him leave the club in recent seasons. Despite the Blues’ plans to acquire a new goalkeeper, it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise to see him start in goal against the Reds.

Reece James and Ben Chilwell, assuming they are healthy, can be considered simple options for the defensive flanks as Pochettino chooses to play four defenders, with Wesley Fofana and Thiago Silva possibly filling the center of defense. Benoit Badiashile will hopefully be nearing full fitness while Levi Colwill’s preseason preparation will be cut short due to his participation in the under-21 Euros.

Another player who cannot be changed is Enzo Fernandez, who may be joined by a new addition to the center of the pitch. One of Chelsea’s top priorities as they look to revamp their midfield is Moises Caicedo. Despite the competition that Arsenal provides, Chelsea may have a better chance to pounce and complete the deal in time for the season as a result of their consideration of Declan Rice.

With Raheem Sterling providing a threat from the wing after having a well-rested summer after missing England’s internationals, Christian Nkunku could soon be exerting influence and posing a threat to the Liverpool defense. Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke will be vying for the other wing spot as Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are expected to depart. Carney Chukwuemeka might also be an option if a more central role is needed.

After both participating in the under-21 Euros, Chelsea’s January signings are most likely to split playing time, with Mudryk being used to attack fatigued legs and Madueke receiving the nod.

The player from Chelsea who has appeared the most for Pochettino will be absent due to the possibility of Kai Havertz joining Arsenal. It has been challenging for Chelsea to finalize a deal for a new forward in time for the season’s opening game with Romelu Lukaku and Aubameyang. That might result in Armando Broja being given the keys as he recovers from the injury he sustained in December.

Mauricio Pochettino faces two difficult periods as Chelsea plays important Premier League games.

The 2023–24 Chelsea Premier League schedule has been revealed, and it features two dreadful matchups that will cause new manager Mauricio Pochettino nightmares as he juggles a bloated roster.

There is still much to learn from Chelsea’s schedule, even though the Premier League fixture list has been released. Of course, every team will play each other twice. Mauricio Pochettino may have the chance to gain some momentum as the Blues face a difficult test in Liverpool in their season opener.

Pochettino will see an opportunity with three of his first four games at home as the new Chelsea manager looks to start the season with a string of victories to rally his squad and fans. Following Liverpool, Chelsea will need to perform well in its August games against West Ham and Luton Town before hosting Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge in early September.

The Blues must show they can defeat opposition from the top half of the table if they hope to improve on last season’s 12th-place finish. During 2022–2023, they succeeded in doing so just once.

Pochettino won’t have to face a team from a Champions League spot until late October, but after that, things start to move quickly. Prior to welcoming Brentford to Stamford Bridge, the west London team will play Arsenal at home. Then, before Manchester City visits and a trip to Newcastle, Chelsea’s new manager will visit Tottenham once more before December officially starts with tasks for Brighton and Manchester United.

The Boxing Day games must be looked at because it’s impossible to read the schedule without doing so, and Chelsea has been given a home game for the occasion. Prior to the end of the year, they will play Crystal Palace away.

Come February, Chelsea will face a challenging stretch before the international break in March, setting the stage for a second nightmare stretch. When Premier League action resumes, Burnley will stand between Manchester United and Man City after a trip to Man City and a stretch of contests against Tottenham, Brentford, Newcastle, and Arsenal.

Chelsea might feel encouraged by the possibility of the season’s conclusion if there is still something to play for in the remaining weeks. On the final day of the season, Bournemouth will visit the Blues, giving them another important match at home. Prior to the match against the Cherries, Sheffield United, Everton, Brighton, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest will all present difficulties but also present chances for a successful run.

Arsenal provides Chelsea with major Moises Caicedo transfer boost amid Declan Rice pursuit

Moises Caicedo faces an increasingly uncertain future at Brighton. Some big Premier League clubs are looking to secure his signature and Arsenal appear to have given Chelsea a huge boost in the race

Chelsea have been given a huge boost in the race to sign Moises Caicedo this summer and Mauricio Pochettino are keen to further strengthen their midfield options.

The 21-year-old star was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the previous transfer window, but Brighton blocked his exit.
football.

london understands Arsenal made two offers for the Ecuador international in January but both were quickly rejected. Then, in March, Caicedo signed a new long-term contract that would keep him at Amex Stadium until 2027.

At first it looked like his extension would rule out a move anytime soon, but that doesn’t seem to be the case as Chelsea are set to make a move in the coming weeks.

football.london understands that while West Londoners are interested in the Ecuadorian, they are hesitant that he is worth around £100m.

While Arsenal may have prioritized a Declan Rice move, the prospect of the Gunners reconsidering a deal for Caicedo has always been front and center for the Blues.

And when Manchester City came on for West Ham captain, Todd Boehly may have been a little nervous.

However, Chelsea kept their cool and their patience should pay off. According to the Times, the Gunners have pulled out of the race to sign Caicedo – but Manchester United have taken their place.

Whether West Londoners get their hands on the Brighton ace or not, he is sure to be in the showcase. Following Brighton’s loss to Aston Villa on the final day of the Premier League season, Roberto De Zerbi admitted Caicedo may have just played his last game for the club.

The Italian said: “I think this could be Alexis and Moises’ last game, I’m really sorry. They are two great people and two great players. We are ready.”

“We have to find other great players who can play without Alexis and Moises.

If you ask me about Caicedo and Mac Allister, I like them and they are two very big players and they can be part of a very big European team.”

“They can play in any competition and are ready to play for a big team and I hope for them that they can play in the best team in the world,” added the Italian. “We can do better for Brighton [without them] and get other good players through the transfer market.”

“Next year we will play in four competitions, the Premier League will certainly be more difficult for us and we have to be stronger than this year. At the moment we are not ready to play three games a week, but we let’s not engage in it.

According to the released fixtures, Mohamed Salah will miss Liverpool’s matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Following Egypt’s qualification this week, Mohamed Salah will miss four Premier League games for Liverpool during the upcoming season due to his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

After the fixtures for the 2023–24 Premier League season were made public, Liverpool learned of their schedule for the year.

The Reds’ 2018-19 campaign begins with a challenging trip to Mauricio Pochettino’s revamped Chelsea, followed by a Saturday, August 19 home match against Bournemouth. The final August game is a challenging away contest against Newcastle.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s team’s toughest stretch of the season seems to start around the Christmas season, starting in mid-December with games against top-four rivals Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle in a busy schedule. Their series of games will probably come to define their campaign.

The Reds will hope to have nearly their full roster for that stretch of games, but they are also prepared to lose star forward Mohamed Salah the month after that. At the African Cup of Nations, the Egypt will be represented by the Egyptian.

The competition will take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 through February 11, and, barring Egypt’s early elimination, Salah is likely to be unavailable for club selection for up to a month, which will be a blow to Klopp’s team.

Salah played a part in his country’s 2-1 victory over Guinea on Wednesday, ensuring Egypt’s qualification for the competition. With Malawi and Ethiopia failing to advance from the four-team group, it guarantees Egypt will finish first in their group.

Accordingly, Salah will be unavailable for Liverpool’s upcoming four Premier League games, both halves of the EFL Cup semifinal, if the Reds advance that far, and the FA Cup’s first round matches, all of which fall during this time.

Prior to missing two of the Reds’ most important games of the season, at home against Chelsea and away against Arsenal, the 31-year-old will miss the Reds’ away match against Bournemouth, the first Premier League game of the 2024 calendar year, where they lost 1-0 and Salah missed his penalty.

The three-game stretch produced just one point for Klopp’s team during the previous campaign, and Salah is also scheduled to miss the match against Burnley at Anfield in early February should Egypt advance to the next round of the African Cup of Nations.

Despite the team’s unsuccessful season, Salah is still Liverpool’s star player and scored 30 goals last year. The Egyptian scored 19 goals in the Premier League and started all but one of Klopp’s team’s league games.
