Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Thursday, July 9.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Chelsea eye possible reinforcements.

The Blues failed to bring in a single player during the January window, despite seeing their transfer ban cut short by FIFA.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Thursday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:

Chelsea have reportedly been offered the choice of two players by Juventus as the Italian giants look to strike a deal for Jorginho.

The Old Lady are supposedly stepping up their pursuit of the midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window, with former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri understood to be keen on a reunion with the player in Turin.

According to Tuttosport, Juve are willing to part ways with Aaron Ramsey or Adrien Rabiot as they attempt to lure Jorginho back to Italy.

The report claims that Chelsea are reluctant to sell for less than the £58m they originally paid for the 28-year-old, but the Blues will likely lower their asking price should a part-exchange deal be agreed upon.

Jorginho has turned out 37 times in all competitions for Chelsea this term, notching up six goals and two assists for Frank Lampard's men.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are supposedly at the head of the queue for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.


Said Benrahma friend drops Chelsea hint

A friend of Brentford winger Said Benrahma has dropped a huge hint that the 24-year-old could be heading to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Having amassed a terrific return of 15 goals and nine assists in the Championship this term, Benrahma is naturally being linked with a move to a top-flight club.

Chelsea have been touted as a potential destination for the Algeria international, and Benrahma's friend and fellow professional footballer Fahd Moufi has recently added fuel to the fire on social media.

Commenting on Benrahma's Instagram Live, Moufi, who plays as a defender for Portuguese side Tondela, said: "Congratulations on Chelsea, my bro."

Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options with the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, but Frank Lampard is supposedly keen to add more firepower to his frontline ahead of next season.

Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz is reportedly a priority target for the Blues, and a recent report suggested that the 21-year-old is keen to move to Stamford Bridge in order to link up with Germany teammates Antonio Rudiger and Werner.
