This Tuesday marks the end of the transfer window for clubs participating in the FIFA club World Cup, which will take place from June 15 to July 13 in the United States. If some stables remained rather calm, others wanted to take advantage of this transfer window to bring some touch -ups. This is the case of Manchester City, who got hold of Rayan Aït-Nouri while waiting for Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Marcus Bettinelli. Chelsea wants to do the same and intends to put the package before tonight.

The residents of Stamford Bridge have already completed several files in recent days. Indeed, Liam Delap (€ 35 million, Ipswich Town), Mamadou Sarr (€ 20 million, Strasbourg) or Dario Essugo (€ 22 million, Sporting CP) have arrived. They shouldn't be the only ones. This is what the Londoners wish who push to complete signatures, especially that of Jamie Gittens (20, Borussia Dortmund). If an agreement in principle was reached between the winger and Chelsea on a 7 -year contract, it is however more complicated with the marsupials.

The latter refused a first proposal of around € 35 million. But The Athletic Explain that they want to receive € 60 million for their player under contract until 2028.

Chelsea has a few hours to unlock the situation. Later during the summer, the Londoners intend to get their hands on another winger or offensive element. The names of Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) and Mohammed Kudus (West Ham United) are cited by The Athletic. Finally, Chelsea is also experiencing big difficulties in completing the transfer of Mike Maignan, which was however imminent according to the Italian press a few days ago.

Despite Massimiliano Allegri's attempt to convince him to stay, the player wishes to join the Blues at all costs. But for the moment, it gets stuck. The English club offered € 15 million, when the Lombards want € 25 million. There Gazzetta dello Sport Indicates that everyone could take a step towards the other today by finding a less important offer with bonuses. For his part, Sky Sports explains that Chelsea, who does not want to put more than 15 M € for a 30 -year -old player at the end of the contract in a year, at AC Milan. The Rossoneri must accept their offer otherwise they will give up. THE Corriere della Serra concluded by adding that the player threatened to go free in a year if his club did not accept Chelsea's proposal. Business to follow …
