Chelsea Arming Itself forthe 2016-17 Season
NicholasFainlight.org @Nick_Fainlight
The Eurocup is busy underway and it seems like the internationaltournament has relegated club football to a back seat. ForChelsea F.C. this is especially worrying, as their new coach
Antonio Conte is busy managing the Italian football team insteadof preparing his future team for the upcoming season. Not to
worry, the club is well on its way to sealing important newtransfers, and retaining future young prospects this upcoming
season.
Leonardo Bonucci
The first of Conte’s star transfers mayinclude Italian-back Leonardo
Bonucci. Conte is all too familiar withthe Italian national, having coachedhim in both international and club
play. The Metro reports that Bonucciand his representatives have agreed
upon a £130,000-a-week contractwith Chelsea, however have not
formally bought the player from SerieA giants Juventus. Chelsea is
expected to offer a whopping £32million in hopes Juventus will beconvinced to sell the 29-year-old
center back.
Alvaro Morata
Real Madrid has decided to useMorata’s buy-back clause in Morata’scontract and is certainly expecting ahefty sum for the Spanish talent. Outof the three Premier league teams –
Chelsea, Arsenal, and ManchesterUnited – currently competing for theplayer, it seems that Chelsea is the
only team with the financial flexibilityto pay for the hefty £60million sumMadrid is asking for. Morata remainsone of Europe’s finest young talents,
and is even reported to be scouted bynone other than Chelsea owner,
Roman Abramovich.
Kalidou Koulibaly (?)
Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly isone of Conte’s top targets to fit intoChelsea jersey this coming season.
However Napoli has surprisinglyrefused to cooperate with the club,
rejecting a whopping £19.2million offerfor the player. The Serie A club wants
at least £11m more for the centre-back, and will continue to reject anyother offers failing to meet that sum.
Andreas Christensen
Quite the contrary to Koulibaly’s case,Chelsea is refusing to transfer young
talent Andreas Christensen. Accordingto the Daily Mail, Christensen has beenon loan to the Bundesliga as part of a
two year agreement with BorrusiaMonchengladbach. The German sideis emphatic to keep the Danish centerin their ranks, however the 20-year old
is seen as Chelsea’s naturalreplacement to John Terry.
Monchengladbach’s administrationhowever is “ready to make a record
transfer [for the player].”
Paul Pogba (?)
Noise is being made around theChelsea camp as more and more
rumors are connecting the club witharguably the world’s best young
player, Paul Pogba. Antonio Conte,who also coached the young talent in
Juventus, could play a determiningrole in the chance to see Pogba fit into
the “Blues” jersey this upcomingseason. However no offers on behalfof the club have been made, and thefrench international continues to be
tempted by other clubs.
