🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO! Verbal agreement in place between all parties, player too — he’s the left back wanted by Mourinho. Details to follow. Cucurella leaves #CFC and joins Madrid after World Cup. ⚪️🇪🇸

🚨🇯🇵 Understand Jürgen Klopp is on the verge of appointing Narcis Pelach as the new head coach of RB Omiya Ardija in Japan. Klopp led the process to bring in the coach who will join the RBA group club on a 2 year contract.

🚨 Tyrique George is expected to be sold permanently. (@SJohnsonSport) #CFC

Zubimendi is a waste of funds. £60M for the "new Jorginho" is not a good thing whatsoever The board will forever be content with T4 and a decent cup run at this rate.

🚨🔵 EXCL | Tyrique George has been told he will not be going out on loan this summer, and the decision came directly from Alonso. The 19-year-old attacker was expected to follow the standard Chelsea academy-to-loan pipeline. Alonso ended that conversation before it could begin. He watched George’s cup appearances from this season and told Cobham staff the winger has “an unusual understanding of space for his age.” George will be in first-team training from day one of preseason. He won’t start Premier League matches immediately. But Alonso wants him in the environment, absorbing the system. Another Leverkusen principle applied at Chelsea, develop from within, in-house, under direct supervision. George’s representatives are quietly thrilled. #CFC

Enzo Fernández to Chelsea fans. 👋🏼

Defeat at the Stadium of Light. #CFC | #SUNCHE

My Hot take Jorrel Hato is not better than Josh Achempong. Play josh CB instead of RB or RCB instead of RWB and the sky is the limit.

Jorrel Hato. The premier young LCB/LB in Europe.

kind of excited for next season ngl💙

🚨 Pep Guardiola to leave position as Manchester City manager at end of this season. 55yo Spaniard departing after trophy-laden decade & set to be replaced by Enzo Maresca. No official confirmation yet from #MCFC. W/ @SamLee @TheAthleticFC after @MailSport nytimes.com/athletic/6269334…

🚨 Sources state Xabi Alonso’s arrival has prompted a wider reassessment of several key positions within the Chelsea squad, and one major priority now emerging is the signing of a more experienced goalkeeper. Mike Penders is NO longer on course to become the club’s number one next season. Xabi Alonso has shortlisted SIX goalkeepers to replace Robert Sanchez: 🔹 AC Milan’s Mike Maignan 🔹 Everton’s Jordan Pickford 🔹 Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi 🔹 FC Porto’ Diogo Costa 🔹 Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen 🔹 Sunderland’s Robin Roefs (via @GraemeBailey)

Calum McFarlane, Ben Roberts and Bernado Cueva will all stay on as part of Xabi Alonso’s coaching staff. They will be joined by assistant manager Sebas Parrilla, Alberto Encinas, Beñat Labaien and Ismael Camenforte Lopez.🔵

26/27 MIGHT be the first time since 16/17 Pochettino, Conte, Mourinho, Pep, Klopp, Wenger that all the big 6 had good managers
