Chelsea, still the host of the next transfer window?
If we except the opening defeat against Manchester City in the Premier League, and the anecdotal one in the Europa Conference League play-off against the Swiss Servette, Chelsea are rather celebrating at the start of the season. In the wake of a fiery Christopher Nkunku, they have just scored nine goals without conceding a single one, with three victories on the clock. But Chelsea, very active on the transfer market in recent years, could strike again next summer. Or even as early as January. What upset the Real Madrid transfer window?

Mercato: the Blues want to overtake Real for Lukeba
A few days ago, we reported an interest from Real Madrid in Castello Lukeba. The French central defender, only 21 years old, born in Lyon, trained at OL, has made a name for himself at RB Leipzig. Last summer, the Merengues were already looking for a center. And had tried to bring in another young Frenchman, Leny Yoro, who ultimately left for Manchester United. According to Team TalkLukeba, picked up by Liverpool in 2021, could this time be the subject of an offer from Chelsea.
It must be said that the former Lyonnais has the profile to shine in the English Premier League. At the same time, still according to the same source, the Blues dream of Victor Boniface. The Nigerian international center forward, German champion with Bayer Leverkusen, has already scored 4 goals in 6 matches at the start of the season. Having passed through Cyprus, Norway and Belgium, will he add a new championship to his CV soon?
