Chelsea have offered AC Milan Kepa Arrizabalaga in part-exchange for Gianluigi Donnarumma, claims <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/chelsea-offer-kepa-in-exchange-for-donnarumma/" target="_blank">Football Insider.</a> Frank Lampard has turned his attention to the pursuit of a new No.1 in what has already been a busy transfer window at Stamford Bridge.

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is the latest summer transfer target for Chelsea, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12528848/declan-rice-chelsea-transfer/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The Hammers rate the player's value as £80 million ($105m) and will do everything in their power to keep him at the club.

Blues aim to complete yet another big signing

Although Lionel Messi now wants to meet Barcelona to discuss his future, but the club are unwilling to enter discussions, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.elperiodico.com/es/barca/20200828/messi-tiende-la-mano-al-barca-para-una-salida-amistosa-8091264" target="_blank">El Periodico</a>. From the club's perspective, either Messi enters talks to renew his deal or there is nothing to discuss. The clause in the Argentine's deal allowing him to leave for free is void, so he will only depart for his €700 million (£624m/$833m) release clause.&nbsp;

Barcelona refuse Messi showdown talks

Inter are not giving up on signing N'Golo Kante from Chelsea, <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/28-08-2020/calciomercato-inter-servono-50-milioni-prendere-kante-3801513966818_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalciomercato%2F28-08-2020%2Fcalciomercato-inter-servono-50-milioni-prendere-kante-3801513966818.shtml" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a> reports. In need of extra energy at the heart of their midfield, they are targeting the France international but will need to spend €50 million (£45m/$60m) to get the Blues to part with him. Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele and Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey are alternatives.

The Blaugrana see the 30-year-old as a potential&nbsp;replacement&nbsp;for Luis Suarez, who is expected to leave Camp Nou in the coming weeks. Immobile won the European Golden Shoe last season, and is currently valued at around €50 million (£45m/$60m).
