Maresca’s explanation of making eight changes to his Chelsea team tonight

Maresca: “Andrey is working well, he needs to understand the way we play, it’s also the same for all the new guys. It’s important for the new ones to continue the way they’re working” (DAZN) thanks to @cfcpys.bsky.social We will see…

Eh?

Jamie Gittens proposed move to Chelsea could be done imminently, both clubs are continuing talks and hope an agreement can be reached swiftly, despite Bayern interest. Gittens favours a move to Chelsea. Via @david-ornstein.bsky.social

🗣️ Liam Delap on his #CFC move. “I came here to score goals and help the team as much as possible… I'm aggressive. I like to battle with the defenders. I'm fast. I'm a good finisher, so hopefully I am exciting to watch."

🆕Why Dario Essugo is crucial to take the pressure off Moises Caicedo, especially as Chelsea re-enter the Champions League. The 20-year-old is most looking forward to playing with Caicedo but is aware he will be understudy to the Player of the Season. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Hey, old friend. Still sexy #LAFC #CFC

Late to the party but I dig it:

Djordje Petrovic asked to be left out of #Chelsea's Club World Cup squad after making it clear he wants to focus on his future this summer. Per @matt-law-dt.bsky.social This aligns with report of him wanting to remain a #1, and maybe we told him no guarantees? Some truth/some brief

🚨🚫 João Félix, Djordje Petrovic, Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi, Ben Chilwell, Kendry Páez, Renato Veiga remain out of Chelsea squad for FIFA Club World Cup. Wesley Fofana remains at Cobham due to injury.

🚨🇪🇨 Kendry Páez will join Strasbourg on loan deal from Chelsea as he won’t be included in FIFA Club World Cup squad. Plan confirmed for Páez to have more game time and then return to Chelsea in one year.

🚨❌ Djordje Petrović will be left out of Chelsea squad for FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea plan is not to bring any player out on loan during the season, apart from Andrey Santos. Decision made for Petrovic, as @Matt_Law_DT reports.

Time has almost run out for Chelsea to sign Gittens today. Chelsea will try again after window reopens next Monday. They will not overpay for Gittens. They know Dortmund will sell the player this summer and he wants to move to Chelsea. Per @skykaveh.bsky.social

On a lighter note: check out another great @cfccentral.bsky.social breakdown on Essugo. Clapping the ref red card 😂 😬

Gittens stays for now. Chelsea failed to find an agreement with Dortmund prior to the CWC. @ChristianWoop Personally, I’m not worried about either deal but regardless: When will the directors and PR team stop using the media for these negotiations? The lesson has not been learned.

Someone at Chelsea's got a sense of humour! 😂 While #CFC make a mess of their attempt to sign a new goalkeeper, #CFCW quietly add another shot-stopper to their ranks in Livia Peng. 🧤⚽️ No fuss, just business.

🚨🔵 The negotiations between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens are underway. €50m proposal on the table with clubs discussing conditions to be improved in order to make it happen before Deadline. Chelsea are on it.

🚨🆕 Understand Borussia Dortmund have immediately rejected the second offer for Jamie #Gittens, worth 50 million euros! Dortmund want more! #CFC @skysportde.bsky.social via Plettenberg

🚨🔵 Chelsea have submitted new official bid for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Borussia Dortmund right now. €50m proposal on the table after €35m bid rejected, as @FabriceHawkins reports. Chelsea will try to get it done today; otherwise they will keep negotiating after the deadline.

Chelsea goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe is expected to sign a new deal and go on loan rather than act as a third choice option. Reportedly close to joining Bolton, currently with England's Under-21s. All our updates on Maignan, Gittens etc in our deadline day live www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

EXCL: Mike Maignan deal now OFF between Chelsea and AC Milan. ❌🇫🇷 Chelsea not willing to meet Milan price, deal not proceeding in time for Club World Cup as #CFC won’t pay “CWC tax”. #CFC mantain full trust in Petrović, Sánchez, Jorgensen + talent Mike Penders for GK role. @fabriziorom.bsky.social

Maignan update: sources close to the club 🔴⚫️ say that the desire is to obtain more than 21 million from the sale of Maignan. Contacts with Chelsea will continue this morning while waiting for a definitive response. Mike wants the 🔵 Per Daniele Longo #CFC Milan clearly playing hard ball…

Spend way too much time telling us how important MM is for the manager to bottle this.

Chelsea have raised the offer to €21million for Mike Maignan.

1 week to go:

#CFC’s U-21 striker Donnell McNeilly has rejected a new contract and is planning to leave this summer. Has interest from a number of clubs, inc. PL, but priority is best pathway for senior minutes. More here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/641...

Chelsea and Milan are in constant contact to advance in the Mike Maignan deal. @MatteMoretto #CFC

🚨🔵 Marcus Bettinelli, set to leave Chelsea and join Manchester City as new 3rd goalkeeper following Carson’s exit. The deal is almost done, as @mcgrathmike reported today.

🚨🔵 AC Milan and Chelsea are again in direct contact today for Mike Maignan to discuss terms of the deal. Maignan remains keen on joining Chelsea with player pushing for the deal to happen, but up to the clubs now.

Chelsea are making a strong push for Gittens over the next few hours. The club’s board rate him very highly, and I can reveal they had a verbal offer turned down back in January. (@FabrizioRomano @podcastherewego) #CFC

🚨 new bid for Jamie Gittens is incoming. Chelsea want to try to be fast, I’ll give you details soon but, it will include add ons to try strike an agreement. Chelsea held talks today with Dortmund. Joe Shields again is doing a special job in this. reported by @CFCPys per Fab #CFC

Missed this tidbit earlier today #CFC #Maignan

Understand Bayern still retain an interest in Christopher Nkunku. Chelsea forward expected to depart this summer. Valued at £60m+ back in January when Bayern last enquired. @jacobsben.bsky.social #CFC

Dimarzio 15 million rejected by #CFC for #Maignan. At 20 million pounds the deal can be unblocked.

Early morning Fab 🚨🔵 EXCL: Chelsea submit bid for Mike Maignan worth €15m as final decision will be up to AC Milan. Chelsea want to get final answer on Maignan negotiations by the end of Club World Cup window on Tuesday. #CFC @fabriziorom.bsky.social

Time is running out for Mike Maignan because from my understanding, Chelsea are not going to wait longer than 24/48 hours, because they want him for the CWC. It’s up to Milan to accept Chelsea conditions or not. I give it a 45% chance, as of tonight. (@FabrizioRomano on @DAZN) #CFC

❗️🔵 Chelsea are still considering signing Hugo Ekitike this summer and negotiations ongoing with player's camp. 🔹Contact has therefore not been broken off, even though the deal has not progressed. ➡️ Frankfurt still asking €100m for the French striker. Per Fabrice Hawkins
