Chelsea news: £200 million man told to sign or leave – Chelsea to award Brazilian contract – Gnabry given the go-ahead
Chelsea's pursuit of Serge Gnabry has received a boost – Asensio has been told to sign a new contract or leave, and Chelsea will offer a contract to Marquinhos in the Chelsea roundup...
Christopher Nkunku of RB Leipzig has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Serge Gnabry, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea.
Since leaving the Premier League, the former Arsenal and West Brom winger, 26, has emerged as one of Europe's hottest properties, scoring 59 goals and assisting 44 for Bayern.
During that time, they have won three Bundesliga titles, two DFB-Pokals, and the Champions League, but despite becoming a major force,
There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding his future as a member of the club's setup.
Gnabry is in the final 15 months of his contract, and the Bundesliga club wants to keep him long term, but Bayern has so far failed to meet his price demands, which are expected to be in excess of £300,000 per week.
According to Sport 1, the Germans are now looking into potential replacements for the German star if a new contract cannot be reached.
According to reports, Nkunku could join Bayern if the club can match Leipzig's €70 million (£59 million/$77 million) asking price during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea would benefit from having a player like Gnabry in their lineup, but if he does leave the Bundesliga giants, which we believe he will not, We are an excellent fit for him if he wants to play Champions League football and compete for the biggest trophies.
However, there is a lot of interest in the man as the summer transfer window approaches, so we'll have to wait and see who he chooses if he decides to leave Bayern during that window.
Chelsea target Marco Asensio is reportedly contemplating his future at Real Madrid after learning that he will need to sign a new contract or be sold during the summer transfer window.
The Spaniard has fallen down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu, and according to Defensa Central, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing him.
Chelsea is said to have made contact with Real Madrid and Throughout the last couple of transfer windows, I've asked if they'd be interested in letting the attacker leave the Bernabeu, but I've been turned down.
The club is currently undergoing a takeover, and players are unable to sign contracts, but there is speculation that the new owners will be willing to spend large sums of money to rebuild the roster.
According to Sport, Bernabeu officials have told the 26-year-old Spanish winger that he must sign a new long-term contract by the end of June or risk being transferred.
Asensio does not want to leave the Spaniards, but he is considering his options at the Santiago Bernabeu and would consider a move to the Premier League if the opportunity presented itself.
Arsenal and Liverpool, and Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United have all been linked with a move for the Spaniard, so they will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on his progress.
Chelsea are attempting to sign PSG star Marquinhos, with reports claiming that Antonio Rudiger is set to leave the club and join Juventus.
The contract of the Chelsea defender expires at the end of the season, and while the club does not want him to leave, the Italian giants want him to lead their defense into a new era.
Their desire for him to eventually take over as the back line's pulse from club veteran Giorgio Chiellini is an added motivator, and rumours suggest Rudiger has already been offered a five-year contract worth around £5.5 million per season to persuade the athletic Germany centre-back.
This has led to speculation that we are looking for potential successors to the German, and Marquinhos has been on their radar for quite some time.
The 27-year-old has two years remaining on his contract in Paris and, according to L'Equipe, is no closer to reaching a new deal with his club.
Chelsea are said to be keeping a close eye on Marquinhos' situation at PSG and are ready to make an offer for the defender as soon as their new owners give the go-ahead.
However, the Brazilian defender allegedly wants a huge pay raise – currently estimated to be more than £250k per week – and it is unclear whether the new owners will be willing to pay that sum of money.
Marquinhos is a world-class defender who will be snapped up by a major club if he becomes available, so this one will be interesting to watch because he appears unwilling to leave PSG.
