Chelsea Set To Sign Kovacic Permanently For £40m Despite Transfer Ban (11852 Views)

Chelsea are expected to complete the g of Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic for £40m despite being under a two-window transfer ban.

Kovacic spent last season on loan at Stamford Bridge, so Chelsea have already ed him.

It means, providing the deal is done before the loan expires on 30 June, it would not require another registration.

Therefore, that would not contravene Fifa's transfer ban on Chelsea, which runs until the end of January 2020.

The suspension, which followed an investigation by world football's governing body into the Stamford Bridge club's g of foreign under-18 players, is currently the subject of an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Chelsea have not asked for the ban to be lifted until the appeal is heard.

Kovacic made 32 Premier League appearances for the Blues last season, although former manager Maurizio Sarri's repeated decision to switch the 25-year-old Croatian with Ross Barkley created confusion about his effectiveness.

Chelsea will definitely have one new arrival next season as Christian Pulisic, currently on international duty with the USA at the Concacaf Gold Cup, has completed his six month loan at Borussia Dortmund after g for the Blues in January.

The club are also expected to confirm Frank Lampard as their new manager in the coming days.

The most popular substitution in the premier league last season was Kovacic OUT, Barkley IN, or vice versa. It was so popular even opposition fans knew when to expect it and Sarri never dissapointed. Indeed he was a predictable coach.

But despite these accusations he had a good season

Won Europa league,
Finished 3rd in the premier league only behind City and Liverpool
Reached final of EFL cup

Many people had fun bashing Sarri but he ended up shutting up his critics

Doesn't stop mancity from winning the league the third consecutive time.

Honestly,a club needs to play extraordinarily well before they can win the premier league now,if Liverpool can play so well but still finished second then there's a problem,Mancity is a problem.

Do they have any choice?

He's the most celebrated just behind Pedro in the team. Playing 51 times last season actually should won him a deal.

Without the ban, Chelsea may not have signed him. I think he's bang average although he still has sometime to prove himself. I reckon he could play alongside Ngolo in a 4231.

I know the transfer ban has pressurized Chelsea to wanna sign any how player available otherwise Kovacic should have been released even before last season ended.


Imagine us bringing Bakayoko back to Stamford bridge, To do what kwanu? FIFa had better ease up on the ban jooor.
