Enzo Fernandez raises Chelsea transfer alarm as PSG plot shock $87m hijack

Chelsea transfer news: The latest Blues media briefing with reaction to stories on Dusan Vlahovic, Kylian Mbappe and Paulo Dybala.

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.

Enzo Fernandez talks transfers

Having played with Dybala for Argentina, Fernandez is well placed to offer his stance on the player and didn't shy away when questioned on the subject. "Yes, I saw something about that," he said.

"We’ll see. I hope he comes. I talked to him and told him that I’m waiting for him to share a barbecue or something. I need someone to share the matés."

As well as that, Dybala's ability to play across the frontline makes him a valuable and flexible option. His goalscoring and output across his career has been such that for a small fee like the one on offer, even given a tainted fitness history might not stop this from being a deal that represents value for money.

Whilst there is reason to believe that it could absolutely be an inspired transfer, Chelsea would be better off pursuing others at this stage and if Dybala is there and still signable on the cheap come that stage, could be a useful bargain.

PSG plan Vlahovic option

Paris Saint-Germain are contemplating a bid for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as they explore alternatives to Kylian Mbappe with the Frenchman expected to leave in the next 12 months.

The Serbian is just one of the names being looked at by the French side as they prepare themselves for the departure of their prized asset, who's contract ends in 2024. Mbappe told PSG earlier this year that he would not be extending his deal beyond next summer and it has opened up the chances of an early exit.

football.london says: PSG spending big again, is it? We only say that with slight irony after Chelsea spent £600million ($770m) on transfers across two windows, but it would be a big blow were Vlahovic to be taken off the market.

He is one of the more balanced options available due to a £67million ($87m) asking price, proven goalscoring record and experience at the top level. His age also makes him a more likely candidate for the striker spot at Chelsea.
