TA: Chelsea and Garnacho informally negotiate / Not yet quoted Simmons; clearing redundant staff

Hupu August 5th News TheAthleticUK ace reporter David Ornstein led the weekly report.

Will Chelsea still sign ups?

Their only goalkeeper position that will not be strengthened will also be closely watched by fans. Although Chelsea chased Mike Meinian earlier in the transfer window, they have no intention of bringing in another goalkeeper at this time.

Robert Sanchez and Philip Jorgensen are Chelsea's main goalkeepers, and Chelsea is satisfied with this. In fact, they rejected a Champions League club's offer to Jorgensen.

As for the overall situation, head coach Enzo Maresca will have a chance to rotate because he has many options.

Which position/player are they still focusing on?

focuses mainly on another winger and a creative player, so the names of Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simmons will not disappear. Both players depend on leaving. Chelsea is in informal negotiations with Manchester United for Garnacho, but there is no progress at this time. The same is true for

Simmons. At present, RB Leipzig has not received a formal offer. Chelsea does intend to bring in other players, including Aston Villa's Morgan Rodgers.

As for George, Chelsea is negotiating with George's agent to find the best solution. Direct loan is still a possibility, but Chelsea will not consider any options that include a buyout clause.

Like Jiwu, the club hopes to set some additional conditions for the player's playing time when loaning players. (Sunderland agreed to guarantee Jiwu's playing time)

Direct sale is also under discussion, but Chelsea hopes to add the buyback clause and the second transfer clause to the contract. Many teams in England and Europe have expressed interest in both schemes.

Christopher Nkunku, worth 50 million euros, has been allowed to absent from the beginning of pre-season training. He was asked by many clubs in England, Italy and Germany. Manchester United and RB Leipzig, two teams that seem likely to sign him in the early stages of the transfer window, seem unlikely now.

Jackson is also the target of many clubs in England and Europe. Chelsea doesn't think he is untouchable, but his transfer fee will be comparable to the cost of other starting centers when they transfer to other clubs this summer.

Chelsea is still working hard to sell Rahim Sterling, Chilville, Renato Vega, Dortmund's interested Kani Chuk Umeka and Axel DiSassi. They hope to solve the problems of these players before entering the last week.

Alfi Gilchrist still wants to join the Championship team, but he may have to wait until the end of the month. Defender Aaron Anselmino has received much praise from Chelsea after integrating into Chelsea in the second half of last season and will be loaned out. Some European teams have already negotiated.
