And the Blues are now in a position to step up their quest for Kai Havertz, while Jan Oblak would have doubts at Atletico Madrid after his disappointing Champions League defeat against RB Leipzig.
Receive all gossip and updates on Stamford Bridge transfers…
OB VAMOS
Atletico Madrid will surely not need to give in to his 108 million pound termination clause for Jan Oblak, but he will have to convince the goalkeeper that his long career is in Madrid, according to AS.
The Spanish newspaper reports that the Slovenian has doubts about Atletico’s plan and is one of many players who know that the club has won a trophy this season.
Atleti has also replaced his movement strategy to prepare for a time when Oblak will no longer be at the club.
Where experienced substitutes such as Miguel Angel Moya and Antonio Adan had signed in the past, the club has now signed Croatian Ivo Grbic, 24.
However, the report adds that the club has earned a smart value for Antoine Griezmann (Barcelona), Lucas Hernandez (Bayern Munich) and Rodri (Man City) and that this is to replace at this time.
I HAVE SOME OF THEM
Ben Chilwell in Chelsea is a done deal, for Italian journalist Nicolo Schira.
Schira added that Chelsea had increased its bid for Kai Havertz to 72 million pounds, to 81 million pounds with add-ons.
However, Bayer Leverkusen is said to stick to its demands of 90 million pounds even though Havertz is pushing for a move.

GREAT AGAIN

Robben played the first 30 minutes for Groningen in a friendly with Almere City that ended in a 1–1 draw.
The former Chelsea star retired in 2019 after a decade with Bayern.
But he took the resolution to re-help Groningen from the monetary setbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Before today’s launch, the Dutchman had asked to delay his return to football after feeling the physical effects of an intense pre-season education and had missed the Eredivisie’s friendly against PEC Zwolle last week.
REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
That’s how enthusiasts can expect to return to the stadiums next season.
Possibly it wouldn’t be the usual business.
Crazy bat
Leeds United has teamed up through Atalanta in the race to point to Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, according to reports.
The Belgian striker has one year left of his current contract, and Les Bleus hopes to place him as a customer this summer to waste it in 2021.
And the Express says the Champions League quarter-finals, Atalanta, will compete with Marcelo Bielsa’s in the Batshuayi chase.
The Italian side has reportedly opened talks about a 26-year-old loan agreement that would come with an option to buy it directly at the end of the season.
Atalanta, who finished third in Serie A to qualify for the Champions League next season, Colombian striker Duvan Zapata will lose to Juventus.
Batshuayi considered the wishes surplus through Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, and interested clubs were asked to pay 20 million pounds for their signing.
M-BLU
Chelsea’s new signing, 18-year-old Xavier Mbuyamba, has revealed that he needs to become the first team through the game for the progression team.
The Blues have landed the Dutchman from Barcelona after two years at La Masia.
Former Maastricht star Mbuyamba said: “I’m a central defender, very ball-deep, strong, also in the air, I like to play my duels.
“First of all, I need to play a season on the progression team, the team is already a very forged team, they won the league without defeat.
“I just need to be one of the players, some goals, but I love the blank sheets
“If you look where I come from, a small club in Holland is one thing.
RE-VERTZ TIME
Time runs for Chelsea to offer Kai Havertz after Bayer Leverkusen reiterated his 90 million pound request for the midfielder.
The Bundesliga club begins the pre-season on 28 August, informing Germany that it details a strict deadline imposed on the agreement through the Havertz team.
Although the 21-year-old needs to move to west London, Leverkusen sees few explanations why he give up his prize.
Sports director Rudi Voller insists he is “relaxed” on stage and Bild reports that Chelsea have until Friday to seal a transfer.
TAG GAME
Nicolas Tagliafico is undercover through Leicester to upgrade To Ben Chilwell, connected to Chelsea.

ONLY FOR THE LOLLS
Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon has revealed that he is following the progress of Reims’ ace Edouard Mendy, who is connected to a return to Marseille.
He told Le Parisien: “He has reached maturity, on a rather bearing, and is even more meritorious.
“Edouard Mendy is today, for me, the goalkeeper of the French Championship.
“This is what I call a proactive and very influential goalkeeper … Reims did a wonderful task with him.
“Perhaps in [Marseille] they could not stumble upon the skill I had in him, but it was not the right time either.
“In any case, he’s a goalkeeper we stick to in the Premier League.”
MONEY-LINED
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has given the green light to the million-pound madness against Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, reportedly.
Blues owner Frank Lampard and expert Marina Granovskaia have been given a touch of flavor in their plans to launch a summer primary review.
Abramovich is pleased that Chelsea is spending 50 million pounds on their 3 goals, and the rest of the cash will be raised through sales, according to the Express.
Chelsea have already spent more than a million pounds this summer to sign Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.
Former RB Leipzig striker has charged the Blues for 48 million pounds, while former Ajax star Ziyech has been signed for 33.3 million pounds, as part of a deal that could charge up to 36.7 million pounds.
But now the bosses of Stamford Bridge are turning to bring even more new blood.
CHELSEA ACCESSORIES
Here are the opening and the big ones to come for the Blues in this new season.
Chelsea is about to point to Ben Chilwell, to resources such as The Guardian, The Athletic and Football Insider.
Leicester’s left-back is expected to move between forty-five and 50 million pounds in a massive blow for the leader of the Navy Granovskaia.
A value of 80 million pounds had already been mentioned, but it turns out that Granovskaia has controlled it to reduce it by almost 50 percent.
Football Insider also claims that the Blues are making smart progress in a deal by Kai Havertz and are preparing to make Bayer Leverkusen a new offer of more than 70 million pounds to secure movement on the line.
Chelsea is recently focusing on either deal, but the report says that once Chilwell and Havertz are recruited, the Blues will do so with Declan Rice.
Frank Lampard has been discouraged by West Ham’s 80 million pound value as he seeks to point out the midfielder and turn him into a central defender.
But the deal proved too expensive, Thiago Silva may be a less expensive option as he prepares to leave PSG with a loose move this summer.
The Guardian reports that Chelsea has had talks with former Brazilian captain while Frank Lampard makes the decision whether or not to do so.
