West London outfit Manchester United might be made to lose out on their long term target Gareth Bale despite his wish to join the Old Trafford but that might not happen because his club wants otherwise.

Gareth Bale has been on the radar of the Red Devils team even before he left the North London outfit Tottenham to join the La Liga outfit but all of their efforts failed to fall through.

Now that he is being rumoured to be unsettled at the club and seek a move away, it is claimed that he is now willing to answer the call at Man United but the Real Madrid are not willing to sanction that.

It is claimed that the Spanish giants are willing to let go of Gareth Bale to the West London outfit Chelsea rather than United because of the already existing good relationship between both sides.

However, it is not clear how much would be tabled for the star player but suggestions are that the Blues and the Red Devils will well consider Gareth Bale’s price before making a move for him because of his age which is already 30,

It is no longer news that Chelsea have a policy of not signing a player who is more than 30 for more than a year contract.

Three years ago, former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder confirmed that he had talks with Chelsea FC.

Texiera said:

“I know there has been some interest from Chelsea lately, but at the moment nothing is concrete”.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder has scored 22 goals in that season which has attracted a lot of clubs because of his performance.

With the current Chelsea team, Texeira is more likely to replace Pedro than any other players in the squad.

Williams and Hazard play in the wild position, while Alex Teixeira can operate mostly in the central position.

The Brazilian would have been an excellent scorer that will add value to Chelsea’s failing attack, however, Chelsea never agreed a fee with his Ukrainian side and Chinese side Jiansu Suning tabled an incredible deal for Alex Teixeira,  The Guardian reported that it was worth around £38 million, smashing the Chinese transfer record.

Alex Teixeira’s completed his transfer same year and moved to China two years ago now, with Chelsea failing to score goals back to back, so has he shown Chelsea what they are missing now?

So far the attack-minded player has been a success in China, undoubtedly, but his form has certainly not left Chelsea fans wondering what it might have been to have a player that can assist Higuain.

He scored 13 goals for Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2016  and this season his side have been facing relegation. In all honesty, he has not been the massive success his stats at Shakhtar Donetsk projected he would be in China.

Alex Teixeira has failed to win any silverware with Jiansu in two years and there is no headway he will make the Brazil national squad soon. Fans must have believed that a move to Chelsea would have been a good step in the right direction for his career.

We could simply say he is operating at a lower league, due to the lower level of competition in the Chinese Super League – but we strongly doubt if Chelsea fans will be losing any sleep over this missed transfer from two years ago.

Everton manager Marco Silva has revealed that he would like to pursue a permanent transfer for defender Kurt Zouma at the end of this season.

Zouma, 24, is on a season-long loan at Goodison Park from Chelsea having joined the Toffees at the start of the current campaign.

Marco Silva spoke to the Liverpool Echo about the French international centre back as he said that he was desperate for the player to join him at Everton before the Portuguese tactician added that he wants to keep the player at the club.

Kurt Zouma joined Everton on the deadline day of the last summer’s transfer window.

The French defender has made 27 appearances for the Merseyside giants in all competitions.

Zouma has been one of the standout players for Everton in what’s gradually becoming a difficult season for the Toffees under Marco Silva.

Everton fans are unhappy with the league status of the team with the Toffees in ninth position on the Premier League log.

Kurt Zouma spent last season at Stoke City but he was unable to prevent them from dropping down to the second tier of English football.

It remains to be seen whether he has a future at Chelsea or the Blues would want to do a deal for him.

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has revealed what prompted him to sign for Spanish La Liga giants Atletico Madrid during the January transfer window.

Spanish international Morata talked about his move to Atletico Madrid in an interview with AS.

According to him, the Atletico Madrid made contact with him over three years ago in their bid to sign him over three years ago before adding that he promised Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simone about signing for the club.

Chelsea paid a club-record transfer of £71m to secure his transfer from European champions Real Madrid in the summer of 2017.

• Why Chelsea should sign Arber Zeneli

Morata didn’t have the best of times at Stamford Bridge despite the fact that he had a great start to his Chelsea career.

The Spaniard joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Chelsea in January with the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer.

His position was taken at Chelsea by Gonzalo Higuain who also joined the Blues on loan from Italian Serie A champions Juventus.

Higuain has scored two goals for Chelsea since his transfer to the West London club last month.

Juventus have already told Chelsea that the can sign the Argentine international player for €36m at the end of his loan deal this summer.

FC Zurich lost the first leg 3-1 at home and they have a big mountain to climb in the second leg scheduled to take place in Sao Paolo on Thursday night.

Florent Malouda was a fantastic servant for Chelsea whom he played for between 2007 and 2013.

The 80-cap French international player was a regular fixture on the left side of the Blues midfield for almost a decade.

He was part of the Chelsea squad that won the 2009/10 Premier League title under the guidance of current Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti before helping the Blues win the Champions League title in 2012.

Malouda and Chelsea saw off German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in front of their fans via the penalty shootout route.

FC Zurich would be hoping that Florent Malouda brings his wealth of football experience to the team both on and off the pitch.

Inter Milan chief Beppe Marotta has slammed an official from Juventus over his admission that they have registered an interest in unsettled striker Mauro Icardi.

Beppe Marotta was the chief executive officer (CEO) at Italian Serie A giants Juventus before he left to assume the same role at Inter Milan.

Mauro Icardi has been linked with major European sides like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea.

Those transfer rumours have intensified in the past few days after the Inter Milan striker was dropped as the Nerazzurri captain on Wednesday.

He has since been replaced by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.

In addition, Mauro Icardi is in a contract standoff with the club though Inter Milan officials have maintained that the captaincy decision is in isolation.

Inter Milan is rated at €100m for potential suitors like Chelsea and others.

The young defender is reaping the rewards for a stellar season in the colours of Crystal Palace.

The 21-year-old is enjoying a breakthrough season for the Eagles having displaced former first choice right-back Joel Ward since the start of the season.

Wan-Bissaka has played in all but one Premier League games for Crystal Palace in the current season.

We have a very reliable report that Aliko Dangote who happens to be Africa richest man will take over ownership from Chelsea current owner Roman Abramovich.

Our reliable source claim that Aliko Dangote has had two secret meetings with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in January to discuss the takeover of Chelsea Fc.

When Aliko Dangote said:  “he will turn his attention away from Arsenal and buy another football club, if Stan Kroenke makes it clear he will not sell to him“, we never knew he had his hands stretch at Chelsea.

A report by BBC  last year about Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich “withdrawing” his application for a UK visa and the delayed plan to build a new stadium could be the reason he intends to sell Chelsea.

We know Roman Abramovich is looking to sell a minority stake at Chelsea as reported by the Telegraph, what remains mysterious is the full take over by the African richest man Aliko Dangote.
