Chelsea transfer news: The latest Blues briefing of all the headlines coming out of the summer window with updates on Mateo Kovacic and Moises Caicedo.
Welcome to the football.london transfer briefing. To help you keep on top of all things Chelsea going on in the market we've got the latest noises coming from social media, journalists and so-called ITKs, rounding up what's what in the world of the Blues.
Chelsea 'agree' Mateo Kovacic transfer
Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City for £34million ($43.5million) according to a report. The Croatian has just over 12 months left on his deal that was signed in 2019 after completing a permanent move to Stamford Bridge for £40million ($51.2m).
Pep Guardiola has long been an admirer of the former Real Madrid and Inter man and has seemingly found a deal that benefits all parties.
Moises Caicedo pact
Roberto De Zerbi informed Moises Caicedo that he could leave Brighton this summer as early as February, says Fabrizio Romano. The Ecuador midfielder is expected to be sold by the Seagulls this summer with Chelsea in prime position now to make the 21-year-old their statement signing.
They are now said to be progressing with talks with Caicedo and are close to agreeing personal terms. There is still a distance to go to reach such a stage with the club themselves over a price, though. Chelsea have already seen a £70million ($89.7m) bid rejected for him in January and have been initially given a massive £100million ($124m) valuation for him.
Romano says that Todd Boehly and Co are 'hopeful' of negotiating that fee down but it will take time to find a middle ground with Tony Bloom.
football.london says: Brighton are tough to work with and are stubborn in their approach to selling players but Chelsea themselves drive a hard bargain and can hardly complain. They are attempting to buy one of the best young midfielders on the planet from a team that have just had the best season in their history, they can count themselves lucky that it now looks to be a one-horse race.
Who should Chelsea keep or sell this summer? Have your say below!

caicedo for 100m😂😂😂, he can't even give a proper through pass.. EPL is being ridiculous with player hype. FDJ, zubimendi, amrabat , casemiro , Guimaraes would offer way more than this guy in any team in the world. EPL valuation of players is bunkers
Who said only the EPL overprices their players. Benfica charged £126m for Félix, €105m for Enzo and so on.
