Juventus consider making a swap deal involving 28-year-old Chelsea star
Juventus are considering making a swap deal for Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria
Serie A side Juventus are hoping to make a swap deal involving Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic and Juve loanee Denis Zakaria this summer.
According to Italian outlet CalcioMercato Web (via Football.London), Juventus are interested in signing the Croatian midfielder and offering Denis Zakaria to West Londoners in exchange.
This is a deal we would be wise to say no to. The former Real Madrid central midfielder is one of the finest at what he does. If we want Zakaria that bad, then it would be a better proposition to try and sign him outright without seeing a first-team star leave.
Chelsea hope to agree fresh terms with soon-to-be out-of-contract veteran
Chelsea hope to complete the agreement soon for the contract extension of Thiago Silva
According to a tweet from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are hoping to complete the agreement soon to tie defender Thiago Silva for another year at the club.
The 38-year-old, whose current contract at Stamford Bridge expires in the coming summer (Transfermarkt), is in discussions to sign a one-year extension that will keep him at Chelsea till 2024.
A few days, Silva gave an interview and revealed that the talks of his contract are going in a positive direction. He also said that the club needs him and his experience during this transition time.

Chelsea are certainly through the worst of their injury crisis, and today saw one of their remaining first team stars back in action.
Wesley Fofana has barely featured for the Blues since a big money move this summer, but was back training with the group today.
Fofana is actually one of the less critical players to return simply because Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile have put together a nice partnership.
But with the tempo of fixtures about to increase, every extra body will come in useful.
