Chelsea now open to selling 2023 summer signing who Pochettino praised

Chelsea are now open to selling a 2023 summer signing just under one year after he put pen to paper on a move to Stamford Bridge, as the west Londoners look to trim their bloated squad as well as acquire upgrades.

Players who could be sold by Chelsea this summer

Romelu Lukaku, Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Malang Sarr, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Trevoh Chalobah, Ian Maatsen, Omari Hutchinson and Conor Gallagher have all been linked with the Chelsea exit door already, with Enzo Maresca looking to make room for key new additions.

Gallagher is set to be the most headline-grabbing name of the aforementioned group, especially given his importance under Mauricio Pochettino last season. The 24-year-old, who was rewarded for his fine form with a place in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 England squad, became a Chelsea mainstay and supporters are keen not to see the boyhood supporter depart.

His contract expires next year, though, and with no extension in sight, Chelsea may have to make the ruthless business decision of finding a buyer for him this summer – or risk seeing him leave for nothing in 2025.

The likes of Lukaku, Broja, Maatsen, Sarr and Arrizabalaga appear out of favour at the club, so decisions on their futures will be much easier, but there are reports that Chelsea are open to offers for Chalobah despite the Englishman's re-emergence at the end of last season.

Pretty soon, a few of these players could join Thiago Silva in leaving Chelsea in the coming weeks, and it is believed that 2023 arrivals are not excluded from the chopping block. There have been suggestions that Chelsea want to attract bids for David Datro Fofana, who only joined last January from Molde.

Chelsea apparently don't need to sell players by June 30 of this year to avoid PSR sanctions, but they do need to sell in preparation for the June 30 deadline next year.

“We’re likely to see departures at Chelsea this summer, particularly with the players who are currently out on loan," said Fabrizio Romano to GiveMeSport.

“As previously reported, the plan is for Armando Broja to be sold once he comes back from his loan at Fulham, and Hakim Ziyech can already be considered to have played his last game for Chelsea.

“I also expect Romelu Lukaku and Ian Maatsen to leave Chelsea, but for the others, we have to wait and see what happens.”

Chelsea open to selling Lesley Ugochukwu

Now, alongside the likes of Fofana, it is believed midfielder Lesley Ugochuwku is being nominated for the transfer list.

The 20-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Rennes last summer and signed a seven-year contract, made 12 Premier League appearances last term. The Blues could send him out on a temporary deal to accumulate more game time, but journalist Simon Phillips also claims Chelsea are open to completely selling Ugochukwu for the right offer.

Less than 12 months into his long-term deal, it would be an unceremonious end for the Frenchman, especially after praise from Chelsea chiefs last year. Pochettino called Ugochukwu a "talented" player, while co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley called him "impressive" (via The Metro).

Em entrevista para a Rádio Capital, na tarde deste domingo, o ex-jogador voltou a falar sobre o seu desejo de ser o homem forte do Timão, onde foi eleito conselheiro na última eleição que foi realizada no fim do ano passado. O que acontece, porém, é que tudo isso envolve questões pessoais e profissionais.

-Minha vontade é ser presidente do Corinthians. Eu sei que ainda preciso elaborar algumas coisas na minha vida pessoal, na minha profissional, eu renovei contrato com a Band até 2025. E isso faz com que eu pense melhor.

Sendo um dos membros do atual Conselho Deliberativo do Corinthians, ele está apto a se candidatar à presidência do clube nas próximas eleições, que serão realizadas no fim de 2023, quando acaba o mandato de Duilio Monteiro Alves. No entanto, ele confessou que a vontade tem diminuído recentemente.

– Eu fiz nos últimos dois anos um planejamento para isso. Eu tenho ainda um planejamento político forte para isso, mas a cada dia que passa, vai diminuindo isso, essa vontade – concluiu o ídolo da Fiel.

Próximo de completar 55 anos, Neto teve duas passagens pelo Corinthians: entre 1989 e 1993, e outra entre 1996 e 1997, com 228 jogos e 80 gols no total. Além disso, foram três títulos oficiais conquistados. Um Campeonato Paulista (1997), um Campeonato Brasileiro (1990) e uma Supercopa do Brasil (1991).

Kagiso Rabada 100% in support of BLM movement – but South Africa won't be kneeling

Fast bowler says it was “team decision” not to take a knee during England series

Kagiso Rabada has said the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement “will always be relevant” to him even though South Africa will not take a knee in their upcoming white-ball series against England. Instead, the squad, who will play together for the first time since March, are considering wearing black armbands in solidarity with the fight against gender-based violence and to mourn the lives lost to Covid_19.South Africa’s head coach, Mark Boucher, last week described BLM as “an ongoing thing for us, not something that we have to continue to show”. Rabada said it would remain part of the conversation, even if it is not front-and-centre of their actions.ALSO READ: ‘Real conversations’ key for anti-racism message – Jordan”Black Lives Matter is one-hundred percent something I will always stand for and I speak for myself,” Rabada said. “It was a team decision not to kneel and to look at gender-based violence and devote ourselves to another cause. However, Black Lives Matter will always be relevant and something I will always believe in and I speak for myself there. But, Mark has stated that the team will not be kneeling and that’s how it’s going to be.”Boucher said the South Africa squad believed they already showed their support for BLM when they took a knee at the exhibition 3TC match in July, following weeks of fractious debates on race in the country. All the players involved in that fixture are part of the squad that will play England and Boucher said of one of them, Lungi Ngidi, who led South Africa’s response to BLM, was satisfied that the team has done enough.According to Boucher, South Africa will now concentrate on living out values of anti-racism rather than demonstrate them with on-field gestures, even though they have not played together as a national team since the BLM movement resurged over the winter.In South Africa, the rhetoric around BLM was particularly divisive and exposed the recently papered-over cracks that have resulted from decades of legalised racial discrimination. After Ngidi expressed his wish that South African players join the rest of the world in “making a stand” in support of BLM, four former players, all white, criticised him, prompting an outpouring of stories of exclusion from players of colour. CSA has set up a social justice and nation-building committee to address historical injustices but has recently made no other public statements about anti-racist action or transformation, including its plans for reparations.Janneman Malan takes a knee on the pitch prior to the start of the 3TC game•AFP via Getty Images

The conversation around BLM appears to have shifted from collective to individual action, which Rabada remains in favour of. During the IPL, he spoke about the responsibility that high-profile people, including sportsmen, have to raise awareness over social issues and he reiterated that belief.”It is important, especially if you have a platform like you do as a sportsman – spreading the right message is important. It doesn’t mean anyone should go out of their way to do it but if you would like to, it’s important to spread the right message,” Rabada said. “There is huge responsibility in the things you say and the things you stand up for. We’ve seen the roles sportsmen had to play in all the political movements that were happening during the lockdown. I expressed my opinion on Twitter, and on some podcasts that we did but I am not getting into it too hectically. I am not writing essays about it, I am not writing a doctorate about it but I threw my two cents out.”When asked whether he thought the debate needed to move from whether a team should take a knee as a symbolic gesture, to whether they could better tackle racism in practical ways because repeated taking of a knee diminishes its significance, Rabada said he would “need to think about it”.

Após empate com o Athletico-PR, técnico do Sport afirma: 'Merecíamos mais que o empate'

Apesar do empate sem gols sendo visitante contra o Athletico-PR e com um jogador a menos desde os 22 minutos da etapa complementar, o clima no lado do Sport após o confronto do último domingo (5) não foi apenas de comemoração.

Isso porque, segundo avaliação feita em entrevista coletiva por Gustavo Florentín, o desempenho da equipe ao longo do confronto foi suficiente para o time sair de campo com a vitória. Sendo que, na questão dos erros de finalização, ele detectou o principal problema da equipe.

Apesar do tom de lamentação, o treinador paraguaio que fez sua estreia no banco de reservas da equipe exaltou a disciplina tática de seus comandados mesmo na situação adversa de 11 contra 10:

– Criamos boas oportunidades. Antes dos 10 minutos, tivemos três oportunidades de gol. Faltou melhor eficácia para aproveitar. No segundo tempo, continuamos no mesmo ritmo, criando chances. Acho que merecíamos mais que o empate. Foi uma partida muito boa. Do início ao final, o time se manteve organizado taticamente, com muita atitude e sentimento em busca da vitória. Assim, criamos chances de gol, mas temos que melhorar a finalização. Gostei da capacidade do time querer ganhar o jogo.

A próxima chance que Florentín e seus comandados terão de acabarem com o jejum de vitórias que dura cinco partidas será no dia 13 de setembro quando o Leão da Ilha recebe, pela 20ª Rodada do Brasileirão, o Internacional.

Chelsea now make offer to sign £30m forward who dribbles like Mbappe

Chelsea have now made an offer to sign one £30 million forward compared to Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, with co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley already spending fairly big this summer.

Chelsea set for busy transfer window as they seek to back Maresca

The west Londoners have already officially completed moves for Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer, Marc Guiu in a £5 million deal from Barcelona, Omari Kellyman for £19 million, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at around £30 million and Brazilian starlet Estevao Willian for £51 million.

Chelsea's outlay totals around £105 million already, just three weeks into the transfer window, but a succession of players have left to help balance the books. Thiago Silva, Hakim Ziyech, Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson and Ian Maatsen all departed Stamford Bridge recently for a combined fee of around £84 million, taking Todd Boehly's net spend to just £21 million.

Bearing this in mind, Chelsea appear in pretty good stead for next year's PSR deadline, depending on what happens in the next few weeks. The Blues are involved in a public race with Arsenal to sign Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, who impressed at Euro 2024 with Italy and helped guide his club to a place in the Champions League next season.

TEAMtalk claimed this week that Chelsea are set to submit a rival bid for Calafiori, who is expected to cost somewhere around the £42 million mark. Despite bringing in Tosin, the likes of Fabrizio Romano have suggested before that Chelsea could sign two centre-backs this summer.

Meanwhile, there is also the very real possibility that they will back new manager Enzo Maresca with forward additions and more of world football's brightest talents.

Chelsea are still targeting Napoli star Victor Osimhen as one option, and could even make an offer for the Nigerian, as club president Aurelio De Laurentiis may entertain offers below his £113 million release clause.

Reports from France this week claim that they may even look to Brazil yet again. Corinthians teenager Wesley Gassova, who already boasts seven goals and five assists across 72 senior appearances, is firmly on Chelsea's radar.

Chelsea make offer to sign Wesley alongside West Ham

According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Chelsea have made an offer to sign Wesley from Corinthians, though he doesn't state the financial details. As well as Maresca's side, London rivals West Ham have done the same thing, as they target their own Brazilian sensations after winning the race for Luis Guilherme.

Wesley for Corinthians.

Wesley has drawn comparisons to Mbappe in his homeland for his dribbling speed, which is surely very enticing. Other media sources have claimed that Corinthians will demand around £30 million to let go of the 19-year-old, who also has many admirers in Ligue 1.

مانشستر سيتي يتخذ أول خطوة للتعاقد مع عمر مرموش

اتخذ نادي مانشستر سيتي خطوة جادة للحصول على خدمات نجم فريق آينتراخت فرانكفورت، عمر مرموش، في ظل تألقه اللافت للأنظار مع النادي الألماني.

ويقدم عمر مرموش أداءً نموذجيًا في صفوف آينتراخت فرانكفورت في مختلف المسابقات هذا الموسم.

وارتبط مرموش بأكثر من نادِ أوروبي، خاصة في الدوري الإنجليزي، وعلى رأسها ليفربول.

في حين ظهرت تقارير صحفية، خلال اليومين الماضيين، تفيد أن مانشستر سيتي لديه رغبة كبيرة في التعاقد مع مرموش في موسم الانتقالات الشتوي الحالي.

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “فوت ميركاتو” الفرنسية منذ قليل، فإن مانشستر سيتي أثبت اهتمامه الجاد بالحصول على خدمات مرموش، ولكن ليس في نافذة الانتقالات الشتوية الجارية.

وأوضحت أن حامل لقب الدوري الإنجليزي تواصل بالفعل مع مرموش ووكيل أعماله، لبحث انتقاله إلى ملعب “الاتحاد” الصيف المقبل.

يأتي هذا مغايرًا لكافة التقارير التي انتشرت في الساعات الماضية والتي أفادت رغبة مانشستر سيتي في ضم المصري هذا الشهر.

وأشارت إلى أن مرموش تحدث بالفعل مع مسؤولي مانشستر سيتي، حيث يبدو متحمسًا للغاية بشأن مشروع النادي.

يأتي هذا في ظل مراقبة من جانب كل من ليفربول، آرسنال وتوتنهام تجاه عمر مرموش.

ويمتلك صاحب الـ25 عامًا عقدًا ساريًا مع آينتراخت فرانكفورت حتى يونيو 2027.

Postecoglou green-lights Tottenham move for £50 million man as Lange pushes

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has given the green light for Spurs to move for a £50 million player, with technical director Johan Lange also driving the club's pursuit of him.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has entered the final 12 months of his contract and started just eight Premier League games last season, having lost his mainstay status in the team. Hojbjerg is widely tipped to leave Spurs this summer as a result, with chairman Daniel Levy seemingly keen to make money off his sale while that is still possible.

Meanwhile, it's been reported that Giovani Lo Celso has no future at Tottenham and could be sold alongside Hojbjerg. Much like the Dane, Lo Celso struggled for opportunities under Postecoglou last season, starting just four league matches with 18 of his 22 appearances coming off the bench.

The uncertainty surrounding both of their futures has prompted many links to a new central midfielder. Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher for the best part of a year, and that interest is rumoured to still be there.

Postecoglou is a real admirer of Gallagher, according to some reports, but a move for the Euro 2024 England international could be a tricky one to pull off due to Chelsea's rumoured £50 million valuation. They're targeting alternatives to the 24-year-old, with Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana attracting interest from Tottenham amid claims he'd cost around £25 million.

Another midfield man who the Lilywhites are targeting is Aston Villa starlet Jacob Ramsey. Various media sources have backed that Spurs had a player-plus-cash bid for Ramsey rejected recently, with the proposal being £20 million and Lo Celso.

Postecoglou green-lights Ramsey move as Lange drives Spurs deal

According to reliable football.london journalist Alasdair Gold, Postecoglou has green-lit a move for Ramsey and Lange is driving Tottenham's pursuit. Gold also backs that Spurs would have attempted to use Lo Celso as a makeweight in any proposed transfer for the 23-year-old, but as of now, the Villans are unlikely to sell him.

Other reliable media sources claim Unai Emery's side value Ramsey at around £50 million, which is no surprise given his sky-high potential.

"What I like about him is that he is looking to drive toward goal, not go out to the wing and get a cross in," said former Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, to then-BT Sport, in 2021.

"He wants to score goals and maybe last season he wouldn't have taken the shot on there, but he's been brave, taken on the shot with his weaker foot and he's got his reward. Ramsey came into the team under Dean Smith and he is taking his chance. Steven Gerrard would love everything about him. He's an all-round midfielder and today he showed what he can really do."

ويعتبر ماستانتونو هو أول لاعب أرجنتيني يلعب في صفوف ريال مدريد منذ رحيل دي ماريا عن الميرنجي خلال صيف عام 2014.
