Welcome to our football.London CareFree Chelsea daily news round-up. Maybe not the first, we've definitely done transfer round-ups before, and European round-ups, so I guess in some ways it's not that new at all.
Anyway, we thought we would enter the world of football in a broad and roundabout manner for you and have some fun with some of the stories and captions doing the daily round.
Antonio Rudiger Madrid bound
The Telegraph have reported that Antonio Rudiger is inching closer to joining Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season after not agreeing to a new deal with Chelsea.
Speaking on the London Is Blue podcast. The Telegraphs football writer Matt law expanded on the situation saying, “Real Madrid are not offering Antonio Rudiger £400,000 a week.
“But what they can offer him is a signing on fee on top of his weekly wage. That makes the total package worth near £400,000 a week. That's what Chelsea are up against.”
Our take: When will this situation be over… thinks every Chelsea fan.
Chelsea show interest in summer free agent
Newcastle are looking to spend big with a new cash flow influx that’s come with new owners. They might need to as well because they currently sit second from bottom in the relegation zone.
One of their many targets is said to be Marseille midfielder, Boubacar Kamara. But, Manchester United and Chelsea are also reported to be interested in the 22-year-old.
He will be a free agent at the end of the season and could help keep the cost down for a midfielder boost next year.
Our take: We do need a midfielder as we’ve seen many times this season that we can often be guilty of overplaying N’Golo Kante and Jorginho who are now starting to pick up injuries too.
John Terry returns to Chelsea
Former Blues defender and English international John Terry is set to return to Chelsea to help develop the youth system, according to The Athletic.
They’ve reported that after leaving his role as assistant head coach at Aston Villa, Terry showed an interest in various roles in the English top two divisions, but was “politely let down”. Now he’s looking to return to Chelsea on a part-time basis to develop the youth side of the club.
Our take: Seems like the right way to start a coaching career, work your way from the bottom up. Developing the youth system at Chelsea will give him exactly that.
