Anyone heard any rumours about Chelsea looking to sign Bernard of Shaktar Donetsk?

Yeah it seems to come out of nowhere but a couple of reliable sources have stated we may be signing the guy. Plays as a CAM but can also play on either wing so he's versatile atleast. Not that great of a player and is nowhere near better than what we already have but he's free and it hasn't stopped us from signing such players in the past. We're starting to leave things late again which isn't great as it can lead to more panic buys. Only positive is that a few other clubs are in the same position.

Bernard is a decent little player, a couple of years ago he was making a lot of noise from Ukraine, Chelsea were interested back and so were Man City. His 25, he will cost us nothing, opportunity to fit into Sarri's style of play. Even if it doesn't work out then at the end there will be profit on resale. Good move for me.

However we still need to complete other deals, I suspect we've thrown all our eggs into 1 basket and want the Juventus pair. If it it doesn't work out then expect panic buys which I don't like the idea of.

I think realistically we can expect our transfers to be;

Jorginho
Rugani
Higuain
Gk (maybe Butland)
Green
Bernard (maybe)
Martial (If Willian goes the other way)

Yea CFCShak, if Chelsea can sign Bernard it'll be a very smart piece of business, he's obviously more experienced than Golovin that we just missed out on (I am guessing Chelsea missed out on Golovin on purpose- cos they want to sign him) .
Most times when people hear that a player is free agent it looks like the player isn't good enough or is spent and just wants run down his deal with his club BUT in the case of this guy it's not true. He intentionally didn't want to extend his deal with Shaktar Donetsk (even when they repeatedly offered him an extension time after time) .

Bernard is calculated risk that could pay off very well.

Only what I’ve seen online, didn’t realise he was a free transfer though.

Apparently Bernard has agreed to join us on a free after leaving Shakhtar - apparently.

A squad filler - although it would seem a fair few teams were interested.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, he was being offered around before the takeover, but not sure what is happening with him now.}

I saw that Bailey has turned down a move to an English team ed018 do you know who that is? If it was us who would you think we would go for now? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Can’t remember where I seen it but I think it was Bayern Munich.
Batshuayi swap for Pulisic would also be a good move.

NWBLUE it was an English team that made an approach.

Agree0 Disagree0

I know of Bayern Munich but if he turned down any English team it will probably be Manchester City.
