All the latest Chelsea transfer news in one place, including updates on Xavi Simons, Jorrel Hato and Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea set for Simons talks
Chelsea are set to open talks with RB Leipzig for versatile attacker Xavi Simons, who is said to be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge after initial contact with the Blues earlier this week.
Simons is understood to be available for less than the €80 million price initially touted at the start of the summer transfer window, with Leipzig now willing to accept a lower fee.
It remains to be seen if Chelsea can strike a deal with the Bundesliga side as it is thought that the Premier League giants first have to complete some sales.
Chelsea make new Hato enquiry
Chelsea have restarted talks with Ajax wonderkid Jorrel Hato after already enquiring about his availability earlier this summer. The Blues are keen to add a defender before the window closes.
Chelsea have yet to discuss a potential deal with Ajax, but the Blues are expected to advance in their talks with Hato to see if a move to Stamford Bridge is possible.
Mamadou Sarr, Caleb Wiley and Renato Veiga are expected to leave the club, so Chelsea are looking to add a new left-sided defender.
Chelsea to sell four
Chelsea are aiming to raise as much as €163m from the sales of Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Christopher Nkunku and Renato Veiga this summer.
The Blues need to finish the window with a positive balance to be able to register new players for the Champions League, so several stars will have to be offloaded.
Felix has been in talks over a return to Benfica, while Veiga has agreed terms with Atletico Madrid. Nkunku has interest from Man Utd, Bayern and Inter and a Champions League side is said to be keen on Sterling.
Jackson wants Premier League stay
Nicolas Jackson is keen to remain in the Premier League and has rejected approaches from Serie A giants AC Milan and Napoli.
The Senegal striker is facing an uncertain future at Chelsea, with the Blues willing to listen to offers for him.
However, Jackson is expected to be hugely expensive, which is why admirers Man Utd are not expected to bid for him unless his price drops.
Chelsea eye Rogers swap
Chelsea are reportedly willing to trade players in a bid to sign Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
The Blues are said to be open to sending Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah to Villa Park to sweeten the deal.
Rogers was expected to be sold heading into this summer, but Unai Emery is keen to retain the England international.
