Fabrizio Romano – who was the first to report on Dominik’s contract in Leipzig, inter alia, gave an extensive interview to Talkchelsea.net very close to the blue of London. In this conversation, an Italian journalist with an unparalleled knowledge of transfer cases calls the press reports that have already been taken for granted Attila Szalai his departure from Fenerbahçe – the champions of the Champions League, Chelsea. As this is a sensitive topic, we are faithful to the section dealing with the defender of the Hungarian national team.
“What about Attila Szalai, the player of Fenerbahçe? It was noticed that neither you nor the other transfer gurus had spoken on the matter, and there has been a great deal of silence since the first news popped up. It seems that Attila Szalai is one of those names who only suddenly shows up and then disappears just as suddenly when it comes to a transfer. Don’t you think this is a story like this? Asked a member of the website.
But yes. It is likely that the Turks only ran the name of Attila Szalai, giving the impression that he was only one step away from Chelsea. I know from people close to the player that Szalai is one of the footballers Chelsea watches, but the fact is that the Premier League leader watches at least a hundred players worldwide every year. That is, Szalai is one of those who have come into the sight of Chelsea observers, but nothing more. Negotiations did not begin, much less was offered to Fenerbahçe. And it is absolutely not true that there are advanced negotiations. Anything else could happen in the coming months, but nothing is imminent.
So far, the section dealing with Attila Szalai. There is also talk Timo Wernerrőlwho in the summer Romelu Lukaku he was put on the reserve line with his arrival and is too good a player to just get a word in exchange. It also turns out that in the summer Erling Braut Haaland was the first option of the Chelsea staff, not Lukaku, but Dortmund refused to let go of the Norwegian price of 180 million euros, and so Lukaku came into the picture. Whose acquisition he commanded in an exemplary manner Marina Granovszkaja, Roman Abramovics club owner confidant, managing director of Chelsea.
Romano spoke Antonio Rudiger about the spectacular resurrection of who Thomas Tuchel by the time he arrived, he couldn’t really get close to the starting eleven, then from the time he became a compatriot to the coach, he was unbreakable from the team and at the age of 28 he became one of the best middle defenders in the world.
They deal in midfield Aurélien Tchouaméni who is only 21 years old and an emerging star in Monaco, respectively Declan Rice is he also interested in Chelsea from the West Hamb, but his price as a Premier League player is € 100 million – or pounds? – he is walking in height. Their confirmation would become important if the two stars over thirty, N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho one or both of them would leave the club.
Clicker has the Kepa problem.
The world’s most expensive goalkeeper remained around Tuchel’s neck with his gigantic salary after Edu Mendy – rightfully – ousted him from the team.

It is very likely that since the top teams have no goalkeeper problems – Courtois at Real, ter Stegen at Barcelona, Keylor Navas and Donnarumma at PSG, Alisson at Liverpool, Ederson at Manchester City and Oblak at the Athletic – they will not find a buyer, only below cost.
Eventually, Romano was asked who would win the Premier League. The Italian first avoided the answer like a cat with hot porridge. Thus:
“I honestly think the whole football world has underestimated a bit what Thomas Tuchel has done since January at Chelsea. The club was in a difficult position when Tuchel arrived as he replaced a legend, Frank Lampard.
Then he accomplished a historic act, in my humble opinion, perhaps the greatest feat in the history of football.

He remained unbeaten in his first fourteen games, was elected coach of the month in the PL in March and then won the Champions League with a team that I didn’t think was suitable for a BL win. He was a good team, but he was also better than Chelsea, I mean in terms of the 23rd, 24th overall. So, take off your hat in front of Tuchel. ”
After that, Romano did not name Chelsea as the champion of the league title.
For me, however, Manchester City is the favorite because it has a 23rd frame like no one in the world. At the same time, I expect a huge fight between the City and Chelsea, and I think the Londoners will remain in the race for the top until the final round.
