Goal summarises the biggest transfer talk involving Chelsea as Antonio
Conte looks to build on his title success in his second season in charge.
CONTE TURNS ATTENTION TO CHICHARITO
Antonio Conte is focusing his efforts on Mexico international Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, according to tripleesportnews
The Chelsea boss looks set to miss out on Romelu Lukaku despite a
last-minute Blues bid, and is now considering a move for
the £13.5m-rated Mexico international.
COSTA OPEN TO TALKS WITH CHELSEA
Diego Costa is willing to have showdown talks with Antonio Conte with an eye on returning to Chelsea, according to tripleesportnews.
The striker's preferred move to Atletico Madrid is not possible, and
with Romelu Lukaku not going to Stamford Bridge Costa could returns to
the Blues.
CONTE'S CHELSEA FUTURE IN DOUBT
Chelsea's failure to land their top transfer targets this summer has
left Antonio Conte's position with the club in doubt, according to the tripleesportnews
With Romelu Lukaku looking set to join Manchester United, the club
having failed to land Alexis Sanchez and Virgil van Dijk and stuggling
to sign Alex Sandro and Tiemoue Bakayoko, the Italian's frustrations
have grown.
The manager is now reportedly "fuming" at club officials for letting
the Everton striker get away and facing a crisis up front ahead of the
new season having seen his top target join a major rival.
CHELSEA PLOTTING JAMES BID
Chelsea are prepared to table "a significant bid" for Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez, reports tripleesportnews.
The Colombian is expected to be on the move this summer, with the
likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain among his many
admirers.
CHELSEA LODGE DANILO BID
Chelsea have tabled a £22 million bid for Real Madrid defender Danilo, according to tripleesportnews
The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to
Juventus, but the Blues have now entered the chase for the right-back.
NEWCASTLE KEEN ON LOFTUS-CHEEK
Newcastle United are keen on signing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to tripleesportnews.
The Magpies are set to face competition from fellow newly-promoted
side Brighton & Hove Albion for the England under-21 international.
WATFORD CLOSING ON CHALOBAH
Watford are closing in on a move for Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, according to the tripleesportnews.
The England under-21 international has failed to get the assurances
he needs from Blues boss Antonio Conte and is set to move to Vicarage
Road for a fee in the region of £5 million plus add-ons.
ATLETI TO LOAN COSTA TO CHINA
Atletico Madrid's bid to land Diego Costa may be contingent on
whether they can loan him out to China until they can register him,
reports the tripleesportnews.
The La Liga club is ready to begin talks for the Chelsea striker, but
their ability to finance a move may come down to being able to loan him
out until their transfer ban ends in January.
Chinese club Tianjian Quanjian have made a £76 million offer for
Costa in the past and the Spanish side are believed to be in discussions
with several Chinese clubs over a short-term move.
MOU TO SPLASH £100M FOR LUKAKU
Manchester United are ready to splash £100 million in an effort to trump Chelsea's move for Romelu Lukaku, reports the tripleesportnews.
The sensational move would see the Everton striker become a
world-record signing, surpassing Jose Mourinho's move for Paul Pogba
last summer.
RENNES WANT CHELSEA STRIKER
Rennes have contacted Chelsea to ask what it would take to bring
France international striker Loic Remy back to Ligue 1, according to tripleesportnews.
Remy spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace and isn’t thought to
have a long-term future at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte.
COSTA SET ON ATLETI MOVE
Outbound Chelsea striker Diego Costa is hopeful of having his future resolved by the end of the week, tripleesportnews, with Atletico Madrid said to have prepared a training regime that
will keep the Spain international fit while he sits out their transfer
ban.
The Liga club are reported to be offering only £22 million plus
add-ons for the striker, who has flat-out refused a move to China,
representing a bid that would be less than three times the amount
Chelsea could have recouped if Costa had agreed a move to the CSL.
COSTA REJECTS CHINA MOVE
Chelsea striker Diego Costa has rejected a move to the Chinese Super League, according to the tripleesportnews.
Despite being told by manager Antonio Conte that he is no longer
wanted at Stamford Bridge, the Spain international is happy to sit and
wait for Atletico Madrid rather than leave for the Far East.
And his rejection of a transfer to Asia is in turn delaying Romelu Lukaku's arrival from Everton.
CONTE DEMANDS £100M LUKAKU
Antonio Conte wants Chelsea to spend £100 million on Romelu Lukaku,
if that’s what it will take to bring the Everton striker back to
Stamford Bridge, according to tripleesportnews.
Lukaku has been identified by Conte as the replacement for Atletico
Madrid target Diego Costa and the Belgium international has also been
linked with a move to Manchester United.
However, Lukaku would prefer a return to Chelsea and Conte wants the
Premier League champions to do whatever it takes to secure a deal, even
if it means spending a world-record amount.
SWANSEA EYE CHALOBAH LOAN
Swansea City are eyeing a loan move for Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, according to the tripleesportnews.
The Swans are already closing in on Chalobah's team-mate Tammy
Abraham, and Paul Clement now wants to make it a double deal for the
young Blues stars.
CHELSEA JOIN DANILO HUNT
Chelsea have joined Juventus in showing an interest in Danilo, with
Real Madrid prepared to sell the right-back if they receive an offer of
at least €35 million, according to tripleesportnews.
Danilo has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Dani Alves
at Juventus after previous reports that the Brazilian was willing to
stay at Madrid to fight for his place.
CHELSEA PLAN ALLI BID
Chelsea are prepared to make a potentially world-record breaking record offer for Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli, according to tripleesportnews.
Antonio Conte is keen to make a statement during this transfer
window, and wants to buy Alli despite him having a pricetag in excess
of €100 million.
Romelu Lukaku is also a target for Conte despite his own asking price being in the same region as that of Alli.
CHELSEA TO HOLD MORE ALEX SANDRO TALKS
Chelsea will hold further talks on Monday in their bid to sign
Juventus defender Alex Sandro in a club record £60 million deal, reports tripleesportnews.
Alex Sandro is likely to be offered more than £100,000 a week to join
Chelsea, with Juve unable to match the wages being put up by the
Premier League club.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with a bid for Alex Sandro,
but the Brazilian’s preference is to move to Stamford Bridge.
MAHREZ TO JOIN ARSENAL
Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez in the next few days, reports tripleesportnews.
Mahrez has been looking to leave Leicester this summer and had reportedly been holding out for an offer from Barcelona.
However, with no bid from Barcelona forthcoming, Mahrez is now
expected to join Arsenal, having also been linked with a move to
Chelsea.
BARCA TARGET BONUCCI
Barcelona have joined the hunt to sign Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, according to tripleesportnews.
Bonucci has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester City following
reports of a falling out with Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri.
However, Barcelona are weighing up an approach for the experienced
Italy international as new coach Ernesto Valverde looks to improve his
defensive options.
ALEX SANDRO TO SNUB CHELSEA
Alex Sandro is set to snub Chelsea and sign a new £93,000-a-week contract at Juventus, reports tripleesportnews.
The Blues have been heavily linked with a record-breaking move for the Brazilian full-back, but may be forced to look elsewhere.
CHELSEA WANT BAKAYOKO, RUDIGER & SANDRO
Chelsea are preparing a sensational move for Tiemoue Bakayoko,
Antonio Rudgier and Alex Sandro, a trio which will cost the Stamford
Bridge club £125 million, according to tripleesportnews.
Antonio Conte has marked the trio as his priority signings and Blues
chiefs are willing to back the Italian having delivered the Premier
League title last season.
A £35m deal for Monaco midfielder Bakayoko is said to be close, while
they have also opened talks to sign Rudiger for £30m. Juventus' Sandro
will set the club back around £60m.
TERRY SET FOR ASTON VILLA MOVE
Chelsea legend John Terry has agreed a move to Aston Villa on a one-year deal, talkSPORT reports.
The 36-year-old is a free agent this summer and has told other
interested clubs he has made up his mind to join Steve Bruce's side in
their fight to return to the Premier League.
MADRID COOL COURTOIS INTEREST
Thibaut Courtois is likely to resume contract talks with Chelsea
after Real Madrid cooled their interest in signing the goalkeeper,
according to the tripleesportnews.
Madrid have long been linked with a bid for Courtois, who has two
years left on his current contract, but are reportedly focusing on David
de Gea and Gianluigi Donnarumma as potential replacements for Keylor
Navas.
That has provided Chelsea with a boost in their attempts to persuade
the Belgium international to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
CONTE ANGRY OVER LUKAKU SWOOP
Antonio Conte is not happy with Chelsea's move for Romelu Lukaku rather than Andrea Belotti, according to the tripleesportnews.
