Hernandez was the third homegrown player ever signed by FCD.
PSG STILL WANT KANTE
The French side are still pushing for the World Cup winner
Paris Saint-Germain are not giving up their chase of Chelsea star N’Golo Kante, the Mirror reports.
The Blues have offered the midfielder a deal that will make him the best paid player on their squad, but PSG have the money to top that offer.
Having won the World Cup with France this summer, Kante has also been the Ligue 1 giant’s top target since they brought manager Thomas Tuchel on board, even though the Premier League outfit are desperate to keep him.
NANTES LEAD CHASE FOR CHELSEA’S MIAZGA
Ligue 1 side Nantes are the leaders in the chase to sign USMNT defender Matt Miazga from Chelsea, according to Foot Mercato.
Caen are also in the race for the defender who has been spent the majority of his time on loan to Vitesse in Netherlands since joining the Blues.
GLADBACH PUT €20M PRICETAG ON HAZARD
Borussia Monchengladbach have put a €20 million (£18m/$23m) price on Thorgan Hazard, according to Foot Mercato.
Sevilla and Roma are both keeping tabs on the midfielder, though the Bundesliga side claim to have done their transfer business already and are in no need to offload another player.
VILLA WANT CHELSEA’S ABRAHAM ON LOAN
Aston Villa want to add Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham on loan for the season, but the forward would like to stay in the Premier League, according to the Daily Mail.
The 20-year-old spent last season with Swansea and would like to spend this season at a club in the top-flight as well, though his scoring cooled later in the season and he may need the step down in class to find his finishing boots again.
INTER APPROACH LUKA MODRIC
Luciano Spalletti’s side approach World Cup finalist
Inter are targeting a move for Real Madrid star Luka Modric this summer, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
The Serie A side have made contact with the midfielder’s agent already and he discussed a potential move with Croatia team-mates and Inter players Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic during the World Cup.
As a result of their interest in Modric, the Nerazzurri are holding back on their pursuit of Arturo Vidal.
REAL MADRID APPROACHED KANE & SALAH
Spanish giants have made contact with Premier League stars
Real Madrid have made approaches for Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane during this transfer window, claims El Pais.
After the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo, the end of their pursuit of Eden Hazard and having to deny approaches for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the European champions are looking for more star attackers to strengthen their attack.
Madrid sounded out Salah and Kane through intermediaries, but the Liverpool star is happy and committed to Liverpool after signing a new contract, while Kane was indifferent towards the Santiago Bernabeu team
VALENCIA TARGET BATSHUAYI
Valencia are interested in signing Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea, The Mirror reports.
After impressing on loan at Borussia Dortmund, the Belgian striker is willing to leave Chelsea to secure regular first-team football and Valencia hope they can lure him with the promise of playing in the Champions League.
EMERY MUST SELL BEFORE ARSENAL WILL SIGN N’ZONZI
Unai Emery is determined to bring Steven N’Zonzi to Arsenal, but has been told he will have to sell players before the club will sanction a move, says The Daily Mail.
The Spanish coach has already recruited Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi this summer, using up most of his transfer budget.
The coach sees World Cup winner N’Zonzi as an ideal signing but a few of his current crop must be offloaded first.
WITSEL NEARS €20M DORTMUND MOVE
Axel Witsel is close to joining Borussia Dortmund in a €20 million move from Tianjin Quanjian, Marca claims.
The Belgian midfielder had a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave the Chinese club for that price and is set to end his adventure in the Super League after 18 months.
