Summer transfer rumors are always entertaining and this one is no different. According to The Guardian, Chelsea are ready to splash out $120 to bring three players to Stamford Bridge. Those players are rumored to be Alex Sandro, Tiemoue Bakayoko, and Willy Cabellaro.
Of the three, I think Cabellaro is a done deal. The other two, not so much.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was been frustrated with the Chelsea board for their lack of action and this seems like they are finally giving in to Conte.
This is an insane amount of money for three players but that seems to be how the market is right now. Chelsea are going to need al the help they can get, not only because they will be playing in the Champions League next season, but because it seems like all the top Premier League teams are targeting some of the top players in the world.
To me, Bakayoko seems like the biggest priority. Nemanja Matic will most likely be moving on and who knows what Cesc Fabregas will decide.
Sandro could be an upgrade at the left wing-back position, but it remains to be seen if Juventus can be persuaded to part with him Apparently, the offers from Chelsea have all been declined.
With Asmir Begovic moving on to greener pastures, Caballero will be an able second to Thibaut Courtois.
If these signings actually do happen, Chelsea would have to be made favorites to repeat as league champions. But who knows if they will actually happen. What is known, is that if Chelsea do not announce some signings soon, not only will the fans become restless, but they will have one very unhappy manager on their hands.
