And Frank Lampard is also interested in a discounted deal for John Stones, after an agent revealed that he had vetoed the transfer.
Follow all the latest bridge updates below…
INCREASING MORALE
Chelsea President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he has not won a trophy.
Les Bleus lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal before this month.
Buck said: “At the end of the day, we think it’s been a very successful season.
“Obviously we would have been a little happier if we had won the FA Cup.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
IS P-RICE GOOD?
Chelsea has submitted a bid of 50 million pounds for West Ham star Declan Rice reportedly.
The Blues have been connected to a 21-year-old former academy ace throughout the season.
And now Sky Sports claims Chelsea made their first offer for the England defensive midfielder.
Frank Lampard claims that he has made rice a “priority” objective.
However, it is also claimed that Lampard needs Rice to fill the void in defence, which his defensive role he likes in midfield.
ALL HANDS IN DEC
Perry Groves subsidized Chelsea to make a move for Declan Rice.
He told talkSPORT: “I think it suits Chelsea because she already said they look weak in the middle of their midfield.”
“It gives them a little physical strength and gets older with the ball.
“I would be a player who would do the two central halves. So it makes sense.
“The value will be higher because it’s obviously English, which increases the value of another 10 million pounds, won’t it?”
LABEL IT
Chelsea have increased their 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.
Keep an eye on that.
Former Chelsea target Alphonse Areola is said to have faced a house in England after Real Madrid announced that it would increase its lending period.
Yahoo Sports claimed that the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper had bought assets in London, before confirming that Les Bleus were interested.
PSG already has Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico in their first team and Areola may get out of the penalties.
RUUD AWAKENING
Liverpool has reportedly been linked to a surprise move through Chelsea defence Antonio Rudiger.
The Reds would have him as central after Dejan Lovren’s departure.
The Spanish half-time Mundo Deportivo says Rudiger will possibly show him the exit door this summer, with Liverpool interested as Chelsea in a move by Declan Rice.
WAG – WAR $
The biggest payroll in Europe has been revealed, with FOUR Premier League groups among the ten most sensitive, but NOT Chelsea!
With the 2019-2020 national season now over and dusted off, the annual payroll has been made through SafeBettingSites.
HE’S GOT A LAUGH.
Kai Havertz has been announced as a Player for Heracles Almelo after Bayer Leverkusen joked that he would join the Dutch minnows.
The German striker has been closely associated with a change to Chelsea from a 90 million pound deal.
But his coach’s former team, Almelo, tried the race.
Leverkusen played their last game of the season when they fell from the Europa League.

FAST SANDS
Juventus would pay attention to the delivery of Alex Sandro this summer, putting Chelsea on high alert.
The Bleus have long been admirers of the Brazilian, having done everything possible to signal the mandate of Antonio Conte.
More recently, Chelsea hoped to get Sandro in a package by Emerson Palmieri, which has so far not materialized.
But the news that it may be available now with a discount value of 36 million pounds can spark new interest.
The 29-year-old remains a key player in Turin, having played 41 times the 2019–20 season.
But according to Corriere dello Sport, the club’s leaders expect around 180 million pounds in player sales to fund the summer moving budget of new boss Andrea Pirlo, with Sandro being one of the players about to get the axe.
STRONG SPEECH
Daniel Sturridge has appealed to Premier League clubs.
The 31-year-old has thrown a ball at the festival since leaving Trabzonspor in March after being sent off for violating FA gambling rules.
Sturridge told Sky Sports: “I’m open to betting in other leagues, it’s not just the Premier League I’m going to consider.
“But going back to England and doing my thing would be a great choice for me.
“I’m very excited, I’m hungrier than ever and I’m totally focused on the next chapter.”
YIPPEE KAI YAY
Kai Havertz would possibly have scored his last goal for Bayer Leverkusen against Inter Milan in his Europa League quarter-final loss.
But if that’s the case, it’s a strike to continue.
The 21-year-old is rumoured to be at Chelsea on a 90 million pound contract.
I think the two clubs had to negotiate to agree on those fees and how they will be paid.
But unlike Inter, Havertz showed some of the skills Blues enthusiasts can expect to see in the Premier League.

Eventually, Willian is about to sign for Arsenal after undergoing his medical check-up, he reportedly.
The Brazilian is about to sign up for his London rival Chelsea on a three-year contract after announcing his departure from Stamford Bridge.
And The Standard claims that a loose move is after Willian accepted a salary of 100,000 euros consistent with the week with the FA Cup winners.

GAME FACE
EA Sports will eliminate some celebrations from the latest FIFA 21 game to prevent the spread of the “toxic” habit among players.
The famous “shut up” birthday party is just one of the birthday parties that are abandoned.
It is composed of a player who takes his finger to his lips after locating the target to ”silence’ silently to opposing fans.
Another birthday party to be held is the “A-OK” hand gesture, which was added last year to a list of hate symbols due to its connotations with white supremacists.
