A basic summary-

1. Cucurella likely to join Chelsea. Tuchel sees cucurella as someone who can provide cover at LCB, LB and LWB.

2. Colwill could end up moving the other way, likely in a separate deal, with a buyback clause included.

3. Cucurella's arrival could facilitate departure of Alonso, Sarr has interest from Fulham and Ligue 1, he has been told he cannot leave until another defender comes in. Should Cucurella deal not happen, Gvardiol will be an option.

4. Fofana is more of a pure CB target, price between 80-85m pounds. Bar Colwill and potentially Broja, difficult to see the players Boehly can offer.

5. Dumfries could be a more swifter deal, considering Inter's need to raise funds, and talks withPSG for the sale of Skriniar being stalled over price, the move could allow for the exit of Azpilicueta to Barca.

6.Tuchel admirer of De jong, De jong prefers to stay at Barca and collect his money, if De Jong is to be persuaded to leave, the impression is that a move to Chelsea would be more desirable than Manchester United.

7. Werner's preference is to go back to Germany, perhaps to RB Leipzig, in order for it to happen, Werner would need to take a sizeable wage sacrifice like Lukaku.

8.Kepa's loan to Napoli expected to be finalised in a matter of days. An asking price of 35-40 million euros attracted no interest across Europe. An option to buy is possible but an obligation is unlikely.
