Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has urged the Blues to end their interest in signing Frenkie de Jong and instead sign a midfielder in the mould of Casemiro or Rodri.

With just over three weeks remaining in the transfer window, Manchester United are scrambling to make late additions to the squad.
Real Madrid will begin their LaLiga title defence against promoted Almeria on Sunday but they will be under no illusion that the biggest obstacle in their pursuit of a 36th title will be a revamped and hungry Barcelona side. Real completed the double last season by claiming a record-extending 35th LaLiga title before conquering Europe too, winning a record-extending 14th Champions League title. Carlo Ancelotti will be relying on almost the same group of victorious players to leave their mark on this season. The additions of former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger as a free-agent and France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco for a fee that could rise up to 100 million euros will further strengthen the squad. With 34-year-old French striker Karim Benzema and 22-year-old Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr forming a potent duo up front, Real have a fine mix of youth and experience to tackle the toughest challenges, such as in their amazing run of comebacks against Paris St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in last year's Champions League. Determined to end their three-year La Liga title drought, Barcelona were Europe's biggest spenders in the close season as they splashed out around 150 million euros ($155.21 million) to assemble an all-star team, signing Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, Brazil winger Raphinha from Leeds United and defender Jules Kounde from Sevilla.
Barca tell De Jong: Take it or leave Frenkie de Jong’s agents are in Barcelona ahead of a meeting with club officials to discuss the Dutch midfielder’s future at the Camp Nou. Spanish media outlet Sport reveal that Barca are going to inform the player’s representatives that he has two options: reduce his current salary or leave Barcelona for Chelsea. The club are “tired of waiting for De Jong to decide” so are handing him an ultimatum.
THURSDAY'S BIG STORIES If It Ain't Broke Ad Carlo Ancelotti doesn't seem a man given to showing off. All football managers have a fairly sizeable ego, of course, otherwise the job would be impossible. The dressing room would eat them alive.
One of the big talking points heading into the new season was how Jack Grealish might fare in his second year at Manchester City. On the evidence so far, the answer seems to be pretty well.
Manchester United fans were keen to watch PSV play Monaco in the third qualifying round of the Champions League playoffs on Tuesday. The fanbase had not become Dutch or French football aficionados, merely the game had 'consequences' for United.
