Chelsea have signed bargain – Blues officially open talks to sign megastar – World class star completes medical

Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you may have missed –

CHELSEA have reportedly opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a move for Neymar.

It is widely expected that the club will delve into that transfer kitty at the end of the season and add a few more players to the squad – and Neymar has been linked with a move to London.

The Brazilian star is being heavily tipped to leave PSG after reports emerged which claimed that the French giants are now looking to offload Neymar in order to balance the books

Neymar is tied to a long-term contract at Parc des Princes, but form and fitness issues continue to generate plenty of transfer talk. CHELSEA are one of the only clubs that can afford to buy him, and now Following the news of Lionel Messi’s expected exit, fans of the Parisians arrived outside Neymar’s house to protest.

Because of that incident, as per ESPN , the 31-year-old is said to be thinking about leaving the club this summer which will likely place Chelsea and Todd Boehly on high alert.

Now – according to new reports in France, Chelsea have now also officially opened talks with PSG over a move for Neymar.

Neymar is a brand – he is a world class player that can beat anybody on his day.

But he is injury prone – he is dramatic and he will bring alot of drama to the club – and that is why Chelsea should not buy the man.

He isnt the star that will score 20-30 or 40 goals a season – CHELSEA will be lucky if they get 10 out of him.

It could be a waste of space by signing the Brazilian – the Premier League is not the place for him to be.

Kante passes medical – 

CHELSEA star N’Golo Kante has reportedly completed his medical tests ahead of his move to Al-Ittihad, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Kante has been such a brilliant player for Chelsea ever since he arrived at the club all those seasons ago  -but over the past 12 months he has been plagued by injuries.

It has impacted how much game time he has received at Chelsea – and also impacted his ability to get the kind of deal that he desires to stay at Stamford Bridge.

However, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr have identified Kante as a potential signing and were in talks with the player’s agents ahead of a summer transfer to Saudi Arabia.

But now it seems that Al-Ittihad have won the race for the midfielder – Fabrizio Romano Twwted: ‘N’Golo Kanté to Al Ittihad, here we go! #CFC

‘Medical tests completed in London.

‘ 2 year deal with an option for further season.

‘€100m per season salary — figure includes image rights, commercial deals and ‘creative’ portfolio.’

Despite his injury issues – Kante is still one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League and many Chelsea fans would be very sad to see him depart the club.

But at this stage of his career – if he cannot get the terms that he desires – then a move away may be the best thing for him.

However – saying that – a move to Saudi Arabia is not what he should be making – there have been some big clubs in Europe that are keen on the man – so he should have stayed at the top of the game.

Paez a bargain – 

CHELSEA have landed themselves a bargain after confirming the signing of South American wonderkid Kendry Paez.

Since the arrival of Ted Boehly at the club last summer – the Club have been spending some serious money on some of the best young talents in the game right now.

It is clear that the American has a long-term plan at Stamford Bridge and has made sure that Chelsea have beaten off their rivals for those talents – and it seems that they have once again done it with the possible signing of Paez.

It is believed that the midfielder could cost the Blues around £20m – with any potential fee set to rise depending on his performances up to his 18th birthday.

Now, Paez’s club Independiente del Valle have confirmed Chelsea will actually pay less for him.

“Because of what the country is experiencing, I would not dare to give the amounts for the transfer of Kendry Paez to Chelsea,” he told Mach Deportes.

“But it is not the $20 million that is being talked about, it’s a smaller amount.”

Chelsea fans will not get to see the lad make the move OFFICIALLY for a number of seasons – which is a shame – but hopefully he will not get forgotten about and lost in that CHELSEA system when he does arrive at the club.

It is a massive decision from the lad, as it could make or break his career in the Premier League.’

But if he is able to adapt to the English way – the Premier League and the pessures of playing for a club like Chelsea – he could be a very exciting signing for the fans to watch

This is a big move for him to make – we all hope that it is the right one to make
