Not impressed by Brazil Willian, judging from this World Cup at least. He had perhaps one game that he could say he played well but he looked really poor in the others. Douglas Costa outshone him in the group stages as a supersub and would've taken his starting place if not for injury.

TLDR:-
-Barcelona may swap Andre Gomes for Chelsea's Kante. First PSG interests in Kante, now Barcelona. Got source says Chelsea wants boost up Kante salary to £200,000-weekly contract.
-AC Milan need meet Fairplay requirement, Chelsea want defender Leonardo Bonucci from them.
-Real Madrid offers £150million transfer offer for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Sell or not?
-Barcelona wants Hazard too after Barcelona fails to attract Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann. Let them fight?
-Chelsea offers Hazard £300,000 a week, but Hazard not yet sign.
-If Kortua leaving soon, we may go for Leicester shot-stopper Kasper Schmeichel. Schmeichel price is only £10m.
Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona consider swap deal to land N’Golo Kante
BARCELONA are contemplating a shock swap deal with Chelsea in order to sign N'Golo Kante, according to reports.

Barcelona have already completed some summer business, including Clement Lenglet from Sevilla who joined in a £32million deal on Thursday.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are hoping to kickstart their summer transfer business with the arrival of Maurizio Sarri as their new head coach imminent.

The Blues are eager to overhaul their midfield and Danny Drinkwater has been earmarked as a potential player to head for the exit.

But now according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Barca are looking to use Andre Gomes as a makeweight to clinch a deal for Kante.

The report suggests the potential proposal could persuade the west London outfit to come to the negotiating table.

Since Andres Iniesta left at the end of the last season, Ernesto Valverde has been desperate to find a high quality replacement.

Chelsea on the other hand will want to right the wrongs of last term when they finished fifth in the Premier League table.

The Blues, meanwhile, are eyeing a deal for Leonardo Bonucci as they seek to revamp their defence.

AC Milan may have to offload their defensive lynchpin in order to meet UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Taking Bonucci off the wage bill would go someway to sorting out their problems.

Real Madrid to lodge £150million transfer offer for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard
GOSSIP Coral BarryThursday 12 Jul 2018 11:42 pm

Real Madrid are preparing to submit a £150million transfer offer for Eden Hazard, according to reports. The Chelsea forward is hot property this summer after a fantastic World Cup campaign and just two years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge. Hazard shone for Belgium in Russia and will have the chance to showcase his skills one more time on Saturday when his side take on England in the third place play-off.

Chelsea are desperate for Hazard to sign a new long-term deal and are on the verge of appointing a head coach more to the liking of the Belgian. But the Daily Mail claim Real have been encouraged by Hazard to bid and will make a £150m offer in the coming weeks. Hazard spoke of his admiration for Real this summer, and admitted Los Blancos were ‘a club who make you dream’.

Chelsea have so far failed to convince Hazard to put pen to paper on a new contract, despite offering the playmaker £300,000 a week to remain at the club. Hazard’s stalling and comments in Russia have prompted Real to firm up their interest. Real are on the hunt for a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo who is set to join Juventus this month.

Ronaldo’s exit will be a major blow to Real and the La Liga giants are completely focused on bringing in a superstar replacement. Chelsea will resist any move to lure Hazard away, but may feel a £150m offer is too good to turn down. The Blues’ transfer window has yet to take off this summer as the club awaits the departure of Antonio Conte and appointment of Maurizio Sarri.

Barcelona and Chelsea lock horns in signing Eden Hazard from Chelsea with reports confirming Barca have made contact with the Belgium international.

The response was positive as they confirmed that Hazard wants to leave Chelsea this summer and the chance to sign for Barcelona is something which interests the player.

Barcelona reportedly shifted attention to Hazard after failing to lure Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann to the Camp Nou.

Barca are increasing their transfer budget as they look to offload unwanted squad members. Paulinho’s move to China was the one which allowed Barça to make contact with Hazard.

The Daily Mail claims Real Madrid are ready to make a £150 million  ($197.63m) bid for the Belgium international who have just a year left in his contract having refused to sign a new deal pending when Chelsea resolve their managerial situation.

The Blues will resist any move to lure Hazard away, but Real Madrid are confident a bid of £150m is too good to turn down.

Madrid sees him as a perfect replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo who has agreed a £90m move to Juventus this summer.

now some serious issue:

we have 8 home ground players & 17 non home ground players
rumors suggested jorginho, golovin, rugani, higuain will join us and four of them non home ground player too...
so we need to sell 4 non home ground players in order to buy four players stated above

question is: you want who out?

17 non home ground players:
Courtois
Caballero
Rugiger
Alonso
Zouma
Zappacosta
Azpilicueta
David Luiz
Emerson
Kante
Hazard
Pedro
Bakayoko
Willian
Morata
Giroud
Batshuayi

pls share your thought

8 home ground players:
Fabregas
Drinkwater
Christensen
Cahill
Moses
Musonda
Barkley
Aina

Depends if you can sell Courtois to Madrid and if you do, how much? If you can get ~£50M for him, spending another £10-20M for Alisson makes more sense.

Hazard is leaving and for once i support his decision. Its for his best to be the best. I think no need to buu replacement. Since sarri at the club, why dont we use thorgan?

Chelsea keen on goalkeepers Petr Cech and Kasper Schmeichel

Schmeichel good... not sure about Cech unless he is your no 2...

I'd like Kasper in. Cech image of pulling out great saves is dented when you had defenders malfunction in there with Arsene last season.

Hazard should stay. Shoes of CR7 is a little too big for him. RM might sink and Barca will be kings in Spain.

As for Sarri, it will be fireworks to clash with Klopp team.

He is a proven la liga GK to begin with golden glove to begin with.

you may have forgotten that he fared quite well at A.Madrid..
