wtf, since when are they in for Raphinha?
They basically got in the race once Arsenal started sniffing around. That was when Leeds stopped going down any lower on their asking price.

We were actually linked with him in the last window. But this has indeed come out of nowhere today. Perhaps Dembele let it be known that he’s staying at Barca so we quickly switched focus to Raphinha.

Time to get excited, Chelsea fans.
 
Wouldn't count it as done yet. If Barca come close to the fee then the player might force Leeds to sell there instead.

No chance if Barcelona don't come close though and submit lower offers like they've been thinking.
 
I could be proven wrong but I don’t think he is any better than the selection of players they have in those areas.

Sterling is a level above and makes sense, but I think paying so much just to throw him in the collection with CHO, Havertz, Werner, Pulisic, Ziyech etc… is a mistake. I don’t think he is a better footballer than any of them.

To be fair, Chelsea have moved on Lukaku for the upcoming season, and they're looking to move on Ziyech, too. They also want to move Timo Werner on, so Raphinha and Sterling will likely replace Werner and Ziyech in the team. Pulisic might also move on depending on what happens; Chelsea would be okay with letting him go, too.

I guess they will need the numbers, but for that price, I think you would be wanting a better player.

I think it’s just change for change sake and he doesn’t really make the team any better than Pulisic does. Sterling is a clear upgrade but I don’t think Raphinha is, and I would be looking for more for that sort of money.

Ziyech, and Werner are moving on. Pulisic did not sign an extension, so he will most likely be sold with 18 months left on his contract.
 
£35-40m for Sterling seems low. Is he running down his contract?
His contract will expire next year, yeah. He rejected City's most recent contract offer a few months back and is looking to leave in order to get regular playing time.

I think he will fit them very well. He is faster and stronger, good at set pieces, probably will score more goals on a dominant side. He can operate centrally too and i supect he might be able to play as wingback. He could cover for Werner, Mount and maybe James, if they need go full attack.
 
Botman is a very solid player. Was impressed with him when we played Lille in the CL this past season.

Damn, this has been a good day for Utd transfer news but Raphinha's probably going to be an excellent signing for Chelsea. Top 4 is going to be really difficult this year
 

My dream Rüdiger replacement for the left CB spot. Unfortunately, looks like he will be signing a new contract from what I‘ve been reading.
 
Koulibaly + any of the other CB’s we’ve been linked with (de Ligt, Skriniar, Koundé, Gvardiol) would be mega, tbh. We may have to have the biggest transfer window ever for it to happen, through.
 


If De Ligt is available we should at least try to get him. Get the band back together with De Jong, Van De Beek and Ten Hag. I know he'd be more expensive than Lisandro Martinez but maybe worth it in the long run.

No way. de Ligt hasn’t really kicked on since his early promise and will cost a fortune.

Martinez can play DM, CB, and LCB in a 3. He’s also the first left footed CB we’ll sign for ages. He’ll be cheaper, cover a few positions in the team we lack quality in, and will have worked with EtH more recently. It makes much more sense to get him.
 


Johnstone, Ebiowei and Doucoure for an £18m outlay is a great start to the window.
