Chelsea starts to circulate the ball around the middle. using a bid for one cap (19 years old)
Although it seems like the summer will go forever, we all know it won't.
This is particularly true in the sport of football, where we will play friendlies in July and Premier League games by early August.
The worst thing a team can do is get comfortable and believe they have time, especially if they have a large amount of squad surgery to do, as Chelsea does. No, they don't.
Despite the fact that no formal signings have yet been completed, it is encouraging to hear more and more news of offers being made and negotiations beginning as opposed to simply the initial chitchat between agencies and teams.
Romeo Lavia has been connected to us since last August, but there hasn't been much movement. Now, however, we are beginning to hear specific assertions that indicate that there is more to the relationship than a hazy curiosity in the recently demoted Southampton midfielder.
While we are still a long way from the resolution, we have at least started working towards it, according to a report in Football London today, the club has "opened talks" with the Saints regarding Lavia.
Lavia, who is only 19, has a Transfermarkt valuation of €25 million. Although he isn't a perfect player, Moises Caicedo is a very excellent one, and if we wait too long to try to sign him, we may not be able to do so and end up with nothing.
