Chelsea had lined up a 15M loan deal (a record amount) for Nico Jackson to go to Bayern, with a 65M option to buy - a tremendous piece of business.  Jackson is in Munich for his physical, and Chelsea are trying to cancel the deal, now that Liam DeLap just pulled a hamstring.  German press say that so long as Jackson passes his physical, Bayern intend to sign the papers.  DeLap is expected to miss 8 weeks, so it's a bad one.

This should be interesting!  I thought it was a bad idea to be forcing him out, and not just because there are 2 other guys.  People get hurt every season, and each of these guys has a distinct style, which are complimentary.

Chelsea sign Alejandro Garnacho from Man United for 40M.  He and Jamie Gittens will share the left wing in the Chelsea attack.  I would have preferred Xavi Simons, personally, who has joined Tottenham.

Everyone is waiting for Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool from Newcastle for a reported 130M.

Liverpool offer 35M + 10% sell on fee to Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi. Palace want 35M + 5M in achievable incentives.  Guehi is in the last year of his deal. They seem awfully close, so I expect this to get done by Monday.

Chelsea have bid 40M for Fermin Lopez of Barcelona, an attacking midfielder.  Why didn't you make any offer for Simons?  He's better.

Fiorentina sign Tariq Lamptey from Brighton.  A bit diminutive in MF, but a good motor, good at winning back the ball.
