Chelsea is looking for a new goalkeeper, right?
It was not one of their main priorities since they already have at least five senior goalkeepers in their books, but Milan Stopper Mike MaignanThe desire to move to Chelsea has created an opportunity. Enzo Maresca has repeatedly defended Robert Sánchez in public, but the evidence of last season suggests that they need an update if they want to challenge for the Premier League.
Maignan turns 30 next month and, therefore, does not conform to the profile of the Chelsea player has tended to sign in the era of the capital of Todd Boehly/Clearlake, but has experience in the Champions League and, in theory, it could be available for a reasonable rate. However, the two clubs are separated into their valuations at this time, with Milan with the hope of up to 30 million euros. However, Maignan is only one year in his contract, which makes blues believe there is space for negotiation. – James Olley
And, although they already signed Liam Deap, also another striker?
Despite having signed Delap de Ipswich for £ 30 million, and with Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku (who seeks to leave) still in the team, the sources have told ESPN that Chelsea is looking at another striker in Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike. The 22 -year -old had 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 games in all competitions this season, despite having his excellent association with Omar Marmoush in January after Egypt's international joined Manchester City.
Frankfurt, who finished third in the German Bundesliga and qualified for the UEFA Champions League, made the Loan of Ekitike from Paris Saint-Germain permanent for € 25 million in April 2024 and now wants € 80 million to let it go.

Are you needing Cunha and Mbuemo the Manchester United signings?
Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens question if Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are adequate signings for the reconstruction of Manchester United.
Who goes to Manchester United as a new striker?
Man United is pressing to sign Bryan Mbeumo From Brentford and the search for the club has been helped by the forward's desire to move to Old Trafford for a possible transfer to the Newcastle United. However, Brentford has seen United Pay Wolves a rate of £ 62.5 million to sign Matheus Cunha and will want an amount similar to the one Mbeumo is younger and has just left a season in which he reached 20 goals in the Premier League.
United has already seen a general offer of around 55 million demolished by Brentford, but the sources have told ESPN that they have improved an improved offer for more than 60 million. – Rob Dawson
Losing Liam Delap, who rejected United in favor of a transfer to Chelsea, has given the club a headache in terms of identification of a priority target as a front center. Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha can play the role, but neither is considered the solution.
However, despite their availability, the sources have told ESPN that United will not make a movement for Napoli's Victor Osimhenwhich spent last season in Galatasaray in Türkiye.

Madrid has not lost time to react to its disappointing season, signing Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-ArnoldWith Benfica Álvaro Carreras and Mastantuono de River along the way. And they will not stop there: they would also like to sign a front center experienced this summer.
The model is Joselu, who scored 10 valuable league goals, often as a substitute, in 2023-24. Madrid lost that player last season, with the talented but Youthule Endrick as the only natural replacement for Kylian Mbappé. Madrid's priority still adds to the defense and the center of the field, but if they can find adequate support No. 9 that can contribute from the bank for a reasonable rate, the new coach Xabi Alonso would also like them to do so. – Rodri Faez
Frenkie de Jong has been linked to a movement in each recent window, will it stay?
Until now, this window, everything is calm around a movement for De Jong, which is a bit strange since he only has 12 months in his contract and has been linked to such a often lately exit. However, the midfielder expire is actually an advantage for Barça. It gives them the opportunity to finally renegotiate their backward salary, which agreed to help the club during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coach Hansi Flick is a fan and the Netherlands International wants to stay, so it is just about reaching an agreement. However, to boost an extension, he is considering changing his agent, and has no shortage of interest of some of the biggest agencies of the game anxious to register it. However, you can end up sticking with your lawyer, with your only real objective to sign a new agreement as quickly as possible. – Sam Marsden
