Chelsea have agreed to appoint Enzo Maresca as new head coach, here we go!

❗️ Understand the agreement is now done on contract valid until June 2029, five year deal.

It will also include an option to extend until June 2030.

#CFC, set to pay compensation fee to Leicester.

Understand Chelsea have reached verbal agreement with Willian Estevão on personal terms.
Told initial bid still to be sent but it will be around €32m plus add-ons, as talks with Palmeiras will follow.
Nothing done yet but #CFC remain clear favorites since January.

to jsem zvedav, vypada jako megatalent

Chelsea reach agreement with Brentford to appoint Bernardo Cueva as set-piece coach. 36yo continues at #BrentfordFC until summer before moving in coup for #CFC. Regarded as top operator + will lead department (further additions to follow) @TheAthleticFC

@David_Ornstein
Chelsea willing to let Armando Broja leave on permanent if suitable offer received. Interest from multiple clubs including Fulham, West Ham & Wolves. Not contingent on #CFC signing replacement + Nkunku expected back soon

Man Utd have submitted proposal to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea. #CFC responded, talks ongoing. Offer is initial loan + clubs discussing various parameters around that. #MUFC like 25yo for Ten Hag system; top candidate as things stand @TheAthleticFC

Add-ons in £115m Brighton agreed with Chelsea seen as very achievable + #BHAFC expect them swiftly. A third based on making Europe, two thirds appearance related. #CFC offered more guaranteed up front than £111m agreed with Liverpool @TheAthleticFC

Chelsea style

Tyler Adams deal, currently OFF after Chelsea decision to bid again for Moisés Caicedo — as @skysports_sheth called earlier 🚨🔵🇺🇸 #CFC

Chelsea are prepared to leave talks for Adams despite medical tests already done. Documents were not signed yet.

Full focus on Caicedo.

napinave...ne, fuck this shit

@DaveOCKOP
Moises Caicedo will happily join Liverpool if they remain the highest bidder. He has given Chelsea preference, out of respect, as they have negotiated longer. If Chelsea match bid he will join CFC. If LFC remain highest bidder he'll agree to LFC.

Ufff

Liverpool reach agreement with Brighton to sign Moises Caicedo for British record £110m. #BHAFC held auction using midnight deadline. #LFC highest bidder, #CFC at £100m. Personal terms a formality + medical planned for Friday in Liverpool @TheAthleticFC

Southampton have tonight received offer from Chelsea for Romeo Lavia. #CFC proposal £48m inc adds. Closest anyone has come to #SaintsFC £50m valuation to date. 19yo subject to multiple rejected bids from Liverpool. Dialogue continues @TheAthleticFC

@FabrizioRomano
Deivid Washington to Chelsea.
Verbal agreement done as Santos accepted €15m plus €5m add-ons bid for 18 year old striker
Long term deal agreed, Deivid wanted Chelsea; documents being prepared now.
Decision soon about loan to Strasbourg or… staying at #CFC.

Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a deal with Chelsea for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Spain international expected to undergo medical imminently. #CFC have been targeting 25yo as competition for Kepa following Mendy departure @TheAthleticFC

Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle with AS Monaco to sign defender Axel Disasi. #CFC set to pay #ASMonaco ~€45m for 25yo France int’l. Right centre-back option. Fofana out for considerable period due to knee injury @TheAthleticFC

Chelsea today sent £80m offer to Brighton for Moises Caicedo. Rejected instantly on email. Previous #CFC bids £60m, £65m, £70m. #BHAFC hope to keep 21yo; likely to take £100m+. He wants move & personal terms no issue @TheAthleticFC

@FabrizioRomano
Chelsea have rejected West Ham first bid for Conor Gallagher around £40m with add-ons.
After discussing internally and also with Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea decided to reject.
West Ham remain interested but #CFC want at least £50m to sell Conor.

@JacobsBen
Moises Caicedo is really unhappy an agreement for a move to Chelsea isn’t in place yet. He returns to Brighton with progress expected this week. #CFC yet to table another formal bid but they are looking around £70m plus add-ons. As revealed, this has always been the ballpark

AC Milan in direct contact with Chelsea about signing Christian Pulisic. Verbal offer for 24yo in region of €14m. Personal terms no issue, but #CFC value attacker higher + also interest from elsewhere. W/ @JamesHorncastle @TheAthleticFC
