Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea transfer news and gossip that we think you guys may have missed today –

Barcelona are reportedly willing to let Chelsea target Raphinha leave if they can sign Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as a replacement

During his time with Barcelona – Raphinha established himself as one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier League and a man that was destined to play at the very highest level of the game.

The Brazil international bid farewell to the Premier League when completing a big-money transfer from Leeds to Camp Nou in the summer of 2022, and had hoped to take that next step in his development.

He has shown glimpses of what he is capable of while in Catalunya, with 20 goals recorded in over 80 appearances, but has not been the hit that many would have hoped, which has led to alot of speculation in the media.

Several European clubs have been closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s performances and after his recent success, a Premier League club submitted a €60 million bid for the player, according to recent reports.

Fichajes.net recently claimed Al Nassr, CHELSEA and Arsenal are the three big clubs that are competing for the signing of Raphinha, with the Blues leading the race for the Brazilian star.

Now, Mundo Deportivo claims while Barca value Raphinha a lot, they may sacrifice him for Diaz, if they can lure the Colombian away from Anfield.

Since Diaz signed for Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37m ($47m), he has scored 24 goals and bagged 13 assists in 98 matches in all competitions.

Look, there will be alot of rumours over the next few months about the future of Raphinha and to be honest – he probably will leave Barcelona. But is he the type of player that the board like to buy?

Barca wants Diaz – he will not leave Liverpool – so will they still sell?

CHELSEA GET ALVAREZ BOOST –

It has been claimed that the camp of Julien Alvarez is open to the idea of leaving Man City, which will alert the likes of Chelsea.

Chelsea have been one of the most impressive and entertaining sides to watch in the Premier League over the past few seasons, and are a side that will be competing for the big titles in the coming seasons.

But there is already talk in the media about who the Blues could sign in the coming transfer window to help improve the side just a little bit more – with a number of players linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

It is no secret that Enzo Maresca will be looking to add a new striker to that CHELSEA attack in the coming transfer window – as Nicolas Jackson are simply not scoring the amount of goals that he needs.

Recent reports have claimed that Julián Alvarez will leave Manchester City, as the decision was made by his camp that they would be open to the idea of listening to offers this summer.

Guardiola may only have one more season in the Premier League but knows that he needs to sign a few more players that will once again help beat off the attentions of Arsenal.

Now reports Gaston Edul from Argentina says that Man City do not want to sell the striker – but his camp will listen to offers: “Manchester City don’t want to sell him. The Argentine forward’s camp will listen to offers and if there’s something will talk to City.”

Alvarez has been a very good back-up option for Erling Haaland – he does a decent job for Man City on a regular basis – so the news that he could be sold this transfer window is a surprise.

He is quality – but not really the right man to lead that CHELSEA attack.

CHELSEA SIGN ADARABIOYO –

Tosin Adarabioyo is excited after it was announced that he would be joining Chelsea this summer.

Ever since the news broke over the last few months of the season that Adarabioyo would be leaving Fulham – there has been so much speculation and rumours surrounding the defender.

It was believed that a move to Newcastle was going to happen – the Toon were leading the chase for Tosin – they were ready to meet his demands and to be honest – it seemed that Chelsea were not interested.

However after swooping in late to get the man all signed up – The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract – which begins on July 1 – and arrives from west London neighbours Fulham.

He has gone on to make 45 top-flight appearances since Fulham’s return to the Premier League, helping the Cottagers finish tenth and 13th respectively in the past two seasons

After signing for the Blues, Tosin said: ‘CHELSEA is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there.

‘I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.’7

Adarabioyo is a very good and solid defender that many are hoping is able to play at such a big club like Chelsea – this is a massive step up from playing at Fulham that is for sure.

He will need time to get used to his new surroundings – the boss and the fact that he is playing with some of the best players in the Premier League – and if he is able to handle that pressure – he will be a very good signing for CHELSEA.
