Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)

Chelsea have an option to buy, and the club’s recent actions suggest serious consideration of a permanent deal.
All 20 Football Associations of Club World Cup teams
June 1–10, 2025
A special transfer window will open for all 20 Football Associations involved in the 32-team Club World Cup, allowing clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea to buy and sell players during that period.
The window, agreed to by participating nations, is designed to facilitate squad changes ahead of the tournament. Deals like Dean Huijsen’s £50m move from Bournemouth to Real Madrid are already being finalized under this provision.
Bashir Humphreys (Chelsea > Burnley)

Burnley have signed 22-year-old defender Bashir Humphreys from Chelsea on a four-year deal following a successful loan spell.
After making 28 appearances during his loan, Humphreys expressed delight at making the move permanent, praising the club’s togetherness and fan support as Burnley prepare for the Premier League.
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
May 2025
Manchester United have held direct talks with Ipswich striker Liam Delap, who visited Manchester for a face-to-face meeting.
Delap, 22, is considering a £30m move due to a relegation clause in his contract. Chelsea are also interested but no final decision has been made.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Summer 2025
Aston Villa will try to keep Rogers despite Chelsea’s revived interest. The forward is happy at Villa Park, with his contract running until 2030.
Chelsea must submit a significant bid to convince Villa, while Manchester City remain attentive to their former academy player’s rise.
Chelsea vs Liverpool
May 2025
Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Liverpool showcased the long-awaited synergy of their £279m midfield trio — Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, and Romeo Lavia — who started together for only the sixth time but dominated a weakened Liverpool midfield.
Enzo opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, Lavia commanded the middle until subbed, and Caicedo’s late surge earned a penalty for Palmer’s third. With Champions League qualification and a possible Conference League final ahead, Chelsea’s midfield resurgence may yet salvage their season.
Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea)
Summer 2025
Christopher Nkunku has decided to leave Chelsea despite being under contract until 2029, feeling unsettled after a mixed debut season at the club.
Talks are ongoing with clubs like PSG, Newcastle, and Liverpool. Nkunku joined for £52m in 2023 and has scored 14 goals this season across all competitions.
Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea)
May 2025
Chelsea have no intention of selling midfield stars Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo, despite interest from Real Madrid and Saudi clubs. Both remain central to the club’s long-term plans.
Fernández is under contract until 2031 after a £110m move from Benfica, while Caicedo signed an eight-year deal last summer worth up to £115m. Chelsea will focus instead on strengthening other positions this summer.
Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea)
April 2025
Leverkusen are eyeing a move for Kepa following a successful loan spell at Bournemouth, viewing him as a long-term replacement for Hradecky.
Kepa has revived his career post-Chelsea through consistent loan performances. The 30-year-old could become Leverkusen’s new No. 1 this summer.
