Scott wants Chelsea

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is keen to join Chelsea, according to the Standard Sport.

The 22-year-old was the subject of a recent approach from Chelsea, with the club indicating that they would be ready to pay €64 million for him. However, this offer was rebuffed by Bournemouth, who do not want to sell this summer.

Unfortunately for the Cherries, Scott is desperate to join Chelsea. This may doom their chances of handing him a new long-term contract, with the player having already rejected multiple offers. However, Bournemouth are ready to go into the new season with him on his current terms.

Disasi price revealed

Chelsea want north of €30 million for forgotten defender Axel Disasi this summer, as per Ben Jacobs.

The Frenchman has been surplus to requirements for two seasons now and spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at West Ham. Disasi is expected to be sold this summer.

However, Chelsea's asking price may not be conducive to generating interest. AS Roma and AC Milan have enquired about Disasi, but it is doubtful that they would be willing to spend that much on the 28-year-old.

Guiu interest

Coventry City and several Spanish clubs are interested in Chelsea forward Marc Guiu, The Chelsea Chronicle claims.

The former Barcelona striker has struggled for minutes since joining Chelsea in 2024 and is expected to depart this summer, though it is not yet clear whether he will leave permanently or on loan.

Nicolas Jackson has returned to Chelsea, while Emmanuel Emegha has been signed, meaning that there is no place for Guiu in Xabi Alonso's plans. It is asserted that the Blues could demand as much as €30m to sell him.

No Palmer concerns

Chelsea have made it clear to Cole Palmer that he remains a cornerstone of their long-term project, TEAMtalk writes.

The England international has been the subject of exit rumours in recent months, and speculation has flared up again following the signing of his close friend Morgan Rogers, who is also an attacking midfielder.

However, Rogers prefers to play on the left, whereas Palmer operates on the right. Chelsea have no concerns over Palmer's game time following the signing of his compatriot, nor are there any doubts over his importance to the team.
