Chelsea reach full agreement with Ake
Chelsea have reached a full agreement with Ake on personal terms, according to Fabrizio Romano. City are said to be aware of the defender's eagerness to leave, though the Blues are yet to table a bid.
Pep Guardiola's side wanted between £40million and £50million for Ake, with the Premier League champions yet to decide as to whether he will need replacing. It comes as Thomas Tuchel looks to reinforce his defensive options and the Netherlands international could be the first signing to solve that
De Ligt bid prepared
Calciomercato, via the Mirror, reports that a deal to sign Matthijs de Ligt could soon be struck. The Blues are said to have offered £70million in the hope of landing the 22-year-old.
However, they aren’t alone in their interest though, as SportBILD adds Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also in the race. Talks are underway with both the Bianconeri and de Ligt’s agent as the sides try to win the battle for his highly-prized signature
Tuchel makes Ronaldo decision
Thomas Tuchel has decided whether Chelsea should sign Cristiano Ronaldo following the Manchester United striker's intent to leave Old Trafford this summer. The 37-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Red Devils, and the west Londoners have emerged as a likely destination.
football.london understand that the Blues have sounded out a move for the Portugal international, with Ronaldo keen to ply his trade in the Champions League this season. According to ESPN, the evergreen talisman is open to a move to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea remain hesitant as to whether to escalate their interest, with Tuchel believed to have been granted the final say.
The Independent say that the German has 'little interest' in welcoming Ronaldo to west London amid growing developments regarding Raheem Sterling's future
