Your morning Chelsea transfer round-up on Sunday, June 18.
Kane enquiry
Chelsea still seem keen to sign Harry Kane this summer despite having wrapped up a deal for Nicolas Jackson. The Tottenham striker faces an increasingly uncertain future in north London with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.
According to The Athletic, Manchester United are hoping to sign Kane as a free agent once his contract expire next summer after being priced out of a bid by Daniel Levy.

It's said that Chelsea have enquired about possibly reuniting Kane with Pochettino, though Tottenham regard dealing with their London rivals as 'impossible'.

Valverde verdict
Federico Valverde has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer despite reported interest from Chelsea and Liverpool. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League following the addition of Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti will be treated to a wealth of midfield options next season, with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni also pushing for places in the starting lineup. As a result, Valverde has faced a somewhat uncertain future at Real Madrid recently, but he's admitted that he has no plans to leave.
"No, no – I’m at Madrid, trying to enjoy every moment and leave my mark on the best club in the world," the Uruguay international told ESPN Argentina. "I want to keep winning titles for Real Madrid fans."

The 23-year-old defender has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge recently as Mauricio Pochettino looks to trim down a bloated squad. While Chalobah has impressed when called upon, he seems to face an uncertain future at his boyhood club.
It's said that the defender's versatility is a major selling point and the Nerazzurri believe their formation and play-style will suit him. With the European Championships next year, Chalobah wants to challenge for a place in Gareth Southgate's squad – so game time is his priority.
