Chelsea Transfer Talk : Jose Mourinho prepares £26m second bid for John Stones

Chelsea will make their £26m second offer for Everton defender John Stones inside of the following 48 hours,as they search for a long term replacement for John Terry.

The Everton are demanding around £34million, which would break British record expense for a defender.

The Champions, notwithstanding, will offer £26m in the wake of having a £20million offer rejected two weeks back.

Everton supervisor Roberto Martinez and owner Bill Kenwright have so far demanded the England global is not available to be purchased.

But,Chelsea are quick to sign him before the begin of the new season, perhaps even before Sunday's Community Shield against Arsenal. In spite of that, the Londoners are resolved not to be held to ransom.

It's felt that Chelsea need him before the begin of the new Premier League season, and would in a perfect world have his marking wrapped up before this current weekend's Community Shield match against Arsenal.

The club have all the earmarks of being attempting to utilize the media to persuade Stones to move to Stamford Bridge, with Blues focus back Gary Cahill lauding him, saying: "I saw he was exceptionally agreeable on the ball from the first occasion when I saw him with England.

"I am certain in the following couple of years he will round out, take in a ton and conceivably he can be a fabulous player.""When a top club comes calling, who you know will be terminating on all fronts with rivalries and decorations, that is eventually what you need to be playing for. It's difficult to turn down obvious."
