HERE ARE THE good, the bad, and the unlikely football moves being talked about today…
Antonio Conte is about to add another block in the rebuilding of Roman’s Empire by breaking the club’s transfer record with the signing of 25-year-old Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. The Senegal international is set to cost the Stamford Bridge club £60 million.
Cesc Fabregas though has no interest in moving to Italy, and will turn down any offer from the Serie A giants Juventus. Juan Cuadrado however is desperate to return to Turin.
Another experienced international defender could be about to join the Premier League, with Jürgen Klopp looking to move forPorto’s Bruno Martins Indi. The Dutch international is most comfortable in the heart of the defence, but in better news for Liverpool fans, he has spent a large part of his career as a left-back.
Marseille’s Georges-Kevin N’Koudou (no, me neither), could be about to become Tottenham’s third signing of the summer. The 21-year-old French winger will swap the south of France for north London in a deal involving Clinton N’Jie going in the opposite way on loan, and the handing over of £11 million.
Joe Hart has reportedly told his Manchester City teammates that he will leave the club before the end of the window. Everton are said to be interested in England’s first-choice goalkeeper.
The rumours of Hart’s departure are set to intensify as Barcelona close in on Valencia goalkeeperDiego Alves, leaving the door open for Claudio Bravo to join Pep at City.

Finally, Jose Mourinho’s youth policy of getting rid of the club’s young players is in full swing, with James Wilson having to pick between going on loan to either Fulham or Derby.
Retro Deal of the Day: James Milner to Manchester City (2010)
Six years ago the former England international midfielder made the big money move to Manchester, joining City from Aston Villa for an estimated £26 million, with Stephen Ireland thrown in for good measure.
During his five years at the Etihad, the 29-year-old won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the League Cup. But after being told he would have a reduced role in the first-team, Milner decided to move to Liverpool after making 125 appearances scoring 18 goals.
Stephen Ireland on the other hand is still living in a Stephen Ireland world.

The Dutch international is most comfortable in the heart of the defence, but in better news for Liverpool fans, he has spent a large part of his career as a left-back.
One defender that looks to be staying put is Jonny Evans. West Brom see no need in selling the former Manchester United defender to Arsenal for £16 million.
