‼️ Chalobah to Como is close: Chelsea's response is expected today to their €25m fixed-term offer plus €5m in easily attainable bonuses.

An agreement with the player has been in place for days, and Trevor is happy to embrace the project with Fabregas.

Maxence Lacroix will have his Chelsea medical today before signing his contract! ✅

[iamsmartan @Jonny1985]

Chelsea valued 50mn pounds for Lacroix from start and never entertained Palace's high fee, personal terms agreed long ago and pushed for 50mn deal.

Good relations where they might ask someone else from us now/future 👀 #cfc

[iamsmartan @Jonny1985]

Lacroix is a Blue. Experienced CB from PL. Scouted from 2023. Finally signs for Chelsea. 💙 #cfc

[iamsmartan @Jonny1985]

Understand Josh name came up in conversations from Palace, one to see what happens with him. He wants to leave for minutes. #cfc

Lacroix joins Chelsea for 52mn pounds. After @David_Ornstein

[iamsmartan @Jonny1985]

Newcastle have no plans to sell Bruno Guimaraes, with a fee around £70M considered unacceptable.

The Brazilian is expected to return and join Newcastle's training camp in La Manga.
Arsenal would need to make an exceptional offer before Newcastle even consider changing their mind

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea have ended their pursuit of Adam Wharton and are now fully focused on Bruno Guimarães and Alex Scott.

🚨 Chelsea have discussed Alejbegovic with Alonso. This would be a project player, the player would need to decide if he wants Chelsea for present or future, or to go to Italy and be immediately an important player. (@FabrizioRomano)

@dammiedammie35 It’s easy. He should find a Nigerian shop there where he can exchange naira to Egyptian pounds. Simple

🚨 Excl. - Agreement in principle for a contract until 2030 between #Rodri and #RealMadrid, which are ready to open talks to try to sign him from #ManchesterCity. #MCFC would like to keep him and offered the contract extension, but the midfielder has not accepted. #transfers
