Inter Milan Target Out Of Chelsea Squad For Friendly Clash Vs Bayer Leverkusen
Inter Milan-linked forward Christopher Nkunku is not part of the Chelsea squad to face Bayer Leverkusen in a friendly match. In addition to the Frenchman, striker Nico Jackson is also absent. Inter Milan have been keeping tabs on the situation of Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. The Nerazzurri have been aware of the opportunity to sign the 27-year-old former RB Leipzig forward for some time. He is a player Chelsea are desperate to sell this summer. Nkunku would cost a fee of around €40 million. That is certainly attainable for Inter. After all, it is what they initially bid for Ademola Lookman. Inter Target Christopher Nkunku Out Of Chelsea Squad Vs Bayer Leverkusen LONDON, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 25: Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea celebrates scoring his team's first goal by blowing up a blue balloon during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Southampton FC at Stamford Bridge on February 25, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) A key part of the reason why Nkunku would be available is the fact that he is not in Chelsea's plans. The Blues signed Nkunku just two years ago. They brought the Frenchman in on a big money deal from RB Leipzig. However, Nkunku has never really lived up to expectations at Stamford Bridge. This is reflected in the fact that the 27-year-old is not a part of Chelsea' squad to face Bayer Leverkusen in a preseason friendly this evening. Therefore, it looks to be clear that Nkunku is available this evening.

Chelsea put valuation on Nico Jackson as journalist details ‘most concerning part' of it all
Chelsea put valuation on Nico Jackson as journalist details 'most concerning part' of it all Chelsea have apparently now put a transfer valuation on Nicolas Jackson's head as one journalist details the 'most concerning part'. It's not exactly blown up with big Chelsea transfer news but this is probably because at the moment the club have been concentrating on playing in the Club World Cup. Advertisement I'm fully convinced Chelsea will go for a goalkeeper still this window but it is something that will happen later on in the window. And despite the Mike Maignan thing consistently being played down now, I can still see Chelsea going back for him. There is also a situation bubbling up with Andrey Santos, who will be disappointed not to have played yet for Chelsea in the Club World Cup and will surely be weighing up his own future right now. The Santos noise is soon going to start increasing. Chelsea hope for patience from Santos Santos is going to be upset with his lack of minutes but Chelsea are hoping that he is going to be patient with it, Advertisement A report from The Guardian over the weekend suggests it is to be hoped that Santos, who has been linked with Bayern Munich, is ready to be patient. Getting no minutes against Flamengo will be a disappointment given that the Brazil international played for their great rivals, Vasco da Gama, but it is important to maintain perspective. Santos is still a newcomer, after all, and will surely be given an opportunity to prove that he can compete with Enzo Fernández. Jackson in trouble Nicolas Jackson looks pained after a red card. (Photo by Chris Lee/Chelsea FC) Nicolas Jackson meanwhile, has a big question mark over his head at Chelsea now after his latest sending off. Advertisement The Athletic wrote on it that the most concerning part of Nicolas Jackson's apology statement was the admission that he still does not fully understand how the Flamengo red card happened. And according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea value Nicolas Jackson at between €55-60m, which is around £50m.

'Top five by default' - fans on Champions League chances
We asked you to tell us in one sentence why Chelsea will qualify for the Champions are some of your repliesFahey: Our remaining 10 fixtures should result in 19-21 points, making 68-70 points overall. I think 65 will be enough to get fifth Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League not on merit but because everyone else's form is also sketchy. Over the last six games we have somehow had better form than all around us other than Brighton and others' inability to get results over the line will get us top five by Given the fixtures, Chelsea should get another 16 or 17 points from the 10 remaining We'll qualify for Champions League because key players — including Nico Jackson — will come back from injury, Cole Palmer will find his form, and Enzo Maresca will loosen his system a bit and let these guys play the way they want to some of you did not agree with the premise, so here's a flavour of the other They won't! We have blown it in my They won't qualify for the Champions League!Richard: We are still well placed to finish in the top five but much of this is due to inconsistent results from teams around us like Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa, but if they (or Brighton) all improve, Chelsea might miss out completely. That's not As much as we all want it, I don't think that we will get CL qualification this season because we are not good enough - far too flaky, not decisive enough going forward and very leaky at the back.
