For the last month or so, every day at Chelsea has been the same. Rumours have remained rumours and no action has been taken by the Board or the Owner as the handling of the whole situation has turned into a huge pile of mess.
Just like the fans, the players too are unsure about the future as they still don't know who will be their boss heading into the new campaign. However, the first major announcement of the off-season turned out to be a new sponsorship deal for Chelsea and when all this drama ends, the Blues fans will clearly be owed health insurance.
Blues join the hunt for Jorginho
Napoli midfielder Jorginho is one of the highly rated midfielders in European football and for quite some time, he has been heavily favoured with a move to Premier League Champions Manchester City.
But, Pep Guardiola's hopes of landing him may have been dashed momentarily as Chelsea have emerged out of nowhere and entered the contention for Jorginho, Manchester Evening Newsclaim.
The Italian international has two years remaining on his deal and it is understood that Napoli demanded a fee higher than £50 million from City. Jorginho has previously emphasized that he would follow former Maurizio Sarri to his next job destination and the 59 year old manager could take over at Stamford Bridge soon.
Due to the disagreement in the valuation, Man City have been unable to meet terms with Napoli and the likely signing of Jorginho has gotten delayed. However, with Chelsea joining the fray for the 26-year-old, they may hold the advantage as they would look to capitalize on this situation and conclude a double deal for both the player and manager.
Chelsea suffer hit in the chase for Ndombele
Chelsea has sustained a major setback in their chase for Tanguy Ndombele as Olympique Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas informed suitors that the midfielder is not for sale, according to the reports of Express UK.
The Blues welcomed competition from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Ndombele and had identified the Frenchman as a viable replacement for the in-demand N'Golo Kante.
The 21-year-old had an impressive debut campaign at Lyon, notching up 28 starts in the league and accumulated six assists.
A deep-lying midfielder, Ndombele is highly regarded for his passing and dribbling qualities along with his versatility, to switch into the position of a creator or a holding role.
Lyon is insistent on their verdict and are not resigned to losing their best players as they intend to keep their structure in place and will continue to fend off interest from major European clubs for their prized assets.
