Overview

• Chelsea have opened formal negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for 26-year-old forward Randal Kolo Muani after his eight-goal loan spell at Juventus.
• Juventus have approached PSG about a paid loan structure with a buy option to retain Kolo Muani following his strong Serie A and Club World Cup performances.
• The Blues are considering selling Nicolas Jackson to fund the move, with Juventus and Napoli among the clubs interested in the 24-year-old striker.
• Chelsea have already bolstered their attack this summer by signing 19-year-old Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for £30 million.
• The outcome of these transfer talks will reshape Chelsea’s forward line as they prepare for a campaign back in the Champions League.
