BOG OFF
Chelsea are reportedly in a position for another payday with former boy Jeremie Boga moving to Rennes.
Goal claims the French look has made an initial offer of £ 17m plus additions for the 23-year-old Sassuolo winger.
When rumors of a purchase of 13 million pounds arose, Chelsea renegotiated the clause with the Italians and placed a sales rate of between 10 and 15%.
And Boga, also associated with Everton, now seems destined to return to the former Rennes lender, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season to secure a place in the Champions League.
It is believed that an offer from be through Sassuolo has already been rejected and he hopes that the new offer from be of at least £ 17 million will be enough to close a deal.
KOUL-ING OFF
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says the club’s bad blood with Manchester City affects any deal for Kalidou Koulibaly.
Serie A infuriated Pep Guardiola’s men after Jorginho’s failed play in the summer of 2018.
He said to Canale 21, “How can we have a general and quiet negotiation with Manchester City to sell Koulibaly?They won’t talk to us about Jorginho’s agreement two years ago.”
He added: “Koulibaly and [Arkadiusz] Milik are about to leave, if the movement market allows it.
“So if the market moves us to sell those two wonderful players, we will know how to update them. If not, we will communicate it next year.
“Kalidou is a wonderful person, he would be extraordinarily unhappy to lose him.But a moment for everything, even to separate.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE
Elsewhere, West Ham may be on the verge of withdrawing from a movement for Said Benrahma.
The Telegraph report on the Hammers’ refusal to honor the £ 20m Brentford winger.
With defense noted as a more vital domain for David Moyes to improve, the deal is at a dead end.
Aston Villa are also excited but, likewise, may not feel like paying full value for the Algerian.
LUK OUT
Luka Modric says Barcelona would have been there if Lionel Messi had left.
The authentic Croatian star of Madrid compared to the past discussed the departure of the Argentine with the moment when Cristiano Ronaldo left Los Blancos for Juventus in 2018.
He told AFP before Messi’s announcement: “It would be a huge loss, like when Cristiano left.
“But you can’t think of the past. It’s football and that’s it.
“If that happens, it will be a massive loss to the prestige of the league. But we have to move on. The other players will star.
“When Christian left, the same thing happened; Real Madrid’s life has followed him and will be the same for Barcelona and the Messi League.
‘NEVER’
Lionel Messi has made it clear that he will never have brought legal action against Barcelona.
The club appears to have won its war of words for its termination clause, which led Messi to accept that his 12-month contract be maintained.
And he told Goal: “There is some other way and what to go to trial.
“I would never go to the court opposite to Barça, it is the club I love, which has given me everything since my arrival.
“It’s the myArray club I made my here.
“Barça gave me everything and I gave everything. I know it happened to me to sue Barça.
MORE FROM MESSI
This is what Lionel Messi said about his move-in clause that has been subject to legal threats.
He told Goal, “I have an idea and I was sure I was on the loose to leave, the president said that by the end of the season I could make a decision about whether or not I would stay.”
“Now they cling to the fact that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for La Liga in the midst of this lousy coronavirus and this disease has replaced the whole season.
“And this is the explanation for why I’m still at the club.
“Now I’m going to stay at the club because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 630 million pound clause, and that’s impossible.”
IT’S OFFICIAL.
Lionel Messi stays in Barcelona.
But he is NOT happy.
The striker told Goal, “I wasn’t satisfied and I looked to leave.
“I have been allowed to do this and will remain at the club to enter into a legal dispute.”
Control of the bar run by Bartomeu is a disaster.”
DEMORA BARCA
Although we already knew the basics of Lionel Messi’s upcoming announcement, he was delayed.
Officially we’re going to get to know the news at five o’clock in the afternoon.
Stay tuned…
Break
He stays, as they say in Spain… Messi stays!
The blue-rated striker told Goal that he would move to the court with his club.
Although the Catalans say that it is their only track at the moment, in addition to a rival that contributes 630 million pounds, they are holding on at the Camp Nou.
MESSI DECISION ENTRY
We’re expecting a public announcement about Lionel Messi’s long term anytime now…
Watch out for this place!
THE HOUSE OF ROME
Chris Smalling is ready to seal £18 million from Manchester United to Rome.
United were not easy for the defender with 20 million pounds, but he would probably settle for paying 18 million pounds plus bonuses, according to Sky Sports Italia.
The agreement seemed not to go anywhere as the Italian company was only willing to disburse $15 million, which United rejected.
Roma were willing to retain Smalling after his impressive one-year period with the club.
The 30-year-old revealed that he was devastated to leave Rome and willing to settle for a pay cut to make the deal come true.
In a moving post on his Instagram page, Smalling said, “I’m devastated not to finish what we started this season.”
Sincerely
Frank Lampard is about to continue his summer expenses as he marks a new goalkeeper and defensive midfielder.
The Head of the Blues has already welcomed Hakim Ziyech, 27, Timo Werner, 24, Ben Chilwell, 23, Thiago Silva, 35 and Malang Sarr, 21, on his team.
But he’s ready to boost his movement beyond $200 million while secureing a record contract with the club for 21-year-old Kai Havertz.
The game maker has left his German team in the League of Nations to complete the final stages of his 90 million pound play.
But according to The Telegraph, Lampard remains a goal scorer and defensive midfielder.
SunSport has revealed that Kepa Arrizabalaga under fire will fight for his position at Stamford Bridge, but that could not possibly prevent the club from competing.
Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and West Ham’s Declan Rice are understood to be on Chelsea’s radar.
RED SERG
Manchester United would possibly have to settle for Sergio Reguilón’s transfer through Real Madrid despite an offer of 27 million pounds for him.
Despite the interest of Tottenham, Paris-Saint Germain, Napoli and Juventus, United would be the team that would have submitted an offer.
The offer of 27 million pounds was made this week, however, they can only land the star for 12 months at first.
Reguilon remains a contract until 2023 and is highly appreciated by the chefs of the Bernabéu club after passing through the club’s academy.
And while Zidane would possibly be pleased to sell to raise funds for the move, Madrid’s most sensible managers can also lend it only instead, Sport says.
The defender is in a position to spend another year at Sevilla and is hopeful that a replacement for the coach before his contract expires can give him a long-term chance at Real Madrid.
UPDATE MESSI
Lionel Messi has refused to have his contract with Barcelona include a clause of 624 million pounds as he seeks to leave with a loose handover.

BAY AND GREAT
Thiago has confessed that ‘Bayern is my home’ despite their impending move amid the Manchester United-Liverpool clash.
The midfielder enters the last year of his contract, with Bayern in a position to make money in the Spaniard valued at 27 million pounds.
Liverpool at the helm to point him out, with United having announced donny van de Beek’s 40 million-pound signaling from Ajax.

He told the ZDF: “I only think about the game opposing Ukraine.Then let’s see.
“Bayern is my home and I am pleased to be there.”
Goodbye GEORG
Georginio Wijnaldum has refused to dismiss a transfer to Barcelona amid a developing hypothesis about his possible departure from Liverpool.
The Dutch foreigner has less than a year of contract with the Reds and could put aside a loose move next summer.
The 29-year-old is said to have signed a three-year contract to sign for the Spanish giants, who expect to pay Liverpool around $18 million.
Wijnaldum went on a project to the Netherlands where he broke the silence for the first time about his future.
He said, “These are just rumors. I can’t say anything at the moment.
Wijnaldum, whom Barça sees as a replacement for Ivan Rakitic, even joked with the media after being asked if he could be a key star for the Catalans.
He added: “I think you were going to ask me if it could be just a component of the Dutch team. If you ask me about ‘Orange’, I can answer.

BARC FOR MORE
Lionel Messi has reportedly recorded confirmation that he will remain in Barcelona for one more season.
The 33-year-old received a £ 623 million contract to sign up with Manchester City after submitting his move-in application.
But Sphera Sports affirms that the Argentine has to see his contract at the Camp Nou.
Messi’s father, who is his agent, traveled to Spain this week to talk face-to-face with the club’s management.
Jorge showed for the first time Thursday that the 33-year-old is contemplating staying.
When asked if Messi would not leave a possibility, he replied, “Yes.”
CAL MAY BE ME.
Aston Villa has had a £ 15 million offer for Callum Wilson rejected through Bournemouth.
Cherries hopes to sell the 28-year-old England striker this summer after relegation, but he has more than 20 million pounds.
It remains to be noted whether Villa will return with a higher offer, while Newcastle would also be interested.
Bournemouth already sold Nathan Ake to Manchester City for a million pounds and Aaron Ramsdale to Sheffield United for 18.5 million pounds.
These outings have facilitated the desire to sell, however Wilson and his compatriot Josh King will likely continue with Ake and Ramsdale through the exit door in this movement window.
Wilson, who has four international matches with his country, has three more years on his contract of $100,000 a week with Cherries.

DO SOMETHING OF THAT
Chelsea collected 143 million pounds for the signing of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
The Belgian midfielder signed a five-year contract with the Spanish giants in the summer after seven years in west London.
But the 29-year-old was unable to soften the Bernabéu as many expected, as he suffered injuries and fitness problems.
But Chelsea may not bother, as they will raise about 150 million pounds with the deal, negotiated by experts through director Marina Granovskaia.
According to Voetball, Chelsea gained 36 million pounds in advance when Hazard joined the Royal Year.
This year they will get 50 million pounds more and by 2021 57 million pounds more will be poured into the coffers of Stamford Bridge.
