£51M man wants to sign with Chelsea – Powerhouse has agreed massive deal – Inter to sell Martinez

Kounde wants move to Chelsea – Rudiger has agreed summer move and Chelsea get Martinez boost in Chelsea roundup…

Chelsea are still Sevilla star Jules Kounde’s top choice ahead of the summer transfer window it has been claimed

Chelsea have been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks – most noticeably for the fact that one of the clubs very best players will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

We are of course talking about Antonio Rudiger – who has been one of the clubs best performers this season but has agreed a mammoth four-year deal with Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The club were on the brink of signing Kounde last summer but the move collapsed at the final hurdle, but with Rudiger now on his way out of the club, we have once again been linked with a transfer move

And the defender is still keen on a move to Stamford Bridge despite interest from a slew of other clubs, according to Football Talk- as the report states that the West Londoners are the ‘main suitors’ for the France international.

However, he won’t come cheap as Sevilla are demanding £51.4m for the centre-back and Chelsea still need to complete Todd Boehly’s takeover

We do not yet know how much money Tuchel will be handed in the transfer window to replace the players that he will be losing – but if he gets the cash to sign Kounde – it would be a very good move for the club to make

He is already brilliant and under the right manager – he could develop into one of the best defenders in world football and that £51 million asking price will look like a bargain in a few seasons

Germany defender Antonio Rudiger has agreed to join Real Madrid when his Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season.

It is no secret that Thomas Tuchel could be losing a whole host of defenders at the end of the season as a number of stars are out of contract, meaning that the German will need to bring in a few more players

Antonio Rudiger is the man that we will need to replace when he departs the club at the end of the season after he failed to agree a new contract at the Bridge – despite months of talks

Now reports on Goal have claimed The 29-year-old has completed a medical and put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal worth a reported €6.8 million (£5.7m/$7.1m) per season, plus bonuses.

The defender and his agent Sahr Senesie – his half-brother – are also due to receive a huge signing bonus with some reports placing it at €35 million (£29m/$37m) between them both.

There are many fans out there right now that were hoping to see Rudiger stay at the club – maybe sign a new contract – so the news that he has reportedly agreed a move to Madrid will come as a massive blow

He is a world class defender that we will surely miss – especially in that dressing room

But if he is going – then Tuchel will need the backing of the new board as they will have some serious issues at the back if another top-class defender is not signed by the club in the coming months

Cash-strapped Inter Milan will consider a £51million transfer offer for Lautaro Martinez, which has reportedly opened the door for Chelsea to make a move

It is no secret that there is alot of speculation about the long-term future of Romelu Lukaku – who has been a massive flop during his stay at the club – and could seek a move away when the transfer window opens up

Martinez is regarded as one of the finest strikers in the game right now and a player that has been tipped for a big money move in the coming window – with a whole host of clubs linked with a move

The Argentine, 24, has repeatedly insisted he is “happy” at the San Siro and wants to stay with the club he joined in 2018, where has scored 19 times in 23 league games this season and still has four years left to run on his current Inter contract.

But according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A reigning champs are in deep financial mess and will need to offload some players

Italian football is not what it used to be and the fact they did so poor in Europe this season means that they will need to let some players depart the club – for the right price

IcChelseanews View…

If the reports are true – he would be a bargain at £51 million

He really is a world class striker that is destined for the Premier League – he could be a real statement signing for the Blues

There is a new owner coming in – who will want to put his own stamp on the side – so the news that they may be able to land one of the best striker in Europe for a relative bargain.
