Brentford break club record for Sangare as Mudryk returns and Enzo Fernandez waits

Romano's latest transfer briefing touches on Bruno Guimarães's links with Arsenal, Antonio Silva's Bournemouth move, Chelsea's clear-out, Enzo Fernandez's situation, Ter Stegen to Ajax and Julian Brandt's surprise transfer. Brentford have won the race for Lens midfielder Sangare after agreeing a £41 million package. Romano said the player is in England for his medical and contract signing, and described Sangare as a hugely talented Malian midfielder who attracted interest from several clubs across Europe. It is a club-record signing for Brentford. Bournemouth have landed one of Europe's most highly rated young defenders, Antonio Silva, from Benfica. The move had been delayed because Benfica wanted to secure European football before giving the green light. A 5-0 victory secured that, and Silva has now traveled for his medical. The fee is €25 million plus €5 million in add-ons. Chelsea's busy summer has shifted toward exits. After completing deals for Maxence Lacroix, Daniel Welbeck, Jordan Henderson and Morgan Rogers, manager Xabi Alonso has made it clear he wants to trim the squad. Como have returned for Trevoh Chalobah with a new €30 million guaranteed offer, after two earlier proposals were rejected. The defender has an agreement with the Italian club worth €4 million net per season and wants the move to Italy. Benoit Badiashile is another player who could leave Chelsea. Napoli have the defender on their shortlist after Alessandro Buongiorno's injury, with Federico Gatti also under consideration. Romano says Badiashile is open to the switch because Napoli can offer Champions League football, and both he and Chalobah are expected to depart this summer. There is also a return on the horizon for Chelsea. Mykhailo Mudryk's doping case is behind him, and he will travel on Sunday to join the squad in Hong Kong for pre-season. Romano says Chelsea will assess him throughout August before deciding whether to keep him or send him out on loan. Mudryk has been training alone and is determined to get back on the pitch. Enzo Fernandez remains an outstanding issue. Romano dismissed Real Madrid as a destination and said the Argentina midfielder's agent is returning to Europe after being in the United States for the World Cup. Meetings are planned next week with Chelsea and with Fernandez, who is still on holiday.
