One Chelsea player has now said his goodbyes to a club, which now rules out one transfer situation happening this summer.
There is a lot going on this week in the aftermath of the first summer transfer window closing on Tuesday night ahead of the Club World Cup.
Chelsea failed to sign Mike Maignan and Jamie Gittens after being in talks, but there are other situations ongoing right now, such as the future of Trevoh Chalobah, who is wanted by Napoli this summer.
There was also a report out earlier in the week detailing the stats that prove Chelsea should have, and still can, sign Maignan from AC Milan this summer simply because he’s a big upgrade.
We haven’t heard much on new Chelsea defender links for a while and we were surprised Chelsea didn’t target one before the Club World Cup. But it looks like a new one is still on the agenda.
A Bola in Portugal is reporting that Benfica defender Tomás Araújo is Chelsea’s priority target for the central defender position. He has a release clause of €80million.
Renato Veiga has said goodbye to Juventus on Instagram (as seen above):
“Until the 30th of May, the last day of my contract with Juventus, it was an absolute pleasure and honour to represent this huge club! Grazie tutti.”
Veiga has been left out of Chelsea’s Club World Cup squad which means he’s highly likely to be sold or loaned, but surely this rules out any return to Juventus who apparently wanted to keep him?
I do wonder now where he might end up this summer because it surely wont be at Chelsea either.
