Chelsea are hoping to use the summer to stamp their authority in the league and Europe next season.

Manager Thomas Tuchel failed to defend their Champions League trophy last season and only managed a third-place finish in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the Blues are ready to offer a Napoli defender €10 million per year to move to Stamford Bridge. Elsewhere, Petr Cech has promised a busy summer ahead for the Blues.
On that note, here's a look at the key Chelsea transfer stories as on June 12, 2022:
Chelsea willing to offer Kalidou Koulibaly €10 million per year

Chelsea are willing to hand Kalidou Koulibaly a deal worth €10 million per year this summer, according to Sport Witness via Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Senegalese defender has been a pillar at the back for Napoli, but his current contract is set to expire next summer. The 30-year-old currently earns €6 million per year, but the Serie A side are offering him a new deal worth only €4 million a year.
The Blues are ready to intervene and prise him away and are even willing to hand him a significant raise.
Koulibaly could earn approximately €190,000 per week should he agree to move to London. Napoli are likely to allow him to leave for €40 million, but Chelsea could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Barcelona for his signature.
Petr Cech promises busy summer ahead for Blues
Chelsea technical director Petr Cech says the club are preparing for a busy summer ahead. The Blues are likely to invest in the squad, with multiple areas in need of attention.
Speaking recently, Cech said that the London giants will attempt to be as strong as possible next season.
"I live on the phone! It will be a busy summer. We will plan, prepare and try to be as strong as we can next season. I think everybody knows where we are in terms of the team. Of course we will try to strengthen the team. We want to do the best possible and be ready to compete next season. It’s going to be a tough season with a World Cup in between, so we need to be ready for that," said Cech.
Cech reflected on Chelsea's 2021-22 campaign, saying that the club struggled to cope with COVID-19 at the tail end of last year.
"We won two major trophies, and we lost two finals on penalties, which was unfortunate. It’s true that we dropped points around November and December last season, when we struggled with Covid; this is where the difference was made, in my opinion. We hope we can avoid that and remain consistent and challenge everyone next season," said Cech.
Cech went on to heap praise on Thomas Tuchel for leading his team through the storm.
"He’s done an incredible job and last season he handled the whole situation very well and managed to pull his team through. I hope he can continue like that," said Cech.
Roberto Martinez says Romelu Lukaku just wants to feel important
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez says Romelu Lukaku just wants to feel important. The Chelsea striker has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge after a less than impressive 2021-22 campaign.
Speaking to the press, Martinez said that the 28-year-old is fully focused on recovering from injury.
"He wants to be important and enjoy his football. I’m sure the decision in the summer will be the right one. In Belgium, we are quite relaxed with Romelu’s situation. I know it is a big topic, but at the moment he is trying to recover from the injury and that’s the only thing he has in his mind.
He added:

Tuchel must change his philosophy of football if he really want to challenge City and Liverpool this season. Let’s play more attacking football, these lads are good for that…..hence, switch to 4231!! Sub: Gallagher Broja Pulisic Chalobah Kovacic

And why didn't you give that money to rudiger 😡??
Rudiger was asking for around £400,000 per week. you can't compare that with less than £190,000 for Koulibaly according to thos article.

That's all we will be on until we end up buying a player or players that does not suits our styles of play, trust me. Everyone is preparing their team by signing whosoever they want, and we're just sparkling players. Players in Europe are willing to play for our team, but our team is not willing to sign them. This alone can brake we the fans heart seriously.
