Koulibaly has arrived in London to complete his medical before flying to Los Angeles in the coming hours to be unveiled and join the squad. Raheem Sterling has spent one season with the team.

One down, two more defenders to go, probably Kimpembe or Koulibaly and then Ake. Let's not sign all three as that'll not give playings time to Levi Colwill and he's one of the younglings I'll love Tuchel to give a chance to. Look how giving Trevoh Chalobah, James etc some opportunity to prove themselves played out, Colwill should also be given same opportunity or we'll reject just as we have in the past since we're known for letting our young talents leave the club or go on loans.

Let's get it done with the defense quickly so some attention can be given to the attack. Yes we have secured sterling but is that enough to compete with Liverpool and Manchurian city for the title, not yet. We need a striker or better alternative to our current attacking force assuming we'll be using Havertz as a false 9 next season.

Koulibaly flew to England and tomorrow will do medical with Chelsea.
Yes, it is official already. I read on Fabrizio Romano's tweet, he said Koulibaly moves to Chelsea. It is a great deal for Chelsea, they finally can get a replacement for Rudiger. It is very important to have another strong center-back like Koulibaly since Chelsea only has Thiago Silva as a top CB right now. Having Koulibaly in the Chelsea squad has fixed the problem in the defense line. I really appreciate Chelsea scout that can sign Koulibaly although he is the key player in Napoli.

Bringing koulibaily to the team was a good move, cause the blues was seriously in need of a strong defender that can easily replace the likes of rudiger in the team, and koulibaily was a good choice for the blues, cause he's a quality defender with alot of experience. It was a bold steps by the blues, cause they were seriously in need of a quality defender, and bringing in koulibaily will help strengthen the team defend next season.

It looks like Chelsea are just a step away from getting Kalidou Koulibaly, as it is rumored that Koulibaly will fly to London for a medical test.
This means that Chelsea have indeed reached an agreement with Napoli, it is rumored that Koulibaly will be bought for 40 million euros and
that is quite a high price for a defender whose contract is set to expire in one year. Napoli were also afraid of losing Koulibaly on a free next season,
so they accepted the offer Chelsea made. If it's true that Chelsea finally officially got Kalidou Koulibaly, this is a very good purchase. Besides
Chelsea indeed needing a new defender, Koulibaly has also proven to be a good player, he is one of the players who has played very consistently
with Napoli.

Juventus was on the player but can't compete with the offer salary rumored around 10m/€.

Juventus seems to be on Pau Torres now.

Chelsea are really covering all the possible loopholes in the team, they lost Christensen and Rudiger to the Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, but they replaced them with 3 defenders in Ampadu, Miazga both returned from loans with a better experience and now Koulibaly and Sterling are grand addition to that back squad.

They are close to signing Frenkie de Jong also so their defense would get a lot stronger.

Its actually not. The latest news was De Jong still doesnt have any intention to leave therefore its going to be a while before Manchester United could sign him. I honestly doubt that he will leave this season though, this guy show his intention on staying so forcing him to leave by bidding even higher is just so pointless at this point
With Ten Hag at Manchester United now there are some aspects that encourage De Jong to want to leave but Barcelona are currently trying to be a clown by giving a clause that doesn't make sense.
They don't seem too intent on removing De Jong from Camp Nou, especially since they still have a salary debt to him.

What wrong with Mesut? I had almost forgotten about him, but I read some news about him. As a result of mutual consent, Mesut Ozil's contract has been terminated by Fenerbahçe, Turkish professional football club. He has joined Istanbul Basakshir, a rival team. Ozil is a man of bluntness and truthfulness. Supporting oppressed groups and speaking out about them was always a part of his life. There is a lot of respect and love I have for him.
At the time of Mesut Ozil at Real Madrid, football games in la liga were slower with less intensity. Now teams play fast football, high tensity and high pressing football which Mesut Ozil cannot keep up with. At Arsenal he was kept on the bench, then it was as if he was being punished for nothing, now everyone can see him for how slow and dull he is. Playing him now in a league with so much competition is not advisable and will be problem to the team.

Ozil problems are majorly out of football playing. He is too blunt, bold and truthful. For goodness sake, Ozil isn't as slow as a snail and he wasn't that slow as you described him.when he played alongside Ronaldo.
Any team that loses ball much doesn't need ozil because they will need a more physique and fast guy to do the marking. But on a very balanced team that is possessing football, Ozil is the perfect man to complete the passes.

I still respect him till date, though he might not be the legend we want but he has made significant impacts in football

There is no doubt most of the peoples love to live in dreams world and never want to accept truth same happening here in Barcelona case too many signings and crises are still looming around them with having no fair chance for next year's title. Xavi is bringing too many star players, but we have no idea how they are going to settle and perform because we already have an example like PSG which have too many stars but fail to achieve their main target and this is surely going to hurt them as well. Here Barcelona needs to face reality and work on few tough decisions instead of bringing more high profile players those are not going to have any positive impact on their just can create some more financial problems which are already creating feud.
Oh, yes, I also don't quite agree with the amount of praise that was expressed on the results of Xavi's work in Barcelona in the first season, but still it's worth admitting that the debut turned out to be quite successful and the main task in the form of getting into the Champions League was completed. Otherwise, it's even scary to imagine how Barcelona could get out of this tangle of contradictions that has accumulated in recent years. This is still being given to the club with great difficulty and great effort, but in case of non-participation in the Champions League in general, a complete catastrophe would break out. Also, I would not say that the club is deteriorating under Xavi's leadership, it was just difficult to expect to conquer the peaks in this situation. Another question is that in the new season, the expectations and requirements for Xavi will be completely different and there will be no discounts for the accompanying circumstances.

Chelsea should have gone for a defender with a lesser age, how long can Thiago Silva and Koullibaly stay in that back defense how consistent can they go without injury. Well Tuchel has his own plan.
Age has nothing to do with performance; Silva is 37 and was one of the best defenders last season; Kouly is 31 and could play at the top level for another four years; he has experience and strength, which is the most important factor.

I don't see fresh rumours about Tielemans now. His last recorded rumour is seen like it was related to Manchester United. He was linked with Arsenal very much too. Honestly I don't think Manchester United need Tielemans now. They need a defensive midfielder rather than an offensive one like Tielemans. Arsenal also aren't in need of a midfielder like him actually. They have three attacking midfielders now. Maybe Manchester United would increase the alternatives at least as they have only Bruno Fernandes who is mainly an attacking midfielder.

According to reports,Arsenal are set to step up their chase for Youri Tielemans of Leicester,and the gunners are ready to make a bid in the region of 25 million Euros for the Belgium player.He has been subject to speculation for a period of time now,and it once looked as if the gunners cooled their interest for a period of time,but now they have reignite their interest in the player and are set to lodge an official bid that will convince Leicester into selling the player.If the gunners can see this deal materialise,he will definitely be a fine addition to the Arsenal team.
Arsenal have always wanted to sign Youri Tielemans from the beginning, Arsenal have monitored him for a while, the news of reigniting their interest in the player is good news for the fans they will love to see their club get a world-class player joining the club. If all goes well, they will be able to get a bid accepted by Leicester City for  Tielemans, a bid which will be too tempting to reject and get the deal done and dusted.

Really good signing for Chelsea. After Sterling this will be an amazing transfer and they will have a good defence aswell as offence.
Chelsea will look really good this season and will probobly win some trophies this season. A lot of potencial in their squad.

I keep wondering how this team keeps getting stars to their team even with this financial issues they are facing.
Some of these players have always dreamed of playing for these clubs from a young age, and as a result of the personal attachment to the club they tend to ignore or not pay too many attention to any financial situation these club face, they always believe that there is a way and they end up being owed. I'm a bit worried about Ronaldo, Bayern has indicated that they don't want him, I doubt also that PSG will sign him considering they have Messi already, the club he may most likely end up with may be Chelsea.

Honestly, Chelsea was fast at this. I wasn't following speculation for sometime now but the Koulibaly of a guy is a strong force to Chelsea defense.
They were not just fast, but also smart as well. With koulibaly, they may not miss Rudiger so much in the coming season. There are rumors that Presnel Kimpembe From PSG, another defender may be the next to join Chelsea, as they have started negotiations.

They moved quickly to fill the void at the back after Ake now Koulibaly had agreed.
This is something that is quite good even though Koulibaly is 31 years old but in terms of performance and experience he also has advantages.
It seems that in this case Chelsea were Passive at the start of the transfer but now they have done quite well by making quite a splash in recent days.

Napoli can not sell to one of their biggest rivals the hates also continues in the transfer market.
Juventus chances of getting Pau Torres are small they will end up not getting him.

Honestly, Chelsea was fast at this. I wasn't following speculation for sometime now but the Koulibaly of a guy is a strong force to Chelsea defence. It seems that among all the Chelsea defence line, it is only Silva that is remaining. Rudiger is gone, Christainsen is gone, Aplicueta also not available. That is the need for Koulibaly at all cost.

Tuchel is really building a fresh team for the club. The front line is already strong, just that I don't trust the ability of Harverts to lead Chelsea attack.

The soap with Frenkie de Jong is still not over. It's unbelievable actually, this has been going on for months and is almost as long as the vicissitudes that had arisen when Messi was to leave Barcelona. Isn't it surprising that it all takes so long? I understand that the price of this player has to be negotiated but this is taking way too long now. It wouldn't surprise me if this game is now only played in the hope that Barcelona can drive the price up for de Jong. I think Barcelona really wants to take the top prize, it seems.
I think Manchester United would have to forget about getting De jong and put their focus somewhere else. According to reports, Barcelona owes him a huge sum of money and cannot pay him at the moment, some sources have indicated that Barcelona asked him to cut down his wage and he has rejected the option. I keep wondering how this team keeps getting stars to their team even with this financial issues they are facing.
