Transfer News: Done Deals, Chelsea Keen On Mac Allister, Man Utd Wants Ex-Chelsea Star, Abraham

Chelsea have a “firm interest” in Brighton and Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. Football.London report the Blues are keen on the World Cup winner and could bring him to Stamford Bridge to play alongside international team-mate Enzo Fernandez.

Man Utd Wants Ex-Chelsea Star, Abraham

Manchester United are interested in Roma striker Tammy Abraham, while Aston Villa continue to keep tabs on the Englishman, according to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport. The former Chelsea striker has fallen behind Andrea Belotti in the pecking order under Jose Mourinho and Roma would sanction his sale if they were offered a fee higher than the £34m they paid to sign him from Chelsea in the summer of 2021.

While Chelsea have a buy-back clause inserted in the deal it is unlikely they exercise it. But Aston Villa, another of Abraham’s former clubs, are interested in the striker and a summer approach could be possible. United are also monitoring him closely in an attempt to know whether they should make a move at some point in the summer.

Kessie’s agent hits back at Barcelona exit rumours

Franck Kessie’s agents have hit out at speculation the midfielder could leave Barcelona and head back to Italy in the summer transfer window, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

“We denied a possible transfer of Kessié, same for player and club — but fake news is annoying,” said Kessie’s agency.

“Possibility that Kessié may leave Barça in the next transfer market is the same as hoping that a Snake may suddenly have legs next summer. Kessié plays, plays wonderfully well, scores goals, enters Barça history by signing goal no. 3000 and someone finds the courage to divulge delusional information. Franck has been clear, Barça too: he wants to stay.”
