News from Bilbao: after Peter Kenyon started to reach a deal with Milan for
Kakha Kaladza, Chelsea now want to put pressure on Athletic Bilbao for a
final answer as regards the purchase of Asier Del Horno. And they want that
answer in the next 48 hours.


It's a local newspaper in the Basque country - El Correo de Bilbao - which
reports that the negotiations for the transfer of left-back Asier Del Horno
will be decided, one way or another, this weekend, as Chelsea have asked
Bilbao for a final answer in the next 48 hours.


Negotiations between Chelsea and Athletic appeared to have reached a dead end
since an Athletic delegation (headed by club President Fernando Lamikiz) went
to London last week to meet with Peter Kenyon, and Chelsea are trying to
unblock them. Chelsea's intentions are now clear: they were only prepared to
sit down with Athletic once they had reached a preliminary agreement with Milan
for the transfer of Kakha Kaladze, the Rosineri left-back from Georgia,
therefore allowing Chelsea not only a fall-back position should discussions on
Del Horno fail, but also put pressure on Athletic. That happened yesterday when
our Peter met in Milan with Adriano Galliani, Milan's head suit. "We'll meet
again next week to discuss these questions in more detail", Kenyon said as he
left Milan. Of course, another of those 'questions' was the fate of Hernan
Crespo, Chelsea player on loan to Milan for the moment.


Apparently Milan have suggested that Kaladze is worth a cool €15 million.
Chelsea reckon that that's a gross over-evaluation. Which is why Kenyon has
turned back to Athletic in their search for a left-back. Chelsea haven't given
Athletic a definite timetable for meetings, but their position is nevertheless
one of power: Athletic value Asier Del Horno very highly, but there are very
few clubs that can pay €16 million for a defender. Which is why Chelsea are
in a position to set the timetable for a possible purchase of Del Horno.


Athletic don't have an appointment with Chelsea yet, but it is said that
Athletic are taking very seriously Chelsea's meeting in Milan. It is not clear
whether Kenyon will be visiting Bilbao, but the condition is that Chelsea feel
that Athletic are likely to accept something close to Chelsea's offer, which
is for €12 million in cash and a further €4 in various incentives. That makes
a total of €16 million; Athletic would like the transfer fee to consist of a
higher proportion in cash.


If Athletic respond quickly, Kenyon could be on the plane to tie up the deal
within hours. Or so it is said. Del Horno, who last night finished his
obligations to the Spanish national shirt, is now on holiday. Says the Spanish
press, the player himself is prepared to break off from his holidays to take
part in any crunch meeting about his transfer.
