Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 30th July

Chelsea are resolute in their refusal to entertain any bids for David Luiz after it emerged Bayern Munich are considering a £34.5m move for the 26-year-old defender.

What’s the story? Right. Super rich Chelsea don’t want to sell one of starting players because they don’t need to or want to? What’s new?

Does it make sense? There is literally no reason for them to sell David Luiz.

Is the price right? No. When do these big club to big club transfers ever really happen? What are Chelsea going to be able to do with that money to get themselves a similar standard player?

Will it happen? 0/10 – Unless I’ve missed the news that Chelsea sell star players (which they never have under Abramovich) this won’t happen.
