Chelsea have been strongly linked with Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy this summer with Chelsea boss Frank Lampard keen on signing a goalkeeper following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s struggles in goal for the Blues last season.
According to RMC Sport, Mendy has already agreed a five year deal to join Chelsea but the Blues and Rennes are reportedly yet to agree a transfer fee for the 28 year old goalkeeper.
Chelsea have already had a £14million bid for Mendy rejected by Rennes who are reportedly holding out for 23m for their goalkeeper.
However, it appears it will only be a matter of time before a move is sanction following Holveck’s admission in a press conference on Wednesday.
When asked about Mendy’s ongoing situation, Holveck said: “We’ve started official negotiations with Chelsea to sell Edouard Mendy.
“We know the player wants to leave [and join Chelsea]. But the agreement at the moment is not 100 per cent completed between the three parts.”
Please do fast and sign mendy
I personally disgrace , that Chelsea is trying everything as much as possible to sign new goalkeeper, but for me this absolutely nonsense news to me. Because we spent almost enormous amount of money with kepa within two seasons, we are throwing at of squad to me , it’s doesn’t make sense at all
