      Chelsea launch final transfer bid for Reece James’ sister Lauren after growing frustrated in talks with Man Utd

      by

      CHELSEA are reportedly set to make a summer swoop for Manchester United starlet Lauren James following their fourth cup double-winning season.  And Goal claims the WSL juggernauts’ bid is set to be their final offer with the league champs growing impatient with discussions to sign the striker.

      A move to Chelsea would Lauren James united with brother Reece who plays for the club’s Premier League side
      The London-born forward,19, is reported to be in negotiations over a move to Emma Hayes WSL-winning side who were defeated by Barcelona in last season’s Women’s Champions League final. 
      However, Goal says talks between United and the Kingsmeadow outfit, who won last term’s league title and Conti cup, have hit a hurdle in recent weeks. 
      Should a Kingsmeadow move for James come to fruition it would see the Red Devils starlet uniting with her England and Blues full-back brother Reece who is 21. 
      And it would see the pair become the only brother-sister duo to be playing for a top club competing in the Prem and the Women’s Super League. 
      James, 19, has been heavily linked with a potential switch to Chelsea following a series of impressive performances for Man United over the past three seasons.
      The forward has netted 22 times in 40 Red Devils appearances across all competitions since joining the newly structured club in July 2018. 
      And the player, who moved to United after spending four years at Arsenal, helped the side to win promotion to the WSL for the first time in their history.
      James, who received her first England call-up in November 2020 under former Lionesses boss Phil Neville, has been highlighted as a rising star by Uefa.

      The WSL ace was one of ten players featured in the European football body’s 2021 ‘ones to watch list’.
      It is reported James is currently working with personal trainer Tom Joyce in a bid to maintain her  ahead of next season. 
      Earlier this year it was rumoured the forward was also a transfer target for French women’s football giants Lyon.

      Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be the frontrunners for his signature.
      But according to El Chiringuito, Chelsea are one of four clubs to have offered the 35-year-old terms.
      The others in the race are Manchester City, Bayern Munich and PSG.
      ESPN claim the veteran defender is going through the pros and cons of each potential move.
      It’s said that City are willing to offer Ramos a two-year contract at Eastlands, which they’d ‘reassess’ in the summer of 2023.
      Ramos, however, is said to have reservations about a move to Manchester.
      The four-time Champions League winner is reportedly concerned about the ‘impact’ a move to Manchester would have on his four sons, and wife Pilar Rubio.

      Ramos’ imminent exit from Madrid brings about the end of a 16-year love affair with Los Blancos.
      But according to Real president Florentino Perez, the former Sevilla man was offered a new deal at the Bernabeu.
      During an appearance on El Transistor, Perez said: “I had a tough time at Sergio Ramos’ farewell [event].
      “I love Sergio Ramos like a son.
      “I wasn’t with him at the [farewell] press conference because I’ve never been to a press conference with any player.
      “I have an adoration for Sergio Ramos, and I’m not going to talk about the bickering.
      “He has been a legend at Real Madrid and that’s what we Real Madrid fans are left with.
      “We offered him a contract, we gave him a deadline and he didn’t accept it.
      “He was thinking about other things and life goes on. He will do very well for sure, and this is his home.
      “I would be delighted if Sergio Ramos went to a club that offered him what we have not been able to offer him.”

      Chelsea transfer blow as Achraf Hakimi’s agent confirms Inter star is set for PSG move

      by

      CHELSEA have been dealt a transfer blow with Achraf Hakimi’s agent confirming his client is set for Paris Saint-Germain.The right-back, 22, has been linked with a move away from the San Siro in recent months.

      But the Moroccan looks on course to link up with Mauricio Pochettino at the Parc des Princes rather than Thomas Tuchel in West London.
      His agent did not reveal a contract is signed just yet with the French giants – but hinted it is very close.
      Alejandro Camano told reporters: “We talked about several things, we can’t say yet that Hakimi is a new PSG player.
      “We talked about everything.
      “If Hakimi is sad to leave Inter? Those who leave Inter are always sad.”
      Hakimi spent 14 years with hometown club Real Madrid before joining Inter last summer on a five-year deal for around £36million.
      But just one successful season later – he racked up seven goals and ten assists in 37 Serie A appearances as the Nerazzurri won the league – the defender will move on.
      European champions Chelsea were interested and reportedly offered £52m plus Marcos Alonso.

      But Poch has swooped with a £59.8m bid and that is expected to be enough to land the attack-minded wing-back.
      Camano also represents Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, who is another player linked with a move away.
      But he insisted the Argentina international striker is settled in Milan.
      The agent added: “Martinez stays here, now he’s in Argentina for the Copa America.
      “Lautaro is an Inter player, he has a two-year contract and is happy here.”

      Chelsea interested in Barcelona outcast Miralem Pjanic but face three-club transfer battle with Juventus and PSG

      by

      MIRALEM PJANIC is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a Barcelona fire sale.The LaLiga giants are facing mounting debt and have been told to drastically cut their wage bill.

      Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho and Martin Braithwaite are just some of the players linked with moves this summer.
      According to ESPN, midfielder Pjanic is among them.
      The 31-year-old signed only 12 months ago from Juventus in a contrived swap deal for Brazilian playmaker Arthur Melo.
      Yet he has failed to light up the Camp Nou and did not score a goal during their failed LaLiga title bid.
      Therefore Barcelona are said to be ready to accept a reasonable bid for Pjanic.
      Massimiliano Allegri signed the Bosnian for Juventus in 2016 and helped turn him into one of the world’s top central midfielders.

      The Italian is now back in Turin for the new season and is reportedly interested in securing Pjanic’s return.
      But the Old Lady are thought to not be too keen on a permanent transfer with a significant fee.
      Whether a loan deal is of interest to Barcelona remains to be seen.
      Earlier in the summer, the player was said to want a move back to Italy.

      Chelsea and PSG have also been named by Le10Sport as considering a loan bid.
      Thomas Tuchel is preparing to spend big to turn his Blues team into Premier League title challengers.
      On the German’s wishlist is a new centre-back with Sevilla’s Jules Kounde strongly linked alongside Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.
      Former striker Romelu Lukaku has also been lined up but is not thought to be ready to leave Inter Milan.

      Chelsea transfer blow as Romelu Lukaku rules OUT Premier League return as Thomas Tuchel eyes Inter Milan striker

      by

      ROMELU LUKAKU appears to have ruled out a return to the Premier League and dashed Chelsea’s hopes of signing him.The Belgian striker helped his country into the last-eight of Euro 2020 by defeating Portugal 1-0 last night.

      That comes on the back of his impressive season in Italy in which his goals helped fire Inter Milan to the Serie A title.
       That has led to Blues boss Thomas Tuchel making the 28-year-old, who was originally on Chelsea’s books between 2011 and 2014, one of his top summer targets.
      We reported how they were about to step up plans to re-sign Lukaku in a £90million-plus deal.
      However, when quizzed on a possible return to England, he stated he ‘doesn’t think’ a transfer would materialise.
      And he also outlined his commitment to Inter.
      Lukaku has scored 64 times over the past two seasons since his arrival at the San Siro.
      But the Italian champions are in financial turmoil and may have to cash in on their top stars after already losing boss Antonio Conte.
      That led to hopes of Tuchel landing the hotshot – but he dashed them again on Twitter.

      Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair tweeted Lukaku yesterday and asked him: “Fancy the blue half of Manchester, Rom?”
      But Lukaku responded by stating: “I am happy at Inter.”
      The ace and his teammates are now preparing for their crunch quarter-final date with Italy in Munich on Friday.

      Chelsea and Man Utd joined by Tottenham in transfer race for Sevilla star Jules Kounde

      by

      TOTTENHAM have joined Chelsea and Manchester United in the race for Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, reports say. The Frenchman is one of the most sought after defenders in the world currently following a breakthrough season in Spain.

      Managerless Spurs, still yet to confirm a replacement for Jose Mourinho, are the latest club interested in Kounde, according to The Guardian.
      It is claimed he currently has a £69million release clause, but can be expected to move for much less than that in the summer window.
      Real Madrid and Arsenal are also long-term admirers of Kounde – who has just helped France reach the knockout stages of the Euros.
      The Gunners have since closed in on a move for Brighton and England’s Ben White, 23.
      And while Madrid said goodbye to club legend Sergio Ramos, 35, they already have David Alaba, 29, signed as a replacement.
      Kounde, 22, made 49 appearances for Sevilla last season, qualifying for the Champions League just two points behind Barcelona. 
      Only champions Atletico Madrid and Real conceded fewer league goals than Sevilla last term.
      But Kounde put Europe’s elite on red alert last month when he revealed his future could be destined for a move away.

      He said: “I may have to change clubs this summer. I have not decided anything.
      “My goal is, one day, to evolve into a great club to always try to progress, win trophies.
      “To be able to start the season each year by telling yourself that the goal is win a particular trophy. I might have to move, but that’s not relevant today.”

      by

      He did manage 12 goals and 15 assists in 52 games but at times lacked confidence and missed big chances.
      Still, manager Thomas Tuchel kept faith in the forward and even started him in the Champions League final against Manchester City.
      And despite the Blues winning their second European cup, Werner’s future remained up in the air.
      Carlo Ancelotti, who has returned to Madrid from Everton, was a rumoured admirer of the pacey attacker.
      But his agent all-but ruled out a departure after one year with Chelsea, as he insisted the player is happy in West London.
      Karlheinz Forsterbe told Sport1: “You can’t rule out anything, but if I had to assess it at the moment, then I would say very clearly that Timo will stay at Chelsea.
      “He feels comfortable there. A move will not be an issue in the foreseeable future.”
      Werner, 25, was helped settle in at Chelsea alongside fellow summer signing Kai Havertz, 22, by Germany team-mate Toni Rudiger, 28.

      Before the trio got their hands on the Champions League trophy in May, Werner confirmed he had no desire to leave Stamford Bride.
      He said: “In terms of scoring and missing chances, it was the worst season. But in the end I still have 27 goal contributions.
      “I think I’m the first in our team for that, so it was not everything bad and I don’t think about leaving the club this year, for sure not.
      “And also for the next year because I think we have a very good team and I hope to come back to scoring and that I can do everything that’s expected of me.”

      by

      CHELSEA defender Malang Sarr is wanted by Fenerbahce, according to reports in Turkey.Sarr, 22, signed for the Blues last summer, before joining Porto on loan.
      Malang Sarr is wanted by Fenerbahce but is yet to make an appearance for Chelsea
      And he could depart on a temporary basis once again, with Turkish newspaper Takvim reporting Fenerbahce’s interest.
      The Turkish giants were keen on Sarr last summer but were beaten to his signature by Chelsea, with the centre-back joining on a free and signing a five-year deal.
      That did not deter Fenerbahce’s interest in the Frenchman, however.
      And Sarr is not thought to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the upcoming season, so he could leave on loan.
      He should be keen to impress after struggling from a lack of game time last term.
      Sarr made just eight league appearances at Porto.
      He did gain valuable experience in the Champions League, helping to keep a clean sheet against Manchester City and featuring in the second leg as Porto knocked out Juventus.
