Covering: Chelsea closing in on De Ligt and Sterling, latest on Ake, Milinkovic-Savic, De Jong, Ronaldo, and Rice, plus news on pre-season, the tour, and my views on our transfer movements...
1. Chelsea is no longer a prime draw for top Barca loving players. Too many of them unfortunately.
2. Is Tuchel partly to blame for the turgid football on offer for top players?
3. Clearly a need for an experienced negotiator who knows European football and prices to strike deals over. Boehly is too green at this "dukawallah" game; he will get better.
As Raphina or Dembele are slowly fading as attacking acquisitions it appears who do you reckon are likely attacking targets (aside from Sterling) from information you are being told?
Morning mate, you too! Think we will genuinely see some positive movements this week. The 'fee agreed' for Sterling should be out today when the media finally catch up! 😅

Not had any other solid names yet, but told Raphinha is not over at all. TT wants him.
