- Fabrizio Romano says to expect fast-moving talks, with updates anticipated after Saturday’s matches for both clubs.
- Liam Rosenior is pushing to bolster centre-back options, with discussions intensifying to recall Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg after Chelsea brought back Aaron Anselmino from Dortmund.
- Reports in France indicate Anselmino is reluctant to join Strasbourg as cover, complicating Chelsea’s internal reshuffle plan.
