Best pals Mason Mount and Declan Rice can wave as they pass each other by and Arsenal have joined a four-club race for Alexis Mac Allister.
It’s claimed Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City have joined Liverpool in registering an interest in the Brighton midfielder, and a bidding war could ensue when the transfer window opens with Brighton prepared to listen to offers above £70m.Chelsea’s big win over Leeds was far from convincing, and is now the way at Stamford Bridge, more so even than the Roman Abramovich days, problems are remedied by signings.
Having spent nearly £600m in their first two transfer windows in charge, Todd Boehly and Clearlake are preparing to go big again this summer and have two players at the top of their wishlist, according toThe Blues want to make Joao Felix’s move permanent, and secure the signing of long-term target Declan Rice.
Chelsea don’t have an option in Felix’s loan deal to sign him permanently, and reports suggest Atletico Madrid want something close to the £120m they paid Benfica in the summer of 2019. There’s surely no chance Boehly will sanction that, and further reports suggest they will test the Spanish side’s resolve with a bid of around £70m.
But Chelsea will likely have to meet West Ham’s £100m valuation for Rice. Because although both Roy Keane and Gary Neville reckon that’s exorborbitant, it appears there will be quite the clamour from a number of clubs to land him this summer.
