Chelsea transfer Q&A: Latest on Maignan, Madueke, Delap, Oshimen discussed

With Chelsea is expected to be active in the summer overservar, Sky Sports News' main reporter Kaveh Solhekol answers your questions about some potential ins and outs.

How much does Chelsea want to sign a keeper?

Ricky: Does Enzo Maresca believe that signing a keeper is a top priority for him and the club?

Kaveh Solhekol: Chelsea has had the opportunity to sign Mike Maignan of AC Milan and conversations took place.

However, Chelsea would only offer £ 10 million for Maignan.

They are well stacked in the position and happy with the four options they have, although they are expected to be on loan.

So far there has been no bid. Chelsea is not willing to pay £ 25 million for a 29-year-old who has left for another year at his deal. That is the figure that Milan wants, according to Sky in Italy.

Chelsea also has Djordje Petrovic, Mike Penders and Kepa.

More than one striker through the door?

Lukejbarker: Is there another striker target on the horizon, or does it seem that Maresca will put all his faith in the Delap ???

Kaveh Solhekol: Chelsea will certainly strengthen their forward line, but the big question is whether they will sign another striker after Liam Delap. I think there is a general acceptance that Chelsea needs more options than Nicolas Jackson and Delap if they are serious about winning the title or the Champions League again next season. That is why they are still considering signing another striker, especially if they receive serious offers for Jackson.

Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are all closely monitored and Chelsea has made first contact with the clubs of the players they want.

Many fans would like to see Victor Osimhen in the Premier League. Chelsea was very serious to sign him last summer, but his wage was a problem and negotiating with Napoli is not always easy.

Why did Chelsea Sancho go?

Matt47: Why did Chelsea pay £ 5 million to not sign someone?

Kaveh Solhekol: It is not every day that you pay £ 5 million to not sign anyone, but once you look at the details of what happens to Jadon Sancho, it makes sense from the position of Chelsea.

Chelsea signed Sancho on loan for the Manchester United season last summer with an obligation to buy it for £ 25 million if they ended up higher than 14th in the Premier League.

They finished fourth, so you would think they had to sign him, but they can pay £ 5 million to send him back to United and that is what they have decided to do.

They did that because they could not even agree on the conditions a new contract for Sancho with his representatives. He is said to earn at least £ 250,000 a week at United, and Chelsea paid only half of his wages. They were not willing to match his entire united wages and that is why the player does not stay in Chelsea.

What is the last about the future of Madueke?

Olu: How likely is it that Noni Madueke will stay this summer?

Kaveh Solhekol: I have no information to suggest that Chelsea is trying to actively sell Noni Madueke this summer.

He is appreciated in the club, mainly because of his ability to stretch the defense defense.

That said, the main window will be open until the end of August, so who knows what is going to happen, but Chelsea doesn't have to sell him and he did not ask to leave.

Does the departure of Sancho mean that Chelsea will move to Garnacho?

Morgana: What does Sancho's departure mean for interest in Garnacho?

Kaveh Solhekol: For what it is worth, I think Garnacho would be a great signature for Chelsea. Only because he has had some off-field problems at Manchester United, this does not mean that this will be the case with Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea looked at him very well in January. He is only 20, United is willing to sell and he fits in with the profile of player Chelsea.

However, I would be careful because Chelsea has other goals in his position. Napoli has a long-term interest in Garnacho and they can also offer him Champions League football next season.

Is PSR a problem for Chelsea and who is leaving?

Sam: We have heard about different incoming players for Chelsea, but which players do they want to unload? How big is PSR?

Kaveh Solhekol: PSR has been a concern for Chelsea and they have had to find some creative ways to keep the rules recently. That said, the future looks much brighter thanks to the Champions League and the Club World Cup. Chelsea can yield around £ 200 million extra income if they are really doing well in those two competitions.

Many players will leave Chelsea this summer and possible departure are Christopher Nunku, Joao Felix, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Robert Sanchez, Djordje Petrovic, Raheem Sterling, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu.

What is the plan to sign a center-back?

Chris: Does Chelsea still need a center-back, and if so, for whom would or should we go?

Kaveh Solhekol: Center-back is a position that Chelsea wants to strengthen.

They were one of the favorites to sign Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth until he decided to join Real Madrid. They love players such as Jorrel Hato at Ajax and Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite.

Hato is only 19, so the profile of players Chelsea Target would fit. He has a lot of room to develop and he would fit in the wage structure of Chelsea. Goals such as Guehi and Branthwaite would be more complicated deals to draw.

How will the World Cup influence Chelsea Transfers?

SpeEZY88: With Chelsea in the World Cup Club, how does that influence their transfer strategy? Are they more in a hurry to report/send players?

Kaveh Solhekol: Chelsea will be busy, but don't forget that there are two windows this summer.

I still think there is a chance that Liam Delap could be the only signature in this first Mini transfer window before the team will fly to the US for the club World Cup next week.

Chelsea takes that competition very seriously, especially since the winner will bank up to £ 94 million. If there is an indication of intermediaries that AC Milan would accept about £ 10 million for Mike Maignan, then that deal can claim in the coming days, but the player also has the option to see his contract and hit the jackpot as a free agent next summer.

Chelsea looks closely at around 10 players, but only a handful of it will continue to the bidding phase before the main window closes on 1 September.

Is Chelsea's transfer strategy changed after the importance of Maignan?

Cliff: appears to be interested in Maignan a change in strategy for Chelsea?

Kaveh Solhekol: I don't think there has been a change in strategy.

Chelsea was contacted and offered the opportunity to sign one of the best keepers in the world.

They are happy with the keepers they have at the moment, but if they are encouraged to believe that they can get Maignan for the right price, I think they would make an offer.

Your opinion about Chelsea's transfer needs

Bigjosher: I personally think we don't need another keeper who is added to the team. We know that Petrovic is solid, Sanchez had a fantastic end to the season and Jorgensen is also pretty. I would just keep those 3 and concentrate in other areas.

Garnasarmy: Maignan is one of those signing sessions that you make when you are looking for a unit of no. 1. It is special and would quickly become the best in the competition.

Osvaldo: I don't know what other blues think, but center-back must be the priority.

Frank: I think it's best that Noni will continue this summer. No consistent trees picked up. We can reduce our losses and sign two new wing players … hopefully.

Terrywonthedouble: The window must be a big one. It just feels like we're not doing enough. Man Utd is busy, Liverpool the same – we have the chance to really take on, and it seems that we don't use it.
