‘Here we go’ x3 for Manchester United, plus update on midfielder search

Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham is a ‘here we go’ and it’s a crucial story because, as I reported previously, Manchester United were waiting for Wan-Bissaka to leave in order to be able to bring in a new right-back and also a new centre-back.

Now it’s happening, with Wan-Bissaka joining West Ham in a permanent transfer, and it’s an important sale as United could have lost him on a free when his contract would have expired next summer. Inter were also interested in the 26-year-old, though it would have been in a year’s time as a free agent, not in a swap deal this summer. Still, Wan-Bissaka decided to accept the offer from West Ham for a five-year contract, and he’ll have his medical tests with the Hammers this morning.

So, everything is done for Wan-Bissaka to move from Man United to West Ham for £15m – this is the value of the deal, and West Ham are truly on fire at the moment with a big summer that has seen them appoint Julen Lopetegui as their new manager whilst also completing deals like Wan-Bissaka, and also Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Guido Rodriguez, Crysencio Summerville and others.

As I previously reported, United want to attack the market and now we can say that it’s ‘here we go’ for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to move to Old Trafford. The deal is done with Bayern, and we have to congratulate United because the deal has been completed as they wanted – the timing was longer than expected, but it was worth it for United.

It was not always easy negotiating with Bayern, who for months insisted on guaranteed money, not add-ons, but United always wanted to get the deals done with add-ons. Now we can say that De Ligt will be joining the Red Devils for €45m plus €5m in add-ons. Bayern sources say these add-ons will be quite easy to reach, but it’s still structured quite favourably for United, and for Mazraoui it’s also €15m plus €5m in add-ons.

Now both players will travel to join United and both are set to sign five-year deals. In the case of De Ligt, this agreement was actually reached with his agent Rafaela Pimenta back in June, so he’s been waiting and waiting for United and was never negotiating with any other club. Mazraoui has also been waiting patiently since July, with United at times considering other right-back options like Vanderson and Denzel Dumfries. Still, Mazraoui looks a good option as he knows Erik ten Hag well from their time at Ajax, and he can fill in at left-back as well as on the right-hand side.

So, this is the double deal between Bayern and United, and now Bayern are expected to sign one more centre-back. Jonathan Tah’s agent is still working on the deal for him to move to the Allianz Arena so let’s wait for developments there, but he’s expected to be the new centre-back for the Bavarian giants.

United also remain busy in the search for a new midfielder – they spoke with the agents of Sander Berge and have considered other options, but their top target remains Manuel Ugarte. PSG will have to drop their price as United will not pay crazy money, otherwise they could also sell one player in that position, it could be Scott McTominay or Casemiro, we will see, but they will likely need a sale in order to finance the deal.

Still, United could also go for a cheaper midfielder, so Berge could be one to watch after contacts with his agent, while Sofyan Amrabat remains a player on their list even after they initially decided not to sign him permanently from Fiorentina after last season’s loan came to an end. Amrabat remains appreciated by Ten Hag, so there are some Plan B options behind Ugarte, but let’s wait and see what happens with PSG on that one.

Two new signings close for Chelsea, but “impossible” for this Blues star to stay

Samu Omorodion is in London and ready to sign his seven-year deal with Chelsea, while Pedro Neto is also close to completing the formalities of his move as the Blues plan to unveil him in front of their fans at Stamford Bridge today.

Still, we also know that there are a few Chelsea players now out of the project – Romelu Lukaku, who has a three-year deal in place with Napoli, but also Kepa Arrizabalaga who is still dreaming of Real Madrid.

As well as that, Armando Broja is no longer training with the first-team, and it’s the same with Trevoh Chalobah. Both players are on the market, with Chalobah’s asking price at around £30m. It’s also important to say that David Datro Fofana is another player who could leave Chelsea on a permanent transfer, or on loan with an obligation.

Lukaku will not stay at Chelsea. Impossible. I keep saying it’s Napoli for Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen story. Conte wants him, he wants to work with Conte, a three-year deal is ready and Napoli can accelerate soon. I don’t see any other option. Nothing is happening with Osimhen this week, there are no updates, but it’s not that strongly linked to Lukaku, and in any case the plan remains for the Nigerian striker to leave Napoli. Chelsea are still waiting, but for Osimhen we have to be patient because he is still not accepting a loan move, which is the only option at the moment for Chelsea, and also because Osimhen will not reduce his salary.

So, the conditions of the deal will have to change, or else other things could happen with the Osimhen story in the final few weeks of this summer’s transfer market.

There has been speculation about other potential Chelsea exits as well, with Carney Chukwuemeka linked with Barcelona. Still, my understanding is that there is nothing concrete so far. Chelsea have not received any bid for Chukwuemeka and the situation is currently quiet. Then in the next days we will see… but at the moment there has been no offer made to Chelsea from Barca.

Chelsea have also not received proposals from Juventus for Raheem Sterling so far, and Sterling has received no contact from Italy yet, despite rumours. What I’m told is that Juventus are working on the Nico Gonzalez deal with Fiorentina as their priority for the new winger.

Three Liverpool transfer updates

Liverpool are still working to convince Martin Zubimendi to join the club and are waiting for his final decision. Just a reminder that other clubs such as Arsenal have also been interested in the Real Sociedad midfielder in recent times but were unable to persuade him to move, though there were no negotiations from the Gunners for him this summer.

Elsewhere with Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho is closing in on completing his move to Brentford. It’s a permanent deal worth £20m plus add-ons. However, there is no news at all on Virgil van Dijk, despite some stories at various points this summer.

It’s currently very quiet as Liverpool are counting on Van Dijk and there are no significant updates so far. In my opinion, he should stay and continue as he’s a key player for Liverpool and new manager Arne Slot will need him and the quality and experience he brings.

In other news…

Jadon Sancho – There’s still no major update on Jadon Sancho’s future, but he remains one of the cases of this market. PSG have been making contact with Sancho’s agents, but there’s no bid yet, and he’s back in the Man United squad so let’s see what they will decide to do.

Marc Guehi – Newcastle are still there, yes. It’s not over yet. They want to try again but Crystal Palace insist on £65m fee. There are currently no other clubs involved, but Newcastle have not completed the deal yet so it’s one to follow in the next days.

Vladimir Coufal – There has been talk of West Ham sales, and it is the case that Coufal could leave and also some players upfront, but for now I can guarantee that focus remains on completing signings. The Wan-Bissaka deal is being sealed, then West Ham will discuss outgoings in the final three weeks, with nothing imminent yet.

The post Transfer news: ‘Here we go’ for Man Utd deals, two Chelsea signings imminent, Liverpool update & more appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Crystal Palace are considering Maxence Lacroix and Trevoh Chalobah as possible replacements should they sell Marc Guehi this summer, according to reports.

A product of the Chelsea youth system, Guehi has impressed during his three-year, 111-game spell with Palace, subsequently breaking into the England squad.

Guehi played a key role in the Three Lions’ run to the final of Euro 2024 this summer, eventually losing 2-1 to Spain in the final in Berlin.

However, the 24-year-old’s form has not gone unnoticed and according to Fabrizio Romano, Palace are now having to line up replacements as Newcastle United circle for Guehi.

Palace lining up Marc Guehi replacements

According to Romano, Wolfsburg’s Maxence Lacroix and Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah are top of Palace’s shortlist of centre-backs to sign should Guehi depart.

The Eagles are thought to face competition from abroad for Chalobah.

“On Trevoh Chalobah’s situation, Crystal Palace are interested but it’s the same with clubs from abroad. Chalobah will take his time to decide what will be the best opportunity for him,” Romano wrote in his Daily Briefing (via Give Me Sport).

“What I’m told too is that Crystal Palace also have Lacroix on their shortlist, a player that’s really appreciated by Glasner. So, a decision will be made once Marc Guehi’s future is clarified as talks with Newcastle are still ongoing, not done yet.”

West Ham will only move for Trippier if Wan-Bissaka deal breaks down

Talks with Aaron Wan-Bissaka continue for West Ham and he remains their priority for the right-back position, although it is a complicated deal to get over the line.

Despite the rumours, I’m not aware of talks for Arnau Martinez, and Kieran Trippier will only be an option if the Wan Bissaka deal falls through.

There’s no imminent move for Vladimir Coufal either from what I heard.

Chalobah will take his time and choose the best option

On Trevoh Chalobah’s situation, Crystal Palace are interested but it’s the same with clubs from abroad.

Chalobah will take his time to decide what will be the best opportunity for him.

What I’m told too is that Crystal Palace also have Lacroix on their shortlist, a player that’s really appreciated by Glasner.

So, a decision will be made once Marc Guehi’s future is clarified as talks with Newcastle are still ongoing, not done yet.

De Gea has a verbal agreement with Fiorentina

The former Manchester United goalkeeper, finally back after more than almost 13/14 months with no activity on the pitch, is gonna play in Serie A.

Let’s wait for the signature because we know that with agents it’s always kind of dangerous on the market, but the verbal agreement is in place.

David said yes to Fiorentina. One year contract plus one year option, €2m net salary plus €1m in add-ons.

Good luck to David, after a long time out of the game for him.

Arsenal continue working on Nketiah and Merino deals

I also wanted to mention what’s going on at Arsenal, because we know that they are busy with the situation of Eddie Nketiah after selling Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham.

It was kind of a tense situation with Marseille because they had an agreement with the player. Nketiah wants to go to Marseille, he’s open to joining and attracted by the project.

But the negotiations were really tense in the recent days because Marseille had a new bid rejected and so they started exploring other options.

What they are doing now is to renegotiate again with Arsenal for Eddie Nketiah.

What I’m hearing is that they presented a new proposal in the last 24 hours, but now they want to close the deal only at their conditions – because they already spent other money in other positions.

Remember that Arsenal are also working to close the deal for Mikel Merino.

He hasn’t been called up for Real Sociedad’s next game because they say that he’s not 100 percent fit, but we know the transfer is behind this story because Mikel Merino has an agreement with Arsenal.

The contract is already agreed. The player said yes. He knows that Mikel Arteta wants him. This is the reality.

Arsenal have been closing in on the deal since last week, but they need to agree on the payment structure, payment terms, so a work in progress.

Barca pushing for Nico but Athletic are relaxed

Lots of questions still regarding Nico Williams, and as I wrote on Substack yesterday guys, no changes…

Barça keep calling Nico’s agent, but at the moment Athletic Club remain completely confident and optimistic to keep him at the club.

They are sure that Nico will end up staying. Barça have a dream and they are trying to make it a reality, but Athletic are currently relaxed.

Still chances for Ivan Toney to find a new club

I think there’s still a chance for a move to happen this summer for Ivan Toney.

There could be movements in the next days and weeks, but there’s nothing imminent so far.

We have to see about which clubs have a concrete interest, because about 10 different clubs have been rumoured to be interested in him this summer.

I don’t want to put out names without any concrete updates but, for sure, it’s still an open situation.

Richarlison’s focus won’t change Tottenham’s plans for Solanke

There are no changes to Tottenham’s plans on signing Dominic Solanke, despite Richarlison wanting to stay.

Solanke remains the priority target.

Richarlison is fully focused on Spurs and Tottenham were already aware of this so his situation doesn’t change the plan to bring in more players.

It’s never easy to negotiate with Bournemouth but Spurs are trying.

Chris Smalling could be on the move this summer

Roma are looking for a new centre-back and Smalling could leave in the case of a good proposal for both Roma and the player.

Jadon Sancho’s situation is still wide open

I wanted to finish by mentioning Jadon Sancho. It’s important to say that his situation too remains open.

He is 100 percent part of the Man United team, but in case of a formal proposal in the next three weeks, there could still be movement for Jadon Sancho.

Man United could be open to doing business and the player could also be open to the move, so it all depends on the proposals.

Now, everything is okay, but PSG and others have been making contact with Sancho’s agents.

Still no bid but the situation is one to watch until the end of the window.

The post Transfer news: Trippier not West Ham’s priority, Sancho situation open and more appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Trevoh Chalobah is now open to the possibility of leaving Chelsea, the club where he has spent his entire career.

Chalobah’s future has been the talk of the town for some time. While he is no longer a part of Chelsea’s plans moving ahead and they are ready to sell him, the English centre-back had no intentions of leaving Stamford Bridge. But, according to a report from HITC, the Chelsea graduate has changed his stance on his future, he is ready to leave the club this summer.

Chalobah was promoted to their first team back in 2021. He had an exceptional start to his senior career but injuries have seen things go downhill. He has fallen down the pecking order at the London club and is not an important part of Enzo Maresca’s plans. While the 25-year-old still has four years left on his contract, the Blues are keen on getting rid of him.

They want to sanction his departure amidst interest from West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham. While Chalobah wasn’t keen on a move away, Chelsea have informed him that he won’t be a part of their Premier League squad next season. If he wants to play, he will have to leave the club. As a result, he has changed his stance and is now ready to hold talks about a move away from the club.

Chalobah has no shortage of suitors

With Marc Guehi’s future uncertain amidst interest from Newcastle United, Crystal Palace are looking at Chalobah as a potential replacement. With Tosin Adarabioyo making the move to Stamford Bridge, Fulham are also keen on defensive reinforcement and the Chelsea graduate is one of the names on their wishlist. While West Ham have signed Max Kilman, they are looking for an ideal partner for the ex-Wolves skipper and they feel the English centre-back could help their cause.

Since he is a homegrown player, his departure will result in pure profit for the Blues. Chalobah might not have done much at Chelsea in recent years but his ability to feature anywhere at the back and as a defensive midfielder could help any club he ends up joining.

The post 25-year-old Chelsea player has now changed his mind regarding summer exit appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Transfer business at Chelsea has been as brisk as ever under Todd Boehly’s watch, with a number of deals being done over the past days.

Conor Gallagher has sealed a move to Atletico Madrid, Mike Penders has signed for the Blues and will join them in 12 months time, whilst Estevao Willian, Marc Guiu and Filip Jorgensen are others to have been secured this summer.

In order to balance the books for the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), there still need to be outgoings at Stamford Bridge, and one of those is expected to be Trevoh Chalobah.

Chelsea ace won’t be rushed into quick decision

The defender, like his former captain, Gallagher, is understood to want to stay at Chelsea, but the need to stay on the right side of Financial Fair Play is seeing the Blues ease players out of the exit door.

The 25-year-old centre-back doesn’t appear to be in any mood to play their game, however.

“On Trevoh Chalobah’s situation, Crystal Palace are interested but it’s the same with clubs from abroad,” Fabrizio Romano said to CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing.

“Chalobah will take his time to decide what will be the best opportunity for him.

“What I’m told too is that Crystal Palace also have Lacroix on their shortlist, a player that’s really appreciated by Glasner.

“So, a decision will be made once Marc Guehi’s future is clarified as talks with Newcastle are still ongoing, not done yet.”

News that the Eagles appear to have entered the race might surprise the likes of West Ham who were also believed to be interested in Chalobah.

It’s clear that the player won’t be short of suitors, so it’s only right that he does his own due diligence before making the decision that is best for him.

Chalobah not caving into the pressure and cajoling from inside the four walls at Cobham or Stamford Bridge is also refreshing indeed.

The post Chelsea ace won’t be bullied by the club and “will take his time” to decide next career step appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Crystal Palace have reportedly emerged as the front-runners to seal the transfer of Chelsea defender and West Ham United target Trevoh Chalobah this summer.

The Blues have made Chalobah available for transfer in this window, with the 25-year-old missing out on a place in Enzo Maresca’s pre-season squad.

Chalobah has been linked with West Ham in recent times, but reports now suggest Chalobah to Palace could actually be the deal to watch.

Chalobah might not come cheap, but he looks like someone who’d be a good investment for a club like Palace, and many CFC fans will be wondering if it’s even the right decision to be selling him instead of other less impressive performers like Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.

With Palace at risk of losing Marc Guehi to Newcastle, it looks like smart business to have someone like Chalobah lined up as a replacement.

Guehi has been a key performer at Selhurst Park and it won’t be easy to find someone to fill that void, though Chalobah looks like one of the better options realistically available at this moment in time.

The post Palace in pole position to beat West Ham to signing of Chelsea ace appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Since Todd Boehly took over at Chelsea Football Club, there has never been a dull moment as far as transfer windows are concerned.

The American doesn’t appear to understand the need for continuity in a first-team squad, and on the face of it, prefers to treat all players as a commodity that should be bought or sold as required.

That’s all well and good in the world of business, but in the world of football things work a little bit differently.

West Ham primed to take advantage of Chelsea decision

Getting rid of your club captain for a profit in Conor Gallagher’s case isn’t a decision that would please the Stamford Bridge faithful by way of one recent example.

Bringing in highly-rated striker, Marc Guiu, from Barcelona only to potentially loan him out again straight away, as has happened with other Chelsea stars, might be said to be another head scratcher.

News from Sky Sports that West Ham are now seriously considering taking Trevoh Chalobah from their West London rivals when Chelsea have players in defence ahead of him such as Benoit Badiashile would appear to make little sense too.

Indeed, some Chelsea supporters seem to have taken to social media to express their feelings.

If Chelsea is serious, they will sell Benoit Badiashile immediately and recall Trevor Chalobah back to the squad.

As for Levi Colwill, he has no business starting for Chelsea and should only be a backup defender pic.twitter.com/l6f3utXbmj

If Boehly is intent on selling Chalobah because, like Gallagher, he would represent ‘pure profit’ in terms of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), then it clearly undermines what Enzo Maresca is trying to do at the club.

Just as it did for Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter before him.

If Todd Boehly truly loves Chelsea Football Club, then he needs to stop meddling and find another vehicle for his various business interests and investments.

The post West Ham could be set to cash in on another Chelsea transfer mistake from Todd Boehly appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Crystal Palace are interested in Chelsea outcast Trevoh Chalobah as a possible replacement for Marc Guehi if he leaves the club according to reports. 

The Eagles are facing a tough task to keep hold of the England international who is attracting strong interest from Newcastle.

Oliver Glasner’s side have already lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and won’t want to lose another key player with start of the season drawing ever closer.

Palace interested in Chalobah as possible Guehi replacement

The interest in Guehi has naturally lead to Palace thinking about how they would replace him and The Telegraph have reported that Chalobah is of interest along with Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix.

Chalobah has seemingly been exiled by Chelsea after being left out of the squad for their pre-season tour of America and the Blues are said to want around £25m for their academy graduate.

Chelsea are back in London now so possible movement on Chalobah’s future could gather pace before the season starts, with the defender said to want a move to a club with European football.

The 25-year-old is currently training with Chelsea’s development squad and that will reportedly remain the case following the club’s return from America.

Chalobah, who rejected a move to Nottingham Forest last summer has four years left on his current deal and is reportedly not in a rush to take a decision on his future.

Lacroix could be a more attainable option given he’s only got one year left on his contract and there’s the added bonus that he’s worked under Glasner previously.

Palace have been busy in the market and have made some good signings following a strong finish to last season which secured them a top ten finish.

Ismaïla Sarr, Daichi Kamada and Chadi Riad have all joined the club and a few more quality signings could see Palace make a real push for European football next season.

The post Crystal Palace interested in Chelsea outcast as they consider possible Marc Guehi replacements appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Manchester United have made two high profile signings so far in the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have managed to sign Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this summer and they are edging closer to complete a deal for Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui.

However, there is another defender they have made an enquiry about and it is Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, according to information provided by journalist Ben Jacobs to GiveMeSport.

The Blues are looking to sell Chalobah this summer after not taking him to their preseason tour.

The centre-back position has become crowded at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea signing Tosin Adarabioyo this summer while already having Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi.

The Blues are ready to cash in on their academy product this summer as the player has no future under new manager Enzo Maresca.

Man United are one of many clubs who are interested in signing the Chelsea player.

The Red Devils have lost two centre-backs this summer in Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala.

Despite the fact that they have signed Yoro, they need depth in the centre-back position and Victor Lindelof might be heading out of the club soon.

Chelsea’s €40m transfer falls through after major problem finalising contract

Aug 11 2024, 22:54

Jacobs has told GiveMeSport:

“Trevoh Chalobah is contracted to Chelsea until 2028, so he can be quite picky with his next club. He is naturally disappointed to have been excluded from Chelsea’s pre-season tour of America, but won’t exit unless the club is right. He wants European football, or at worst a club that he believes can get it consistently and soon.

“Multiple Premier League clubs have enquired, including Manchester United, but Chelsea don’t have any offers yet. Chelsea want a minimum of £25m and may even hold out for closer to £30m.”

Chelsea defender can be a valuable addition to Man United

Man United’s priority this summer has been to strengthen the centre-back position.

They struggled at the back last season and conceded goals for fun which has made manager Erik ten Hag and the club’s hierarchy to focus on defensive additions.

They are interested in Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt as well as Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite.

From their transfer dealings and interest, it feels like the Red Devils plan to completely overhaul their defense and bring new and young defenders who can perform at the top level.

The post Man United make enquiry for 25-year-old Chelsea player Blues are looking to sell appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Chelsea have decided to sell one of their first team players this summer who played an important part in their revival last season.

Trevoh Chalobah was left out of Chelsea’s squad for the preseason tour as the club have decided to sell him this summer in order to raise funds.

After the arrival of new manager Enzo Maresca at the club, the Blues are going through some big changes at the summer.

A number of players have been signed including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Tosin Adarabioyo and others while Thiago Silva has left.

After finishing sixth in the league last season, Mauricio Pochettino was shown the exit door at the club.

Now, Chalobah faces the same fate at Stamford Bridge with the Blues ready to sell him and they have placed a price tag of £35m on him, according to information provided by Fabrizio Romano to GiveMeSport.

He said:

“The price tag wanted by Chelsea is something between £30-35million for Trevoh Chalobah. There are proposals from the Premier League and from abroad.

“There is interest but, at the moment, still no formal proposal on the table at Chelsea. They’re also waiting to see what happens. My feeling is that it’s going to take some time before we know the new club of Chalobah.”

The journalist has confirmed that the defender has interest from Premier League clubs as well as clubs outside of England.

Chelsea will miss the versatility of Trevoh Chalobah

The defender played 13 Premier League matches last season but he was used at the end of the season by Pochettino and he helped the club in reviving their form.

The Blues spent most of last season in the midtable position but gained momentum towards the end and finished in the European places.

Losing Chalobah would be a blow for the club but they are happy to take £30-35million for him so that they can use that in their transfer business.
