Summer mercato 2021

[slifersd]

True. If the rumored gentlemen's agreement on free transfer to any non-English club is true, then Chelsea isn't just cheap, but pathetic. 

I think they are just sour and petty that Tomori has turned out to be such a gem.

I don't think Chelsea is sour about Tomori, this is how they've always operated. Think of all the negotiations we have had with them over the years, when was the last time they gave in an inch? Their club is rich, so they do not care about having to pay high salary to useless players, so they are not desperate to get rid of anyone. If they have to pay Giroud a year to sit in the stands, that's nothing to them. But they absolutely will not let other teams and players dictate the terms of their transfers. Hazard had a year left on his contract and they were still able to sell him for 100M.
