Chelsea transfer news – Cesar Azpilicueta leaves for free
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Cesar Azpilicueta will leave Stamford Bridge this summer for free. This is a decision made by Chelsea out of respect to the club legend, who will join Atletico Madrid on a two-year deal. In a bittersweet way, this move makes sense for all parties involved.
Understand César Azpilicueta’s contract at Atlético Madrid will be valid until June 2025 — can confirm it’s two year deal as revealed on Friday, not 1+1 ⚪️🔴 #Atleti

Chelsea transfer news – No giving up on Levi Colwill
According to Football London, Levi Colwill will play a crucial role under Mauricio Pochettino as he takes charge in his first season as Chelsea boss. The defender spent the season on loan at Brighton and impressed massively so he will feel like a new signing.
Pochettino has always prioritised playing young players and giving them a shot. So even given the inflated Chelsea squad, Colwill is likely to be one of the first names on the team sheet under Poch.
Chelsea transfer news – ANOTHER Romelu Lukaku loan?!
Romelu Lukaku hasn’t exactly been a success at Chelsea. In fact, some even forget he’s still a Chelsea player.
Inter are expected to contact Chelsea again next week in order to advance on Romelu Lukaku deal. New round of talks could take place after signing Brozovic deal. ⚫️🔵🇧🇪 #CFC

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will be approached by Inter Milan to discuss ANOTHER loan move for Romelu Lukaku move. In my opinion, they shouldn’t even entertain the idea.
