Chelsea contacted his camp this morning to increase his personal terms and encourage him to stall the move to Liverpool. It’s all pretty grubby and he is at the centre of it
Yep openly publicising his desire to only join Chelsea before we have agreed a fee with them weakening our negotiating position and putting the transfer at risk is both stupid and distasteful.
