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

Brazilian winger and long-term CHELSEA target Raphinha revealed that he has no plan to leave Barcelona before his existing contract expires in June 2027, which will not come as welcome news to all the chasing Premier League clubs that are reportedly interested in a deal for the Brazilian.

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, but has not been the hit that many would have hoped, which has led to alot of speculation in the media that he was a player the club would be open to letting go in the coming transfer windows.

However – Raphinha revealed that he has no plan to leave Barcelona before his existing contract expires in June 2027 – Speaking to reporters, the attacker said, “I have a contract with Barcelona and my intention is to fulfil it.

‘I’m happy and I know what I can offer. I’m very proud to wear Barcelona’s captain’s armband. It’s an honour.”

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?

They have a long-term plan and although Raphinha is only 28-years of age – he may be too old for their future goals – which would be a shame as he is quality, as we have just said.

So even though CHELSEA will constantly be linked with a move for the man over the next few months, he has made his intentions clear right?

PALMER MOVE TO ARRIVE –

Graeme Souness ‘would not be surprised’ if Real Madrid made a stunning £150m bid for Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who has become one of the best attackers in the Premier League over the past couple of seasons.

The highly talented 22-year-old attacking midfielder, has rapidly made a name for himself at CHELSEA since his move from Manchester City in 2023 and is the man at Stamford Bridge that Enzo Maresca will really rely on over the next 12 months.

He has recently signed a massive new contract at Chelsea – but Whether he actually stays at Chelsea for a decade remains to be seen and Souness believes he could emerge as a target for Real Madrid next summer.

‘I’m sure there are other players Man City could have cashed in on,’ Souness told the Daily Mail.

‘Chelsea paid £40m for Palmer but if Real Madrid come knocking next summer and he is still at the level he is showing, I would not be surprised if they got an offer of £150m for him.

‘He’s a young man, so we’re going early on this call, but if this is Palmer’s level and he can be consistently this good, he’s going to be a top man.

‘He has got silky skills, athleticism and a fabulous football brain. There’s simply nothing to dislike about him. He’s 22. At that age, no one ought to be that good.

‘I like his temperament, too. You can read a lot into a player from their reaction when they score, and Palmer doesn’t go mad when he finds the net.

‘He seems to have a really sensible head and he looks to have had a really good football education – which you would expect at the modern Manchester City.’

That massive new contract that Palmer has just signed means that Chelsea do not have to sell the midfielder – and we fully expect him to stay at the Bridge for the next few seasons – but if CHELSEA dont win trophies, then he may push for a move away.

DAVIES TO LEAVE FOR FREE?

Bayern Munich have accepted that Alphonso Davies could leave the club on a free, amid Chelsea and Real Madrid links.

Alphonso Davies is a player that has the ability to play in a number of positions, and has been on the radar of CHELSEA FC for quite a few seasons, but they have never been able to get a transfer deal done.

However Davies is open to leaving Bayern Munich in the coming transfer windows, a year before his contract expires, and Bayern are open to letting him leave the club.

According to Sky Sports Germany, the Bavarian giants have acknowledged that Davies may leave as a free agent in the summer of 2025 if no agreement is reached, as the two parties have not yet found common ground on a contract extension

The German giants have reportedly give the defender an ultimatum over a contract extension – which has not kept his agents happy – and it seemed that a move away from the club may be on the cards for the star,

It is no secret that Enzo Maresca will need to add add a bit more experience to the side when the transfer window opens up and would like to add a proven – versatile and world class player like Davies to the side.

Madrid may not be open to the idea of paying that amount for the defender in January – but CHELSEA are and if they do manage to get a transfer deal done for the player – he could be a brilliant signing for the Blues.

There will be a chance for the Blues to get a deal done for the man in January – and Chelsea would be foolish to not make an offer.
