The Englishification of Inter continues. After John Stones, the Nerazzurri are very close to completing a deal with Tottenham for Djed Spence, while Liverpool has opened the door to negotiations over Curtis Jones. Inter have formally put a 30 euros million offer on the table for the England international full-back. Tottenham are demanding 35 million plus bonuses. Given the relatively small gap between the offer and the asking price, it is quite possible that the two clubs will find a compromise within the next 24 hours. Liverpool has signalled to Inter that it is willing to negotiate over Jones, lowering its initial asking price by around ten percent — from 40 to 35–36 million euros.

Four years have passed since Todd Boehly and investment fund Clearlake Capital took ownership of Chelsea, and the club is once again set to finish another transfer window having spent at least 250 million euros on new players. In three of those five transfer windows, the bill has exceeded 400 million! That is also the case this time around, following the confirmation of the transfer of new left-back Pep Chavarria. As announced, the Spanish defender has signed a contract until June 2032, with Chelsea paying Rayo Vallecano 19 million up front, plus at least another two million euros in various bonuses. This means Xabi Alonso has filled the void left by another Spaniard, Marc Cucurella. The Spanish coach has acquired an energetic and versatile full-back who, much like Cucurella, can fulfill several different tactical demands, while his determination and fighting spirit are precisely the qualities Chelsea have lacked in recent years.Welcome to Chelsea, Pep. ☕️ pic.twitter.com/oq1KPncIzs— C..
