Andre Onana makes Barcelona decision
Chelsea have suffered a blow in the chase for Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana. Frank Lampard is interested in signing the 24-year-old shot stopper but a return to Barcelona appears to be on the cards.
According to Sport, he has decided to wait for Barcelona, despite the mounting interest in his services, with Paris Saint-Germain also keen.
Nou Camp officials like Onana because of his age, Champions League experience and ability on the ball.
Ajax want €40m (£35m) for their goalkeeper but could be left waiting for Barcelona to firm up their interest.

Chelsea made an offer for Neymar
Chelsea tried to sign Neymar back in 2010, according to agent Wagner Ribeiro.
"There were many calls for him," Ribeiro recalled to AS.
"I received an official offer from Chelsea the day Neymar debuted with the Brazilian team in 2010.
"They made an offer, we studied it, but in the end we didn’t decide anything. On that occasion, we transferred it to Neymar’s father and the player himself.
"Then came other offers from Bayern Munich and Juventus, with whom I had a meeting in Turin."
At the time Chelsea had just won the Premier League and were managed by Carlo Ancelotti.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang raid still planned
Chelsea will reportedly push ahead with their plans to bring in a new striker despite Olivier Giroud agreeing a contract extension. Frank Lampard has created a list of forward targets which includes Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Giroud has played a back-up role to Tammy Abraham this season and he was expected to move on when his contract expires in the summer.
However, the 33-year-old is set to pen a one-year extension at Stamford Bridge.
That has left many supporters wondering if the Blues will still dip into the market for more firepower.
And Football London claim Chelsea will still look at adding another striker to their ranks.

Chelsea warned over making Philippe Coutinho swoop
Chelsea need to forget about making a move to sign Philippe Coutinho this summer, because the Blues would be better off fixing their problems in other positions instead.
That's the opinion of former Chelsea player Craig Burley.
Speaking on ESPN FC, he explained that he feels the Blues' squad is lacking both in defence and attack.
"I'm not sure if this is a go-er, exactly," he said.
"They've got a handful of playmakers already, albeit more natural wide players.
"Mason Mount made a big impact in a short period of time after playing in the Championship just 12 or 18 months ago.
