✅ Chelsea continue to like Crystal Palace’s 22-year-old forward Michael Olise and his team-mate Eberechi Eze, 25.

Chelsea like Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, who has a release clause of €50million at Athletic Bilbao. The stumbling block with the 21-year-old Spain international is his wage demands

Suggestions Chelsea will settle for a fee in the region of £20million to £25million for Armando Broja, who is wanted by Monaco, AC Milan and 3 Premier League clubs, are premature. Chelsea value him at a minimum £35m. (via @TheAthleticFC)

Looks like we're putting all our eggs into one basket to sign Sesko then. Just pay his release clause and get it done before Arsenal can get him.

If we get 35m for Broja then we are doing something right.

No chance in hell

Trying to get as much for Broja so we can upgrade him for Sesko. If we got £25 million for Broja I'd be very happy.

NEW: Enzo Maresca is expected to give Chelsea players “tactics homework” by providing every Chelsea player with online software to analyse tactical information remotely, which will help players returning late get up to speed. (@NickPurewal) #CFC

Aka too old

Chelsea have begun negotiations with the representatives of Michael Olise. (@Santi_J_FM @footmercato) #CFC

Chelsea's management is already getting to work on the transfer window. According to our information, the Blues are taking great steps in the negotiations for Benjamin Šeško and Michael Olise.

Why do I get an AVB feeling with Maresca

AVB at least won Europa league before joining us.

This guy is from the championship!!

Who says we're going for Sesko?

Honestly think we'll end up spending £100m on Solanke or something.

"already"

We really need a strong start to the season or Maresca's going to get a lot of pressure from all angles.

In fairness we paid £100 million for Enzo so why should he go play football in the Olympics where he could get injured after what's been a really important surgery ? We let this guy play every normal international game anyway, surely that's enough.

We want him here in preseason getting used to how the new manager wants us to play and getting used to any new players etc. Makes me question Enzo's commitment tbh. It's very clear where his priorities lie. Nobody cares about football at the Olympics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I see both sides tbh. Only get a few opportunities to play in the olympics.
But also...like you say, who pays your wages
