Madrid deal transfer blow
Real Madrid have dealt Chelsea a transfer blow after entering the race to sign Leicester City's Youri Tielemans, according to reports.
The Belgium midfielder could be on the move this summer with his contract at the King Power Stadium set to expire at the end of next season. Chelsea are thought to be interested in signing Tielemans, who could be available for around £33.6million.
But Madrid have now entered the race to land the midfielder's signature, football.london reports, as they aim to beat the Blues and land the signing in the summer transfer window.
Pulisic's 'sad' situation
Christian Pulisic has a "big six months ahead" according to his dad amid speculation around the forward's future.
The USA international has had a tricky season with Thomas Tuchel's side, making 33 appearances across all competitions – but 17 of those coming from the substitutes' bench. He found himself on the bench once again for Sunday's 1-0 loss to Everton, coming on in the 68th minute.
And Pulisic's dad Mark has now given an insight into the "sad" situation at Chelsea – as he said it is a case of "onwards and upwards" for his son.
Tuchel's takeover frustration
Thomas Tuchel is becoming increasingly frustrated at his side's disappointing form amid reports of the club's takeover being close to going through.
American brokers Raine, who have been charged to oversee the sale after Government sanctions were imposed on Roman Abramovich, have chosen the consortium led by US tycoon Todd Boehly as the preferred bidder. But Tuchel is growing frustrated at not being able to plan for the summer as he faces losing both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen when their contracts expire in the summer.
The Blues boss is also thought to be keen to sign a new striker following Romelu Lukaku's struggles this season. Tuchel is also thought to be frustrated at a dip in his side's form amid all of the speculation over what is happening to the club off the pitch.
