Chelsea
Here we go! Cesare Casadei is set to join Chelsea – click here to find out when the deal could be announced.
Chelsea are preparing for a fresh round of talks over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Todd Boehly wants a better understanding of the terms of the deal, and the player’s personal terms. Barcelona’s asking price is €30m and Xavi wants him to stay.
Wesley Fofana has agreed personal terms over a transfer to Chelsea. It’s still a difficult deal for both clubs to agree, however, with the Blues preparing a new bid.
There could also be major departures at Chelsea, with as many as FOUR players being targeted by Newcastle United following Amanda Staveley’s visit to Stamford Bridge for the Spurs game at the weekend.
Everton
Everton are finally closing on the signing of Idrissa Gueye. They’ve been working on it for a long time with Paris Saint-Germain. Both clubs are now confident about getting the deal over the line this week.
Meanwhile, Dele Alli is a target for Besiktas. Not yet clear if a loan or permanent move is more likely, but Everton will let the player decide. His priority is to play more regularly.
Hellas Verona
Juan Cabal is set to join Hellas Verona on a permanent deal for €3.5m fee from Colombian side Atletico Nacional. He’ll be in Italy in the coming hours to finalise the move.
Juventus
Adrien Rabiot currently looks set to stay at Juventus. His wage demands were too high for Manchester United and there are no negotiations with any other clubs for the moment.
Manchester United
The Mauro Icardi situation continues to be complicated, but he’s been offered to Manchester United as PSG look for a solution over his future.
The Adrien Rabiot deal is off – but Man Utd have two other midfield targets in mind as they discuss new options internally.
By the way, if it were up to me, this is who I’d sign to strengthen the Red Devils’ midfield!
