Paper Round: Chelsea set to pip Manchester City to Jorginho signing
Chelsea beat City to Jorginho
Chelsea may have pulled off the coup of the summer by beating Manchester City to the signature of Napoli
midfielder, Jorginho. With City prepared to pay just £48.6m for the
player, spread over installments, Chelsea have offered £51.25m as an
up-front payment, with another £6.18 in add-on fees. However, that sum
also includes signing Maurizio Sarri as manager. The 26-year-old Italy international should earn £102,000 a week for turning down City.
Fekir asks Lyon to talk to Liverpool
Nabil Fekir has been in discussions with Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas
in order to convince him to resurrect transfer discussions with
Liverpool. The 24-year-old French international saw talks between the
two sides fall apart over the transfer fee and concerns over Fekir’s
medical results. However, Fekir has convinced Auas to be open to new
talks, perhaps by restructuring a deal.
West Ham weigh up Toure move
Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure may miss out on a
move to Premier League side West Ham. The London club held talks with
the 35-year-old player but were concerned by the astonishing attack he
launched on his previous coach, Pep Guardiola.
Toure is asking for £100,000 a week, despite previous claims from his
agent he would accept £12 for the year in order to prove his worth.
Everton push for Mina transfer
Everton hope to sign Colombian international Yerry Mina. The
23-year-old central defender currently plays for Barcelona, having
joined in January from Palmeiras, but has made just six appearances so
far. That gives new Everton boss Marco Silva that there is a deal to be
done, with a fee of £21m mentioned.
