CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING
Yesterday HOT!
The Blues also teamed up through Arsenal in the race for Joelson Fernandes after the Gunners had an offer of ’29 million pounds ‘ rejected through Sporting Lisbon’.
Athletic’s David Ornstein also said Chelsea remained for Declan Rice, but he will have to pay for it.
He told the Tifo Football podcast: “We know that Frank Lampard is a big fan of Rice of West Ham and would like to make him a midfielder a more sensible central defender.
“I know other people in football who think they can achieve global elegance in this position.
“West Ham will rate incredibly high rates,” they advised resources on diversity of 65 to 70 million pounds and are in a position of contractual strength.
“I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced through Rice, but he’s the one Lampard wants.”
Ornstein also revealed that Chelsea would make an offer for Kai Havertz after the Europa League final.
The tender will charge the Blues around 80 million euros, or 72 million pounds, and negotiations will intensify soon, with Havertz a break after the Europa League.
He said: “We know all about Chelsea in Havertz.
“Havertz looked to wait a little to see if there were other options.
“We’ve noticed it with jadon Sancho’s scenario, it’s not easy.
They are willing to pay what the Leverkusen and that’s about 80 million euros.”
On the other hand, Chelsea star Timo Werner and her friend Julia stored 10 euros with “Eat Out to Help” in Mayfair Novikov’s elegant restaurant.
And finally, Premier League clubs will have to provide an additional 170 million pounds for this season, after delayed clubs pay the covid-19 televised discount.
Domestic and foreign broadcasters have forced Prem clubs to settle for a refund of around 330 million pounds for the closure of three months.
This despite the resumption of the League in June and its brooch last month.
It was originally planned that 170 million pounds of this season’s expected revenue would be paid, a hit for clubs to start the next period behind closed doors.
MOUNT AIN OF A MOLEHILL
Mason Mount would probably have been too excited when Sky Sport Italia reporter Angelo Mangiante connected Declan Rice to Chelsea.
The Blues midfielder liked a social media article on the Sports Bible that claimed Frank Lampard had made an initial offer of 50 million pounds for the West Ham star.
Rice and Mount are close friends as they played together at Chelsea Academy.

Maddox joined Chelsea at the age of 14 and won consecutive FA Youth Cups and the UEFA Youth Cup during his time at the club.

LET’S GO TO CHIL OUT
Some of Chelsea’s bosses are convinced through two of Frank Lampard’s main goals, according to reports.
The Blues have been closely connected to Declan Rice of West Ham and Ben Chilwell of Leicester, but there are doubts about their suitability in the ranks of Western Londoners.
Sports reporter David Ornstein told Tifo’s podcast: “We know your interest in Chilwell, but I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced of the prices it will cost to get it out of Leicester’s hands, about 50 million pounds.”
“In central defender, we know that Lampard really likes Rice at West Ham and would like to move from a midfielder to a more sensible central defender.
“West Ham will rate incredibly high rates,” they advised resources in the diversity of 65 to 70 million pounds, do not want to sell and are in a position of contract strength.
“I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced through Declan Rice, yet it’s the one Lampard wants.

CFC V MCFC BC
Ben Chillwell will be the subject of interest to Manchester City and Chelsea this season, he reports.
And David Ornstein believes the City will have to transfer to Benjamin Mendy or Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is injured, for the move to take place.
Ornstein told Tifo’s football podcast: “We know [Chelsea’s] interest in Leicester City’s Ben Chillwell, I don’t think everyone is convinced at Chelsea of the prices it will take to praise him by Leicester.
“The city is also interested, but still concerned about Champions League football, it will have to move on one or more left sides to lose ground and also finance.

Manchester United may be in a position for an ordinary and ambitious offer by Kai Havertz if his search for Jadon Sancho fails.
The Red Devils are willing to spend a lot on the tip of England, but they run into the value of Borussia Dortmund’s 108 million pounds.
And, according to the Manchester Evening News, it is possible that simply Havertz, as Chelsea is the favourite to sign.
The Blues, the offensive midfielder, scored 18 goals for Bayer Leverkusen last season.
But at the beginning of the summer, United was connected to the young German.
THE LATEST IN RICE
David Ornstein also said that Chelsea remained for Declan Rice, but that he will have to pay for it.
He told the Tifo Football podcast: “We know that Frank Lampard is a big fan of West Ham’s Declan Rice and would like to turn him as a midfielder into a more sensible central defender.
“I know footballers who think they can achieve global elegance in this position.
“West Ham will rate incredibly high rates,” they advised resources on diversity of 65 to 70 million pounds and are in a position of contractual strength.
“I don’t think everyone at Chelsea is convinced through Declan Rice, yet it’s the one Lampard wants.”
HAVERTZ SITUATION
Chelsea will make an offer for Kai Havertz after the Europa League final, according to reports.
The tender will charge the Blues around 80 million euros, or 72 million pounds, and negotiations will intensify soon, with Havertz a break after the Europa League.
David Ornstein reports on the Tifo Football podcast: “We know all about Chelsea in Kai Havertz.
“Kai Havertz looked to wait a little to see if there were other options.

RUDI’S SURPRISE
Liverpool is a surprise move for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, according to reports.
Frank Lampard is believed to be in a position to pay attention to the German’s delivery in 30 international matches after a series of disappointing performances this season.
He endured a difficult afternoon in the FA Cup final against Arsenal, then fell in the 4–1 loss to Bayern Munich.
But still, according to Mundo Deportivo, Jurgen Klopp is in a position to take a leap to land the 27-year-old.
The Reds are ahead of the hiring of another central defender this summer after ascending to Dejan Lovren.
This is how the top artistic players in the Premier League can create opportunities.
SANCHO KO
He says Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool were also looking for Sancho, but were eliminated by Covid.
The Tifo Football podcast: “Sancho grew up as a Chelsea fan.
“There was an argument with them, but the scenario has changed … after the Covid crisis.”
WAKE UP THE RUD
Liverpool can make a surprise move to point to Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger, according to reports.
Mundo Deportivo’s rumour segment says Jurgen Klopp will update Dejan Lovren after his move to Zenit St. Petersburg.
The sale of Rudiger would possibly also loosen Chelsea’s budget to point to names such as Ben Chilwell and Declan Rice, and David Ornstein reported that the Blues board is not yet convinced that the rates charged through Leicester and West Ham, respectively, are valuable.
CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING
Blues President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he did not win any trophies.
He said: “At the end of the day, we think it’s been a very successful season.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
Next season, Lampard can win his first elusive trophy as a coach if he achieves all the moving goals reported through Chelsea this summer.
The club has increased interest in ajax defence Nicolas Tagliafico after chasing Ben Chilwell.
Sky Sports claims that the Blues have so far failed to reach an agreement with Leicester by English star Chilwell and that the two clubs disagree with a review.
Tagliafico from Argentina may be the time for the Ajax player to take the Dutch giants to Stamford Bridge this summer after Hakim Ziyech.
But West Ham has reportedly rejected reports that Chelsea has won a bid of 50 million pounds for Declan Rice.
Sky Sports claims the Hammers have reiterated their position that the Star of England is for sale and any offer of 50 million pounds would be ridiculed.
The 21-year-old played for Chelsea for seven years before being 14.

NO HOLIDAY BLUES
Frank Lampard enjoys some summer sunshine in France with his wife Christine and their children afterwards even though they all completed their first season at Chelsea.
The circle of relatives looked good as they bathed in the ocean off the French Riviera.
Lampard even threw himself from a trampoline into Christine’s eyes in a white summer dress to the sea.

WARNING LIGHT
Timo Werner’s former partner supported him at Chelsea.
But speaking to Sport-Information-Dienst, former German RB Leipzig teammate Yussuf Poulsen warned that the 24-year-old would probably want time to settle down.
“I think Timo will be a Striker in the Premier League for years to come,” he said.
“Of course, you will first have to meet your teammates and the league; you can’t show all your qualities right away.
“But he’ll come in time.”
