Transfer News LIVE - Every rumour, every done deal: Gyokeres-Arsenal SOON, Sesko OFFERED to Man Utd

Chelsea have spent over €1.5 billion on transfers since Todd Boehly took the helm at Stamford Bridge - a strategy that has earned the club plenty of critics.

But, Boehly took the opportunity to hit back at those critics after the Blues defeated Paris Saint-Germain to win the Club World Cup.

“We're big believers, we knew all along in the value of the project," he told talkSPORT.

“So I think, obviously, it came together brilliantly, and those are just odds that you can't predict. But we're hopeful that every day we wake up, the odds are that Chelsea are going to win something big. I think the boys have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with, and I think that's what we were hoping for.”

Bayern Munich have made an improved bid for Luis Diaz.

The German giants want a top signing for their left wing after Leroy Sane left on a free transfer, and Diaz is now their number one target after Nico Williams signed a new contract at Athletic Club.

David Ornstein reports that thet have bid €67.5m million for the Colombian, though that is expected to be rejected by Liverpool, who want €100m.

Three big clubs are interested in signing Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea.

The striker has fell down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro so could be set for a summer departure.

Sky Sports reports that Man Utd, Aston Villa and Milan want to sign Jackson, however it is highly unlikely that any club will meet Chelsea's reported €100 million valuation.

Benfica want Joao Felix back and are locked in talks with Chelsea over the Portuguese attacker.

Felix has failed to live up to expectations since his huge money transfer to Atletico Madrid, while subsequent moves to Barcelona, Chelsea and Milan have been disastrous.

The player himself wants to return to Portugal as he previously told reporters: "The whole world knows that Benfica is my favourite team. It's my home. One day I will return. I don't know if it's now or in a few years, but if it were now I would be very happy. There are two options: either I stay in England or I return to Benfica."

However, Benfica aren't willing to meet Chelsea's €40 million asking price. (A Bola)

Arsenal want to sign Eberechi Eze, but aren't looking to trigger his £68 million (€78m) release clause.

This summer, the Gunners have already signed Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga, while they are reportedly on the cusp of adding Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera to their squad.

Eze is a target, too, but Arsenal want to pay for the Crystal Palace midfielder over time rather than an up-front payment. (talkSPORT)

Benoit Badiashile has confirmed that he will remain at Chelsea next season.

The Frenchman was a fringe player at Stamford Bridge in 2024/25 and has been linked with a move away this summer, with former club Monaco said to be interested. But, he has confirmed his immediate future is with the Blues.

“Yes, I’ll still be at Chelsea next season,” he told Foot Mercato following his side’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 Club World Cup final.

“The club, the coach, and all the staff give me a lot of confidence and believe in me. I will do everything to give back to them on the pitch. I love the club, the city, and the supporters.”
