Tuesday's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup: David Alaba, Paulo Dybala, Callum Hudson-Odoi

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Tuesday, December 8.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Chelsea among the busiest clubs and biggest spenders in world football.

After two windows without signing a single player, the Blues made up for lost time by splashing well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. Attention will now switch to the January window and whether Chelsea will invest heavily again.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Tuesday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Chelsea 'want to sign David Alaba in January'

Chelsea are reportedly determined to bring Bayern Munich defender David Alaba to the club during the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old has still not penned a new contract at the Allianz Arena, and as it stands, he will be available on a free transfer at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Alaba, if his situation remains unchanged, could enter into contract talks with foreign clubs at the start of 2021, and a number of teams are said to be interested in his services.

However, according to Bild, Chelsea want to sign him in January and hope that Bayern will be tempted to negotiate a mid-season deal with the Blues rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.

Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also all been credited with an interest in the Austria international.

The versatile defender has made 15 appearances for Bayern during the 2020-21 campaign, while he has represented the Champions League holders over 400 times in all competitions.



Juventus forward Paulo Dybala 'offered to big six'

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is reportedly ready to join a Premier League club during the summer transfer window.

After Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur failed to sign the Argentina international in 2019, the 27-year-old went on to become a key player under Maurizio Sarri.

However, it has been a different story since Andrea Pirlo's arrival, with Dybala contributing just one goal from 10 appearances in all competitions.

According to 90 min, Dybala's representatives have informed the top six clubs in England that he is prepared to consider a move to the Premier League.

Just 19 months remain on the attacker's contract, giving United, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal an opportunity to sign him for a cut-price fee.

The financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic may result in Dybala needing to take a pay cut, a factor in why a move to England has not materialised in the past.
