Karius is not that bad for 5m, is he?

So far Chelsea have not spent one penny in this transfer window.
Conte is still Manager.
Abramovich has had to become an Israeli Citizen after the UK Government stonewalled his visa. This means going forward Abramovich will only be allowed 2 periods of 3 months at a time in any 12 month period of visiting the UK and he will have to prove to HMRC that he is not working...kind of hard to disprove when he owns Chelsea FC!
Sarri "the so called new Chelsea Manager" has yet to be given the green light by Napoli, his contract and release clause remains, something which has complicated Chelsea's bid to appoint him.

Any suggestion that Chelsea have made a bid for Allisson is BS!

Lets tell him Liverpool is in Spain and hope his geography is shitte

Be worth a punt though if he wants a move especially at the price quoted for Alisson?

He wants to be near his kids, thus trying to move to Madrid. If Real do not buy him, he'll probably move for free to Atletico next year and they'll sell Oblak. But if he stays in England I think he will sign a new improved contract with Chelsea, that would be the best for him on the financial side

Chelsea don't really need a manager to buy players

They have not bid yet.

Courtois' 2 kids live in Madrid with his ex-GF and he wants to move over there to be able to spend more time with them.
It would make sense for Real Madrid to get Courtois because the situation would suit both parties. However the sticking point with this is Courtois' contract which runs out in 2019, Real Madrid can get him for FREE then. It's widely known that Real Madrid would like to get Courtois but if they can get him for nothing then I expect them to wait or come to some sort of loan agreement for this coming season with Chelsea.

Roma have just signed Mirante from Bologna in anticipation for Allisson's departure. Roma have been trying to initiate an auction for Allisson and are now trying to get Chelsea involved with the likelihood Courtois will be off to Real Madrid and Chelsea will be on the hunt for a new Keeper.

Allisson's Agents - Football Capital, have players under their wing allover the globe but none at Liverpool, Chelsea or Real Madrid to give an indication they have a working relationship with supposed interested parties.

Somehow I don't see Allisson to Madrid when they can get Courtois for nowt next year. I see a definite possibility he could be our new GoalKeeper next season "IF" FSG don't feck about with the transfer fee. We are currently a more attractive proposition than Chelsea and the only way we lose out is on his wages and/or transfer fee.

We'll hear a lot more on this once Brazil and Belguim's fate in The World Cup becomes clear!

To add to the above Real Madrid want to bring in Neymar from PSG and sell Ronaldo, probably back to Man Utd. Them spending 70m on Allisson and then in the region of 200m for Neymar does not make sense even in this loopy transfer fee world we are currently in.
Logical thinking would be Courtois for FREE within a year.

If the do sell Ronaldo, they would do a deal with PSG

Ronaldo won't go to PSG he knows he'd sink into anonymity in France, it's all about him he revels in the limelight. Besides I really want him to go back to Old Toilet, imagine him, Mourinho and Pogba at the same club? talk about clash of personalities. Hopefully YaYa Toure announces he is signing for Utd as well, then they'd have the full house of belligerence! It'd be like the Democrat Party on steroids!
