Chelsea Transfer News: Midfielder talks confirmed, £40m Arsenal bid, Brazil ace wants move

Real Betis want to keep Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda

Real Betis sporting director Miguel Torrecilla has confirmed the Spanish club are in talks to renew Charly

Musonda's loan deal from Chelsea - and are keen to sign him on a permanent basis in the future.
"He's a player of a very big club with a big profile," Torrecilla told Spanish Goal. "We could ask for a buying option when we get to renew it [his contract].

"Hopefully, we could get a clause with the option, but I better not say the price because it would make you laugh.

 

"It’s very difficult to find an option with clubs like Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid... it’s impossible."

Meanwhile, The Sun claim Arsenal are looking to beat Chelsea to the signing of Juventus striker Alavaro Morata.
Real Madrid will reportedly trigger their £25million buy-back clause for the Spain international this summer and sell him on for a profit.

Lucas Lima open to Chelsea move

And the Gunners are said to be lining up a £40m bid for the 23-year-old forward and are willing to make him their highest earner on a £155,000-a-week deal.

And finally, Santos midfielder and Brazil international Lucas Lima has revealed he would be open to a Stamford Bridge switch this summer.

Lima told Globo Esporte: “I don’t want to leave for any club, I want to play for a big team from Europe. There are many… Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea."
