Yesterday, Chelsea experienced a rollercoaster ride. First, they sold Enzo Fernandes to Manchester City for a higher transfer fee than initially expected. Stamford Bridge had set a starting price of €140 million. Despite City's attempts to lower the price, the Londoners remained firm. They were right. Manchester City ultimately met Chelsea's demands, paying approximately €146 million for the 2022 Argentina World Cup winner. Meanwhile, the capital club has begun searching for a replacement.

In the final stages, Manu Kone and Ramin Camara were left with only one option. The former was not opposed to going to London, but his current manager at Roma, Gasperini, closed the door on him.
This makes Ramin Kamara virtually the only option. Although English media reports that Chelsea also tried to contact Arsenal to inquire about Martin Zubimendy, Chelsea spent the entire day yesterday negotiating with Monaco. After their initial offer was rejected, they launched a more aggressive second proposal.
As we previously reported, both sides had reached an agreement on a deal exceeding €50 million late last night. All signs were positive at the time, and it was widely believed the deal would be completed on schedule. However, just minutes before the transfer window closed, the deal fell through. The player, who was supposed to sign a six-year contract, ultimately stayed with his current club. Last night, Chelsea's anger began to surface. Some British media even suggested that this turn of events might affect Enzo Fernandes' transfer to Manchester City. However, the Blues still honored their promise.
All English media outlets have reported that Chelsea are very angry with the French Ligue 1 club.
The Daily Telegraph wrote: "Chelsea are furious after Monaco abruptly cancelled their last-minute deal to sign midfielder Ramin Camara."
The Sun offered a similar account: "The two sides had reached an agreement on the Senegalese talent, but Chelsea ultimately left empty-handed and were furious about the turn of events. Chelsea's management was reportedly shocked by what was described as the Ligue 1 club's highly unprofessional conduct."
The Daily Mail shared the same view, stating that Chelsea considered Monaco "extremely unprofessional." This defeat may have long-term consequences.
