Chelsea agree £38m Disasi deal
Chelsea have agreed a £38million deal to sign Axel Disasi from Monaco.

Chelsea in talks over Mbappe deal
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are in talks over a player-plus-cash deal for Kylian Mbappe.

Daily Record claim PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly have held direct talks over a possible deal.

Still, while there have been claims a deal is close, Barcelona manager Xavi has shot those suggestions down.
“We can’t control the market. There are clauses and it’s the player’s decision.
“I see him happy — and it’s up to him to decide. He’s told us he’s happy”.
Liverpool still in talks with Romeo Lavia
