Chelsea C.F. 🔵🦁

🚨🔵 Chelsea will continue talks with Sunderland this week for Granit Xhaka deal, trying to unlock the negotiation. £8m not enough but player keeps on pushing to join #CFC and work again under Xabi Alonso. [Via Fabrizio Romano]

‼️ Chelsea have approached HP Inc. regarding a main sponsorship deal, and have also lowered its asking price for a front-of-shirt sponsorship deal to £45m-£50m per year. ‼️ Chelsea are also negotiating with several cryptocurrency companies (incl. Kraken, Bitpanda) to replace FPT on the shirt sleeve [Via Lukasz Baczek]

🚨 Chelsea value Trevoh Chalobah at €40m with fee to be negotiated as many clubs are keen. Como’s bid exclusively revealed as well as Inter interest are both 100% confirmed. €25m won’t surely be enough. [via Fabrizio Romano]

🚨🔵 The agreement between Chelsea and Granit Xhaka on personal terms is guaranteed. Xhaka is driving the move personally as he wants Chelsea, wants to reunite with Xabi Alonso and wants to live in London. Deal depends on the clubs. [via Fabrizio Romano]

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea are considering a move for Pep Chavarría to replace Cucurella. First contacts took place for the 28 year old left back from Rayo Vallecano. [via MatteMoretto]

🚨 🇫🇷 JUST IN: Chelsea have started contacts with Lacroix, and Lacroix would open doors to Chelsea, he’s interested! I will tell you more soon. Chelsea and Crystal Palace have good relationship, also with his agent. 🚨 Chelsea believe Malo Gusto is a very special player in a fullbacks market which is quite complicated, in their eyes, he’s worth £75m. [Via Fabrizio Romano]

🚨🔵 Chelsea have started contacts to begin Maxence Lacroix operation. 🔛 French centre back on top of #CFC list and higher than Jacobo Ramón with club to club talks to follow. Lacroix, open to the move. Another one for Chelsea after Palestra. ➕ [via Fabrizio Romano]

Happy birthday, Nicolas Jackson! 🇸🇳

Happy birthday, Florent Malouda! 💙

Marc Cucurella on Xabi Alonso’s project at Chelsea: 🗣 “Yes. I’ve spoken with him and he inspired a lot of confidence in me. I’ve also spoken with Grimaldo and Borja, who have worked with him, and they spoke very highly of him. The project seems very interesting.”

Yan Diomande dismisses comparisons to Drogba: 🗣 "I don’t model myself after anyone... Drogba is a good player, but he is not the player I model myself after because we have a different way of playing, so... I wouldn’t say Drogba, but he is a great legend, yes. You can also see it this way: He is a role model — not for me, but for every player in my country, and I think also for this generation of Africans, for young players."
