Here is the latest Chelsea news and gossip from icchelseanews that we think you could have missed featuring the likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Nico Williams and Kepa…
Former CHELSEA and Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho ‘hopes’ his former club Real Madrid win the race to sign Nico Williams in the coming transfer windows.
Nico Williams is one of the most exciting wingers in the game right now and a player that most of the big clubs around Europe are very much interested in signing when he makes the decision to leave Athletic Bilbao.
Williams was linked with a move to Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in the summer window, but after helping Spain to another trophy, he made the decision to stay where he is for at least another season.
However – there is alot of transfer speculation that a move could be made the the upcoming transfer window, and Mourinho ‘hopes’ his former club Real Madrid win the race to sign Nico Williams
‘Nico is wonderful,’ Mourinho said at his pre-match press conference as Fenerbahce prepare to face Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League on Wednesday night.
‘At the last Euros, everyone was talking about Yamal, Yamal, Yamal… who is obviously another fantastic young player.
‘But personally, I prefer Nico; he is a fantastic footballer. One cannot think that a Turkish club could sign him; I hope he ends up at Real Madrid.’
NICO WILLIAMS CLAIM MADE
CHELSEA may be in with a chance of landing Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic in the upcoming transfer window, if they want to sign a striker.
Despite the great start to the season that Enzo Maresca has had this season as boss, there is still alot of speculation in the media that the club are looking to add a new striker to that attack in order to keep chasing that Premier League title.
A report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that the Serbian international striker could be on his way out of Serie A club Juventus because of his premium wages.
The 24-year-old striker earns £200,000-a-week wages at Juventus, and the Serie A club could be forced to sell him because of that, as he will not take a pay cut. The development will come as a major boost for clubs hoping to sign him
Reporter Iomie Stanley recently claimed he could be a great signing for the Blues: “Vlahovic was a name hugely linked in connection with signing for the Blues in 2022 and has been regularly named in transfer windows since.
“Having scored 44 goals in 109 Serie A games for Fiorentina, he decided instead to make a £66.6million move to Juventus over the Premier League and is once again banging in the goals on a weekly basis.
“Juventus are under no pressure to sell the striker in the coming transfer window – but if there is an offer that they simply cannot refuse – then we are sure that he will go for less than that 100 million valuation.’
‘Vlahovic is a very good striker that could be a very good signing for CHELSEA – he is one of a number of options for Enzo Maresca – he could be a very good signing for the right price that is for sure.’
KEPA WANTS CHELSEA RETURN
On-loan goalkeeper Kepa would like to return to CHELSEA at the end of the season when his spell at Premier League outfit Bournemouth runs out.
Brought for £71 million a good few years ago now, Kepa has become a player that has struggled to make any sort of impact at Stamford Bridge in between those sticks and has been shifted out on loan a number of times.
Last season he had a successful spell with Real Madrid, but despite his impressive performances, the Spaniards made the decision that they would not be offering Kepa a long-term deal and he made the move back to the club .
This season he has been at Bournemouth and is the clubs current number one stopper, but While Kepa is enjoying his time at Bournemouth, a permanent move there seems far from guaranteed.
In fact, according to Marca, Kepa wants to return to Chelsea in 2025 and then things will be taken from there as he would prefer a move away from the Premier League.
IcChelseanews View…
Kepa has all the qualities to be a top-level goalkeeper, so it is a shame that the man has been unable to get to the quality that many had hoped for, he needs to leave the club on a more permanent basis though.
He is done at the club and a move away is the best thing for everyone involved
