Chelsea Transfer Roundup: City Chase Neto, Xhaka Deal Dead, Acheampong and Badiashile in the Spotlight

The summer window is heating up at Stamford Bridge, and a flurry of reports has put several Chelsea stars in the crosshairs of Europe's elite. From Pedro Neto's potential departure to a collapsed move for Granit Xhaka, here's the latest. Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is pushing for a reunion with winger Pedro Neto, according to the media. With Savinho and Omar Marmoush facing uncertain futures at the Etihad, City see Neto as a prime target. Chelsea have yet to set a price, but the West London club is aware of interest from Liverpool and Saudi Arabian sides as well. The Blues believe the inflated market for wide players - with the likes of Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande valued above €120m - could help them command a significant fee for the 26-year-old Portuguese international. Granit Xhaka will not be joining Chelsea this summer. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris shut down any speculation after the Blues had multiple offers rejected earlier this month. "No, this topic is closed," Le Bris said following Sunderland's 4-2 friendly loss to Liverpool. "He has been really clear about his future. He loves Sunderland, he wants to stay in Sunderland. He is a good captain. Great leader." Liverpool could turn to Bayer Leverkusen's Josh Acheampong after Joe Gomez went off injured in the same friendly. The Liverpool Echo has floated Acheampong as a possible replacement, though no formal talks have taken place. Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso considers the defender untouchable, but Chelsea's need to sell could open the door later in the window. Napoli have entered the race for Benoit Badiashile. The Serie A side, hit by an injury to Alessandro Buongiorno, are reportedly ready to offer the French defender a three-year contract. A number of unnamed Premier League clubs are also interested, and Chelsea had previously attempted to use Badiashile in a swap deal for Crystal Palace's Maxence Lacroix. With Badiashile falling out of favor last season, the Blues are keen to cash in.
