What a day #CFC 💙

Guys, I am not in the reporting industry full time, I don’t know what advanced talks means in the industry, I am just saying what I’ve heard, I’m not here to say 100 things every day.

Chelsea asked Xavi to push as they have been getting nowhere on price. Next step Xavi to ask their board formally to let him leave. Chelsea working on outgoings meanwhile.

Our fan base started beefing with THIAGO SILVA’s wife because she was spitting facts. That incident made it into the press conferences constantly. Can you imagine if his brother is posting stupid cryptic emojis after he doesn’t start or Garnacho himself starts liking a load of.

I would love to know which background checks Chelsea have done on Garnacho, because there is literal documentation all over social media from him and his brother to prove otherwise.

First edit in a while - saw a few people ask for Estevao goal catalogue so thought I’d hop on it. Rival fans will know his name soon 😮‍💨.

Estevao - All great goals so far

As reported in May, Hato was seen as a Cucurella positional fit and never ruled out another centre back signing depending on the rest of the squad planning. Now being briefed by Chelsea sources as the case. Hato linked to Cucu more than CB.

Xavi wants Chelsea. But still no full agreement on every detail of PT. Only broadly. As per the Athletic, Leipzig need to sell one or Sesko or Simons to help balance the books. If Sesko goes first, could make things difficult. Chelsea must be faster.

For the record I think it’ll get done, this is all part of negotiations and the only time we haven’t been willing to pay a transfer fee was Maignan and that was briefed to be about the age not ability.

It’s been a tough negotiation because Chelsea had a price in mind they wanted to pay and Leipzig want around a £60m package, if Chelsea get near that then it’ll get done. It’s really on Chelsea if they want to.

Chelsea believe Garnacho is a great fit for Maresca’s system on and off the ball. Discussions ongoing behind the scenes for weeks with his representatives. Garnacho wants to live in London.

After Mosquera recommendation, understand the scouting department have recommended again players such as Scalvini, Bade and Diomande for right centre back. Guehi still internal favourite if they move on one due to the price opportunity later in the window.

Matt Law’s new piece suggesting Garnacho could be brought in to compete with Gittens on the left while Simons plays as a 10. It really seems like we’ll be going all out attacking this season.

It’s been the case already 🤷‍♂️

Chelsea have player buy in for Hato and are being bullish on price tag because there’s no current threat at time of writing of a hijack. On Simons, there’s a 10-15m including add ons price difference, which clubs will need to figure out, more talks over the weekend. Leipzig.

Matt Law - London is Blue Podcast : . • Chelsea like Garnacho’s data and profile .• It’s likely Chelsea sign Simons and he wants Chelsea move .• Chelsea’s dream is to sign Rogers but it doesn’t look realistic as Villa are shutting all doors.• Joao Felix has a big market, lots.

Understand Chelsea are still attentive to the situation of Marc Guehi. Guehi like Garnacho, very much seen as a good opportunity if the price was something Chelsea liked. Club would explore a right centre back signing if Chalobah left. No desire to sell Tosin or Fofana unless.

Okay, maybe ambitious is the wrong word, considering we haven’t made any audacious moves, but for sure they’re targeting better profiles and system fits than they did last summer.

This window has had me stuck to my phone, I feel like if I don’t check every 10 minutes I will miss something. I napped for 1.5 hours earlier and missed Hato agreeing personal terms. I love how ambitious and fast we’re being though!.
