Centre back in tears because he’s set to leave club – Chelsea keen – has £52m release clause

A centre back was in tears this weekend because he’s set to leave his club, and Chelsea are keen – he has a £52m release clause!

Could Chelsea be about to pull off a shock surprise move to bring in a new centre back this late in the transfer window? Well, it would see like they are at least interested in doing so because there is never smoke without fire.

EXCLUSIVE! Cole Palmer injured and how long he’s expected to be out for!

There’s plenty going on this week now as we go into the final seven days of this summer’s transfer window and Chelsea need to sell a lot of players still.

Tyrique George is getting interest from many clubs this week and there is a decent chance that he will move somewhere, whether on loan or on a permanent deal.

And defender Axel Disasi is one other player that Chelsea could look to sell still this week and he’s become the subject of interest from a number of Premier League clubs who are trying to find creative ways to sign the centre back this window.

But it is a new centre back that many Chelsea fans believe the club still need to bring in, and manager Enzo Maresca clearly wants one as well.
