Attacker can join Chelsea for £30M, Maresca asks for £54M signing, Chelsea wants £60M striker
Here is a roundup of all the latest Chelsea fc news, gossip and transfer talks from icchelseanews that we think you guys could have missed today…
It has been claimed that new CHELSEA boss Enzo Maresca has told the club that he would like Jules Kounde signed from Barcelona
Kounde is a player that the club have been linked with ever since his days with Sevilla – but have never been able to convince the Frenchman that a move to the Premier League is one he needs to make.
However – Kounde’s future in Spain now looks uncertain as the Spaniards are going to sell a number of players in the coming transfer window in hope that they can freshen up the side after a disappointing campaign.
He has already attracted interest from several European giants including Paris Saint-Germain, Inter and Manchester United
But now reports in Spain have claimed that Enzo Maresca has personally asked the board to sign Kounde from Barcelona as the Frenchman star fits the style of play that he would like to employ at Stamford Bridge.
IcChelseanews View…
The club allowed Thiago Silva to leave the club and head back to Brazil – so they will need to sign a ready-made replacement for the world class act, But Kounde is a man that they have wanted for some time and is a player that could be one of the best – he would be a brilliant signing.
£60M FOR MBEUMO
Brentford have slapped an asking price of £60m on Bryan Mbeumo as he continues to be linked with the likes of CHELSEA after an impressive start to the new Premier League season for the attacker.
We started the new season in fine fashion with many tipping the Blues to get back into those Champions League places, although there has been some dodgy performances for Enzo Maresca’s side this campaign.
The Blues have struggled in front of goal at times this season, with Nicolas Jackson not scoring the goals that the club would like and Christopher Nkunku only getting real minutes in Europe, leading to reports that Mbeumo is a player that the club are very much interested in signing.
What is the Latest?
Only Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has more goals than Mbeumo so far this season and reports say his form has caught the eye of Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle.
Given the growing interest in Mbeumo, Brentford are planning to tie him down until the summer of 2027 but are reportedly open to selling if a club makes an offer in the region of £60m According to Fichajes.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has recently tipped Mbeumo to join a ‘bigger club’ at some stage: ‘He’s added another layer this year,’ he said earlier in the season. ‘I’m convinced one day he’ll play for a bigger club.
‘I’d definitely buy him if I were at a bigger club. That said, he’s very happy here.’
RAYAN CHERKI PRICE SET
CHELSEA target Rayan Cherki has been made available by Lyon for €30 million as interest in the player looks to make that next step in his career..
Cherki is a man that is now on the agenda of the board – as he fits the criteria of being one of the most exciting young players in the game that has the ability to develop into one of the best stars in the game.
It has been claimed that Lyon do not want to sell – but that has not stopped the reports in the media that the club will make contact over a possible deal for the talented star in the coming windows.
WHAT IS THE LATEST –
The 21-year-old French midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais, has become a top target for several big-name teams in Europe, as his contract with Lyon nears expiry on June 30, 2025.
Aware of Cherki’s contractual situation, According to Foot Mercato, the 7-time Ligue 1 Champions have set an asking price of €30m — although they are hoping for a higher fee for a promising young talent.
WILL CHELSEA MAKE A MOVE IN JANUARY?
What we have seen from that board in the last couple of windows, is that if they want a player, they will pay whatever it takes to get a transfer deal done.
Cherki is a real talent guys, he could be a brilliant addition to that Blues squad if they reignite their interest in the winter window, which we believe will happen as they simply cannot stop themselves from buying players.
