RB Leipzig, Milan and more Premier League clubs are also interested, no decision at this stage.

Hopefully one of the data-driven approaches we were told about.

Summary:

Inter and Chelsea will meet to discuss about Romelu Lukaku in the next days as his priority remains to play at Inter next season. 🔵 #CFC

Kalidou Koulibaly will be discussed too, Inter really want him.

Chelsea will ask for final price tag for André Onana before deciding on bid.

Real Madrid, internally with Carlo Ancelotti, feel the asking price for Kai Havertz, which is more than €60M plus add-ons, is ‘way too much’. At the moment, the deal is ‘really complicated and difficult’ unless #Chelsea change the asking price.

I'm not a Havertz hater, but I'd like to see him move on and it'll give us a bit of money back, might help with team selection next season too.

Mauricio Pochettino supported #Chelsea’s decision not to submit another proposal to Manuel Ugarte because he believes paying over the odds, in terms of salary, can cause friction within a squad.

Good to see that the ownership are taking Poch's view into account already.

What are your views on last season, blues?

I know the ownership didn't need to make this kind of post, or send us anything at all, but I'm glad they did. I'm glad they've acknowledged that we had a terrible season and like us, want more!

Here's hoping 23/24 is a much better season for us - who knows what the summer will bring!

Feel free to join in and discuss Chelsea Football Club. The more, the merrier and with it being silly season, there's going to be a lot to talk about!

Who's going where? Who's coming here? Who knows!
