The journalist, who has a good track record when it comes to the Blues, indicated on the London is Blue podcast that the Frenchman is unlikely to sign a contract extension: "I don't think Kante will sign a new deal this summer." From his own personal perspective, I don't think that makes sense." With Kante's current contract set to expire at the end of next season, it's unclear whether Chelsea will contemplate trading him in the coming weeks. There have been contrasting rumors about the Blues' willingness to let the midfielder leave, with Manchester United rumored to be interested in making an offer. Manager Thomas Tuchel, according to Law, wants Kante to stay, but the player's fitness record is the key concern. Tuchel would gladly keep him around for the foreseeable future if the team could find a method to keep him on the pitch for extended periods of time.

According to sources in Italy, Inter and AC Milan are interested in Chelsea attacker Armando Broja. During his loan spell with the Saints this season, the Albanian international has scored six goals in 32 games. According to CalcioNapoli24, this has piqued the curiosity of several Serie A clubs, including Southampton. The report states that Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli 'does not give up' on signing Broja this summer as he has been in contact with the Italian side for months. However, Napoli must 'watch out' for Inter and AC Milan, who have a 'strong interest' in the Albanian. The report finalised by stating that Southampton ‘will try again’ to sign Broja this summer as €25m ‘will not be enough’ to convince Chelsea into a sale. When Thomas Tuchel was asked about the striker's future, he challenged him to keep improving during his loan spell. "He is our player, and he is performing well," he remarked. However, it is only half way th...

Marcos Alonso's departure from Chelsea appears to be nearing — his representative has landed in London to start discussions with the club. Due to the injury that has kept Ben Chilwell out of the squad, the Spanish star has had a fantastic run in the team under Thomas Tuchel, and he seems like a very fine defender at times. Despite all of the controversy surrounding the club right now, there has always been rumors about players who could be arriving in the next windows, which means Alonso will fall farther down the pecking order at the club. And as a result, numerous sources in the media have stated that Chelsea is willing to let him go, especially because his contract with the club ends at the conclusion of next season. According to Mundo Deportivo, Fali Ramadani, the Spaniard's agent, traveled to London this week to expedite transfer talks, as his client wishes to leave the club. The 31-year-old, along with teammate Andreas Christensen and, possibly, captain Cesar ...

Chelsea are scouting a number of centre-backs to replace Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who are both departing this summer. Many names have been linked, but Jules Kounde of Sevilla is the only one who agrees with every single report. Romelu Lukaku isn't ready to give up his Chelsea dream yet, according to sources. This one has a sense of impending doom. However, another name that appears frequently on the list of priority targets is RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol, who is apparently coveted by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. However, we had Nathan Gissing, a highly dependable Chelsea insider and Gianluca Di Marzio staff writer, on our The Si and Dan Talk Chelsea Podcast yesterday, and one of the many topics and reports Nathan presented was on Gvardiol's position. He also revealed a few more key details about our upcoming transfer window intentions. Gvardiol is anticipated to stay at his club this summer, according to his sources.

Chelsea intends to make multiple recruits this summer, with eight defenders alone on their want list. With both Rudiger and Christensen departing the club, the German manager is expected to seek to strengthen his midfield and front line, but the back-line is the most important area of attention. There are also worries about Azpilicueta and Alonso, who are both targets for Barcelona and appear to be eager to join the Catalan club. Both Spaniards might still depart Chelsea, but the Blues would have to find new defenders to replace them. Eight names have been identified as possible replacements for the departing defenders, and the club hopes to be able to move for their targets as soon as the window opens on June 10th, assuming the club's sale goes through as planned. Long-term target Jules Kounde, who came close to moving from Sevilla last year but had a deal fall through late in the day, is at the top of their shopping list. This time, the French centre-back is unlikely ...

With Kylian Mbappe signing a new deal, the Brazilian could be surplus to requirements, but Neymar has stated that no one from the club has approached him about it. Meanwhile, Leeds United are prepared to pay £28 million for young winger Brenden Aaronson. In addition, Liverpool's ace Salah has confirmed that he will return to Anfield next season. However, PSG's success in keeping Mbappe means they are prepared to slash costs elsewhere, apparently beginning with Neymar's departure. Only Newcastle will be able to afford the Brazilian if he wants to keep his current pay.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech will have options to leave the club this summer. The Moroccan is expected to be one of the players offloaded by manager Thomas Tuchel, according to the Italian journalist, and supporters on Twitter are split on whether selling him is a good idea: Tuchel may not have given Ziyech a long enough run in the team, but injuries have contributed to his Chelsea career's stop-start character. However, when given the opportunity to start matches this season, he hasn't really taken advantage of it. Tuchel has named him to the starting lineup 26 times, and he has seven goals and four assists in that time. The figures aren't particularly spectacular, especially considering his goal-scoring record for Ajax in the Netherlands. Tuchel's patience with the 29-year-old appears to be wearing thin.

The journalist has confirmed previously that Tuchel is a fan of Gvardiol, but he now claims that the Blues boss is interested in bringing in the Croatian’s teammate this summer as well: Reports in the Croatia media have claimed that the Blues are preparing a €50m (£43m) bid for Gvardiol, while Nkunku’s valuation is believed to be at least €75m (£64m) so it would be a sizeable outlay on the two players. With it being suggested that Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly will hand Tuchel a transfer budget of around £200m, though, there is certainly enough money to go after both of them. While they should have a good chance of landing Gvardiol, securing Nkunku’s signature could be a bit trickier, with a number of other Premier League teams (including Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United) also said to be keeping tabs on the Frenchman.
