Chelsea transfer rumours: Milan Skriniar offered in N'Golo Kante swap, £22m Edouard Mendy deal

Chelsea's busy summer transfer window continues at pace.

With Ben Chilwell and Malang Sarr already having been announced as Blues players this week, Thiago Silva is also expected to confirm his move to Chelsea imminently.

Yet Frank Lampard's overhaul of his Stamford Bridge squad has not finished there, with a host of other players linked.

Here are the latest Chelsea transfer rumours.

Trio offered for Kante swap

Gazzetta dello Sport report that Inter Milan are willing to offer one three players in a swap deal for N'Golo Kante.

Inter boss Antonio Conte is desperate to be reunited with Kante at the San Siro but the Serie A side are unlikely to have the funds needed to sign the midfielder.

Instead, Inter have earmarked a trio of players as having the potential to be offered in a swap deal.

Lautaro Martinez, Milan Skriniar and Marcelo Brozovic have all been identified as maybe being of interest to the Blues.

The trio have already been made available to other clubs as Inter try to raise funds for new signings.

Inter move on from Emerson

Staying with Inter, they have reportedly moved on from targeting Emerson Palmieri.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Inter have opened talks to sign Aleksandar Kolarov from Roma as they look to bring a new left-back to the San Siro.

Inter had been interested in signing Palmieri but have been put off by Chelsea's asking price of €25M.

Edouard Mendy targetted

Sports Mole report that Chelsea are weighing up a move for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

The Senegal international kept nine clean sheets in 24 Ligue 1 games last season to help Rennes qualify for the Champions League for the first-time in their history.

With three years left to run on the 28-year-old's deal, the French club are in a strong negotiating position, however.

Chelsea are eying a £22m bid for the keeper but Rennes are holding out for a figure of £45m.
