Chelsea 'offered Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar transfers' as Jules Kounde saga takes twist

Chelsea have irons in the fire all over the place at the moment and Blues fans can expect a flurry of signings over the next few days.

New owner Todd Boehly and his consortium are determined to back manager Thomas Tuchel in the transfer market and are now extremely active trying to do deals. Tuchel still wants to sign two defenders and two forwards, but could be in the market for reinforcements in the centre of the pitch too.

And with teams already back in pre-season training and players beginning to decide their futures, things look set to heat up. Here, Mirror sport looks at the latest Chelsea rumours...

Being offered the chance to sign one world renowned sporting icon in a transfer window is one thing. Being offered TWO in the same window is almost unheard of.

But that is what the Evening Standard say has happened to Chelsea with Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar's future at Paris St-Germain is in doubt after their failure to win the Champions League during his time there, and Ronaldo has told Manchester United he wants out.
