Chelsea are looking to bring in new faces in multiple positions. Well, the Blues are always active in the transfer market.

They have already signed multiple players and are ready to let go of many of their current players.

After a successful season last year where they won the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, the Chelsea board is ready to back their manager.

Enzo Maresca knows the type of players he needs to make Chelsea competitive on the domestic and European fronts.

However, the same cannot be said about one of Chelsea’s old rivals, Manchester United.

The Red Devils had a terrible season last year, and they will not feature in Europe this year, which is a rarity.

They also had to change their manager mid-way through the season when Erik ten Hag was replaced by Ruben Amorim.

However, things went from bad to worse, and Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League table.

To make matters worse, they lost the Europa League final, which was their only hope of playing in Europe.

After that, attracting the right players to sign for Manchester United has become very tough. Most of their targets are rejecting them because they are not in Europe.

However, the Red Devils were able to pull off three good signings:  Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.

Now, Ruben Amorim wants to add a new goalkeeper to his ranks and replace Andre Onana. The Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca, is also trying to do the same.

Both of these Premier League giants have now opened talks to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG, according to Fichajes.

Also, the Italian is set to miss the UEFA Super Cup game in Italy as Luis Enrique decided not to take him to the Stadio Friuli.

With the way things are moving in Paris, it looks like Donnarumma’s time with the French champions is up.
