Chelsea prepare £130m in deals for Alex Sandro, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko
In a massive swoop, the trio would surely cement Chelsea as firm favourites to win the Premier League for a second consecutive season, as they club are preparing to spend megabucks to bring in their top targets.
Central-midfielder Bakayoko is expected to complete his £35m switch to the West London side within the next 48 hours, whereas the Blues are more than confident of bringing German Confederations Cup winner Rudiger for £33.3. Lastly, with Sandro – a defender that the Pensioners have been linked with for a while now as negotiations are entering a third week – the club are looking to smash their transfer record by offering a fee of £61m to Serie A side Juventus.
Going the other way is club legend John Terry, who left the side earlier this year. He has just joined up at Championship side Aston Villa for on a free transfer.
