Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: Blues ‘lead’ £113m Nunez race, Lukaku talks, Granovskaia offer
Thomas Tuchel was still upset and angry when he was asked whether his Chelsea side had a chance of overturning a 3-1 deficit in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Real Madrid in Spain.
Hello everyone, and welcome to football.london’s live Chelsea blog on Monday. The Blues are back in action tomorrow evening as they travel to Real Madrid to try and overturn a two-goal deficit after last week’s 3-1 defeat.
The west Londoners have it all to do, with Los Blancos – and particularly Karim Benzema – in fantastic form last week. However, Chelsea will be boosted by their 6-0 victory over Southampton at the weekend.
Elsewhere, there is plenty happening off the pitch, with the club’s search for a new owner still ongoing. As well as this, if Chelsea are able to complete the take over of the club before the summer transfer window, then they will be able to do business once again.
There are plenty of players being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ahead of the summer. So, with this said, we will bring you the very latest on possible incomings and outgoings at Chelsea as and when we get them.
Chelsea are one of a number of clubs reportedly ‘leading’ the race for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan has caught they for his exhilarating goal-scoring displays in Portugal and the Champions League. He has regularly been linked with a move to the Premier League – Arsenal emerging as suitors.
According to The Athletic though, the Blues are frontrunners for his services, alongside Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
