Chelsea were very quiet at the beginning of the transfer window with Jose Mourinho playing down any potential departures or signings. However, with The Telegraph reporting that both Mohammed Salah and Andre Schurrle could be off in the coming few weeks, it seems that the Chelsea boss will need to bring in some new faces to make sure his squad is ready to continue competing in four separate competitions. Vincenzo Montella rules out selling Man United and Chelsea target Juan Cuadrado One man who has been linked with Chelsea is Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi, as reported by the Telegraph. Despite this, The Express have reported that the Argentine will not be leaving the Serie A outfit and is on the verge of signing a new contract to keep him at the San Siro for at least the next four years. There have been persistent rumours that Icardi would leave Inter for around £30 million and Chelsea were understood to have been fast-tracking a deal for the striker last week, according to The Metro. Nonetheless, FIFA agent Vincenzo Morabito has now revealed that although Inter must sell a key player by the beginning of next season — due to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations — it will not be the 21-year-old. Morabito told ilsussidiario.net: “I’m a little surprised by these rumours as Chelsea have Diego Costa and Didier Drogba in attack. They do not want another striker. “Diego Costa is doing big things and it seems unlikely Icardi will be owned by Chelsea. “I think there are plans in place at this time in which there is to be discussions over the renewal of the player’s contract.” Chelsea, in other news, have been strongly linked with Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado and The Telegraph are reporting that the Blues are in talks with the player already. Icardi has scored 10 goals in the Serie A this season in 19 appearances Read more at squawka/news/agent-reveals-that-it-seems-unlikely-mauro-icardi-will-be-owned-by-chelsea/281041#liwMLsXUpwZb1rQl.99
