      Chelsea ‘preparing £150m Erling Haaland transfer bid after positive talks with Borussia Dortmund star’s camp’

      by

      CHELSEA are preparing a bid of £150million for Erling Haaland after holding talks with his representatives, according to reports. The Blues are on the hunt for a striker this summer despite winning the Champions League last season.

      Timo Werner, 25, managed only 12 goals with Tammy Abraham, 23, and Olivier Giroud, 34, also facing uncertain futures.
      Borussia Dortmund goal machine Haaland, 20, has emerged as their priority target.
      According to 90Min, Chelsea have started negotiations with the Norwegian’s agent Mino Raiola.
      Personal terms are said to be not an issue and Haaland is open to a move to West London.
      It is understood Dortmund have set a £150m price tag on the forward, but the Blues see an offer of £135m more preferable.
      Haaland has a £65m release clause come into play next year but if he remains at Dortmund, it will spark an even bigger transfer pursuit.
      It leaves Chelsea considering matching the fee the German side have laid out already.
      Dortmund are in no rush to sell Haaland, having agreed a £73m deal for winger Jadon Sancho, 21, to leave for Manchester United.

      Chelsea are also looking to make space in their squad with AC Milan in talks to sign Frenchman Giroud.
      The World Cup winner extended his Stamford Bridge contract in April, with the European Champions unwilling to let him leave for nothing.
      Milan, runners up to rivals Inter in the league last season, are still in talks with Giroud’s agent over a potential £3.5m move.

      Tapsoba has followed both Chelsea and Kai Havertz on Instagram
      Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have all been linked with a move for Tapsoba.
      Boss Thomas Tuchel is eager to land a new central defender with Brighton’s Ben White also on the transfer shortlist.
      But Tapsoba is making it no secret of his desire to move to West London after following Chelsea and potential future team-mate Kai Havertz on the social media platform.
      It comes just a day after he was quizzed on potential links to a move to Stamford Bridge.
      As quoted by Afriquesports, via Goal journalist Ronan Murphy, Tapsoba said: “With Chelsea, for the moment, there is nothing concrete, nothing official.
      “What I can say is that I will start my season with Bayer Leverkusen. We keep our fingers crossed for God to guide us to the right path.”
      Towering Tapsoba played 31 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen last season, helping his side to qualify for the Europa League.

      The German side are unlikely to let their key man leave on the cheap with five years remaining on his contract.
      He has no release clause with reports stating his could even cost a whopping £52m.
      Should Chelsea fail to land Tapsoba, they could switch their focus back to Jules Kounde, another defender on the transfer wishlist.

      Roma target Chelsea outcast Emerson over summer transfer to replace Leonardo Spinazzola with Marcelo talk ‘fake news’

      by

      ROMA are plotting a move for Chelsea defender Emerson, according to reports.The left-back is one of several players who could reportedly leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with Marcos Alonso also linked with an exit.

      Lazio are believed to be interested in Emerson but could now be challenged by rivals Roma, reports Gianluca Di Marzio.
      They view the Italy ace as a replacement for Leonardo Spinnazola, who could be out for up to six months with an Achilles injury.
      Another Italian journalist, Angelo Mangiante, reports Chelsea are seeking £21.4million for Emerson, despite the fact he played just two league games last season.
      Emerson has spent three years at Chelsea after joining from Roma.
      And the Serie A side are chasing the 26-year-old, not Real Madrid ace Marcelo, claims Fabrizio Romano.
      He describes Roma’s reported interest in the Brazilian as “fake news”, and Di Marzio instead suggests Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Ramy Bensebaini is the player on their radar.
      And Roma may have to seek out a deal for the Algerian since Emerson has also attracted attention from Inter Milan and Napoli.

      Juventus have also been linked with Emerson in the past so he looks destined to return to Serie A.
      His exit could allow Chelsea to bring in a full-back, though so far the club’s transfer efforts seem focused on signing a centre-back.
      England star Ben White and Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba have both been reported as targets for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

      Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba wants to move to Chelsea this summer

      Manchester United and Arsenal are said to be keen on Tapsoba but it seems the 22-year-old has his heart set on west London.
      As quoted by Afriquesports, via Goal journalist Ronan Murphy, Tapsoba said: “With Chelsea, for the moment, there is nothing concrete, nothing official.
      “What I can say is that I will start my season with Bayer Leverkusen. We keep our fingers crossed for God to guide us to the right path.”
      Towering Tapsoba played 31 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen last season, helping his side to qualify for the Europa League.
      And after the successful signing of Kai Havertz last summer, Chelsea could be keen to raid Leverkusen of another young talent.
      The 6ft 4in cenre-back was reportedly top of Arsenal’s transfer wishlist but could be out of their price range at £52million, as Gunners sporting director Edu will need to sell players in order to buy.
      Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel is believed to be keen on adding a centre-back to the squad but looks set to miss out on Sergio Ramos, who is close to joining PSG.

      The Blues are also reportedly keen on hijacking Arsenal’s deal for England star Ben White.
      The club is believed to have told the Brighton ace they are keen on signing him and hold the advantage of being able to offer him Champions League football.

      And Haaland, 20, is at the top of Chelsea’s wish list.
      The Borussia Dortmund star has scored 57 goals across 59 games during 18 months in Germany.
      And Chelsea are ready to shatter their club transfer record by sealing a deal potentially worth £150million.
      Haaland reportedly ‘expects’ at Stamford Bridge switch this summer.
      And it’s even been claimed he’s already agreed lucrative personal terms on a five-year contract.
      Chelsea fans believe having Haaland up top will see them challenge Manchester City for the title next term.
      And Petit, who spent three years in south-west London, has urged the Blues to pull out all the stops considering their current lack of firepower.
      Petit told Paddy Power: “I’ll make it simple. Giroud is on his way out of Chelsea, Tammy Abraham is probably leaving on loan.

      “Timo Werner is still struggling to score goals consistently and Kai Havertz is not a striker. Chelsea need a new striker and someone who scores lots of goals.
      “Haaland is the answer. He’s strong, powerful and young with a bright future in front of him.
      “Haaland’s value is already very high, and connections with Tuchel increase his chance of joining Chelsea.
      “Offensively, he could become the finisher that Chelsea really need. I can imagine his relationship with Mount, Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech making him score lots of goals at Stamford Bridge. 
      “Chelsea needs a top striker, it’s as simple as that.”

      How Brighton could line up next season with Dan James and Joe Rodon but no Ben White after transfer spree

      by

      BRIGHTON are in danger of losing defender Ben White, with several Premier League giants reportedly after the England star.But manager Graham Potter is believed to be interested in reinvesting some of White’s transfer fee on two of his former players.

      The ex-Swansea boss is rumoured to be interested in working with Manchester United winger Dan James again.
      The 23-year-old played 33 Championship games under Potter during the 2018-19 season before moving to the Red Devils for a reported £15million.
      James featured just 15 times in the Premier League for United last term and could be persuaded by the promise of regular top-flight football.
      Rodon was also a regular under Potter at Swansea during the 2018-19 campaign, playing 27 Championship games at centre-back.
      The 23-year-old went on to join Spurs last October but, like James, struggled to get on the pitch, making just 14 appearances in all competitions.
      Rodon could replace White in Brighton’s defence as he’s been rumoured to be on the verge of leaving the south coast.

      Arsenal are the favourites to sign the England international but Chelsea are reportedly planning on making a last-minute offer for the player.
      Rodon would likely partner captain Lewis Dunk at their heart of Brighton’s defence with full-backs Tariq Lamptey and Dan Burn playing either side.
      Potter could continue with a 4-3-3 formation, deploying Adam Lallana, Yves Bissouma and another potential signing – Enock Mwepu – in midfield.
      Brighton are interested in buying the 23-year-old Zambia international from Red Bull Salzburg, according to The Athletic.
      Mwepu made 29 league appearances last term as Salzburg won their eighth consecutive Austrian title.

      The English coach will be hoping not to lose star midfielder Bissouma, who’s been linked with a move to several Prem clubs this summer.
      If James does swap Manchester for the seaside, he could play on the right of a front three alongside Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck.
      Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is likely to remain Potter’s No1 between the sticks having been included in Spain’s squad for Euro 2020.
      The 23-year-old stopper has enjoyed a remarkable rise in recent months, spending the 2019-20 season on loan at then League One side Rochdale.

      How Chelsea could line up with Erling Haaland, Declan Rice and Ben White if they pull off amazing triple transfer swoop

      by

      CHELSEA boss Thomas Tuchel has lined up a trio of high-profile targets to bolster the spine of his squad.With a Champions League win under his belt, owner Roman Abramovich is ready to give the German boss a transfer warchest to improve the squad.

      And that could mean wonderkid Erling Haaland, Euros star Declan Rice and Ben White could be heading to Stamford Bridge.
      Tuchel is eager to land a new front man and Borussia Dortmund ace Haaland is at the top of his shortlist.
      It has even been reported that Chelsea have agreed personal terms with the 20-year-old although a transfer fee remains the biggest stumbling block.
      Dortmund want £150million for their main man this summer but that price drops to around £69m next year due to a release clause in his contract.
      Chelsea are also eager to bolster their midfield with the addition of long-standing target Rice.
      The defensive midfielder’s stock continues to grow while he stars for England in their quest for Euros glory.
      Rice, 22, will not leave on the cheap with West Ham adamant they won’t cash in on their main man.
      But it is believed an offer of around £100m could convince the Hammers to cash in with Rice eager to make the move back to his boyhood club.

      His arrival would surely make Chelsea’s midfield one of the strongest in Europe if he lines up alongside N’Golo Kante.
      Tuchel is also ready to improve his defence by pipping Arsenal to the signature of Ben White.
      The Brighton ace appeared to be heading to the Emirates in a £50m deal.
      But the Transfer Window Podcast claims the Blues have told the Brighton defender they want to sign him this summer.
      Chelsea have a space free for a new central defender following Fikayo Tomori’s AC Milan move.

      Chelsea in talks with Eduardo Camavinga’s agent after incredulous Rennes ‘laugh’ at Man Utd’s proposed £26m transfer bid

      by

      CHELSEA have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race to prise French starlet Eduardo Camavinga away from Rennes.With the midfielder having just one year left on his deal at Roazhon Park, the Ligue 1 side are expected to cash in on the 18-year-old.

      The Red Devils are understood to be eyeing up an offer for the Les Bleus international, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claiming he could be available for as little as £26million.
      It has been stated that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were making progress in their quest to lure the teenager to Old Trafford.
      But according to Get French Football News, the player’s priority is to join Paris Saint-Germain, though they are yet to make a formal bid.
      They also state that Thomas Tuchel is pushing for a move, with the Blues in talks with Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett.
      Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is willing to splash the cash this summer following the club’s second Champions League crown.
      Real Madrid are also said to be in negotiations with Barnett as Carlo Ancelotti looks to provide competition for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
      Meanwhile GFFN have revealed that the reported £26m price tag for Camavinga is far from the truth.
      A source told the news outlet that they would laugh should United or any other club offered that sum for Camavinga, with the bid to be instantly turned down.

      Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Camavinga, with Mikel Arteta claimed to have made him his top target.
      And the Gunners were given a boost in their hopes of securing his services after Barnett declared the player would be willing to join a team not competing in a European tournament.
      He said: “Believe me we have a lot of offers for this year, a lot of offers, and good ones. I mean top, top clubs.
      “He is good enough [to play for a Champions League club]. But we don’t want to rush anybody. I am an old man and I’ve learnt a lot of lessons in football as well.
      “There is the right time to move on and playing games is the most important thing at his age. Playing in a good club is nice and learning for him.”
