Chelsea to opt for Sterling despite chance to sign Gabriel Jesus

Raheem Sterling is capable of playing on the right and as a support striker too.

Chelsea are interested in Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling. As per reports of Football Daily (h/t Football London), the Blues are understood to have a stronger interest in Raheem Sterling than in Gabriel Jesus.

Man City pair have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer. Arsenal are the frontrunners to sign Jesus and they seem to be closing in on the Brazilian for a fee in the region of £50 million.

Raheem Sterling is now Chelsea’s bigger target. The West London club is more interested in the England international, who is considered as an option to breathe more life into Chelsea’s left flank.

The 27-year-old is also capable of playing on the right and as a support striker too. He has scored 131 goals and registered 95 assists for the Cityzens.

The Blues are also reportedly lining up Bayern Munich outcast Robert Lewandowski as their go-to striker for this window.

Sevilla are open to leaving Jules Kounde this summer.

Chelsea are confident of signing Jules Kounde transfer amid Barcelona links.

According to the Evening Standard, the Blues remain in the driving seat in pursuit of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. He has been linked with Barcelona which has caused concerns of a potential hijack amongst the Chelsea faithful.

The West Londoners have been courting Kounde for almost a year now. They have already agreed to personal terms with the defender last year. The transfer didn’t go through due to Sevilla raising their valuation, to which Chelsea didn’t oblige.

Sevilla are open to leaving the 23-year-old this summer. Sevilla president Jose Castro has admitted to the same and made the club’s stance very clear by saying, “This happened last year and he will only be sold if the offer is the one that the club deems enough and acceptable so that he can leave, as we have always done.”

Kounde is currently recovering from surgery on a minor pelvis issue. The same issue forced him off at half-time while he was playing for France in their Nations League defeat to Croatia at home.

Given Chelsea’s current defensive crisis, the West London club are more than likely to oblige by the end of the window and it does seem like a matter of when and not if.

Chelsea and Inter Milan continue to plot Romelu Lukaku exit plan

Chelsea and Inter Milan are continuing to talk as the two clubs strive to come to an agreement that will bring the Blues’ big-name signing turned misfit Romelu Lukaku back to San Siro.

According to sources, the two clubs are discussing the prospect of a loan deal, but there is one big stumbling block that is supposed to be delaying things down.

The loan cost for the 29-year-old striker must be negotiated, but that isn’t the major issue. Inter are willing to cover Lukaku’s whole salary, which Chelsea appreciates, as well as a €5 million loan fee, which Chelsea does not. The residents of West London are anticipating more, but a resolution is expected in this respect.

Chelsea’s willingness to bring players in the opposite way appears to be the biggest roadblock to finding a solution right now. The Blues have shown an interest in right-back Denzel Dumfries and center-back Alessandro Bastoni so far, but Inter are said to desire a direct transfer with no additional players involved.

Todd Boehly, the new owner of Chelsea, isn’t persuaded that letting the striker go on loan is the wisest option. Lukaku has developed a positive relationship with the American and is choosing to be loyal and professional to the club during this period.

He seems to have his sights set on a Premier League move and Chelsea could be his potential destination.

Strakosha told Fabrizio Romano: “I’m completely honoured to be linked with a club like Chelsea. I think all the clubs in the Premier League, to be linked, it’s really important because, for me, it’s the best league in the world. It’s an honour. I’m really happy.

“I started from the bottom dreaming of this moment, so to be linked with them, it’s a big honour and a big pleasure for my family and me. Whatever Premier League club is interested, it’s an honour because I respect every club.”

Shaun Wright-Phillips has doubts over Ousmane Dembele transfer.

The Blues are expected to spend around £200m on new signings this summer with a centre-forward and a defender their utmost priority.

Romelu Lukaku is pushing for a move back to Inter Milan this transfer window.

Chelsea have recently been strongly linked with Robert Lewandowski,Jules Kounde and Ousmane Dembele.

Former Blues start Wright-Phillips doubts Dembele’s move to the Stamford Bridge.

‘Jules Kounde would be a good signing for Chelsea, he’s young and a very talented defender,’ Wright-Phillips told Genting Casino.

‘If Kounde does sign for Chelsea, he’ll have big boots to fill after Antonio Rudiger’s exit.

‘With Robert Lewandowski, he would be the perfect replacement for Romelu Lukaku if Lukaku does leave.

He then added: ‘Ousmane Dembele is a fantastic footballer.

‘It’s just about whether his body can handle the physicality of the Premier League and if he can play a consistent run of games because he’s had so many injuries. If Chelsea can keep him fit then he’ll be a massive player for them.’

Mason Mount has been told to stay a one-club player.

The Chelsea academy graduate had a stellar campaign last season bagging 11 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League.

He carried Chelsea and helped them finish in the top-four and won Chelsea’s Player of the Year for his efforts.

Former Man City star Shaun Wright-Phillips believes Mount should stay at Chelsea for his entire career.

“​If Chelsea were to win trophies and Mason Mount is the stand-out player, there is no reason why he couldn’t win the Ballon D’Or one day,” he told Genting Casino.

“Mount is still a young player and is still learning to be consistent.

“He’s played so well and is carrying Chelsea on his shoulders and helped them get into the Champions League. People need to remember how young he is and that he’s still got a lot to learn.”

He added: “You look at when he came back to Chelsea from his loan spell, he played well when they were under a transfer ban, the season after that, Frank Lampard got sacked, Thomas Tuchel came in and he still played well. It’s normal that he has a dip in form.”

Andreas Christensen drops a major hint about his next club.

The Chelsea defender has been linked with a move to Barcelona for several months now after he reportedly agreed to join the Catalan giants for free earlier this year.

He is going to be a great addition to Barcelona’s defence line now that Gerrard Pique has been dropped from the 2022/23 squad.

The Chelsea academy graduate is expected to sign a three-year deal with Catalan giants Barcelona.

He was recently asked about his summer move in an interview.

“Hopefully soon,” Christensen said.

“I have known what I was going to do for a while. I’m just waiting for the right time. Unfortunately, it’s not entirely up to me. There are also other things that need to fall into place.

“It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I think it is for everyone – whether they have had their problems or not, it is still one of the biggest clubs for a player to get to.”

Romelu Lukaku is keen to return to Inter Milan this summer.

The Belgian forward has struggled for form in his second spell at Chelsea and now wants to make a return to Serie A in the summer with Inter Milan prioritising a move for their former player.

Everton forward Richarlison who has scored 53 goals in 152 appearances for the club has attracted interest from London rivals Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

He helped Everton avoid relegation last term but could leave Goodison Park in this transfer window.

Former Blues defender Glen Johnson believes that the Everton forward would suit Thomas Tuchel’s style more than Lukaku.

Johnson told BettingOdds. ‘I certainly believe he would suit the way Chelsea play more than Romelu Lukaku.

‘Whether he’s good enough to be their main man and get 20 goals a season, then I’m not so sure.

‘I do like him though and I think he’s a good player and it could be a sensible move if the fee is reasonable.’

Robert Lewandowski will definitely leave Bayern Munich this summer.

The Blues will be looking for attacking options this summer as Romelu Lukaku is being linked with a move back to Inter Milan in this transfer window.

Lewandowski has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona who has netted 50 goals for the Bayern Munich last season.

Former Blues star Scott Minto believes Chelsea should pursue a move for the Polish striker.

Minto said: “I personally would like to see Tuchel somehow have the conversation with Lukaku and say” ‘what do we need to do to get the best out of you?’.

“[But] it’s not going to happen. We know that. Tuchel has said it’s not about us adjusting to him, he has to adjust to us. It has clearly not happened.

“Lewandowski would be absolutely superb in the short term. Even if he’s on a two-year contract, he might get away with a three.

“He’s proven right now. Chelsea are all about the here and now, they have been for the last two decades.”
