Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea)
April 2025
Al Nassr are targeting Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo as a “dream” summer signing and are willing to pay a club-record fee.
Caicedo cost Chelsea over £100M in 2023 and has six years left on his contract. The Blues are reluctant to sell unless a massive offer arrives.
Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), João Félix (Chelsea)
April 2025
Benfica are targeting summer returns for academy graduates Bernardo Silva (Man City) and João Félix (Chelsea, on loan at AC Milan).
Silva, under contract until 2026, has a €50M release clause that Benfica hope to negotiate down. Félix has underperformed on loan at Milan, and Benfica aim to secure him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Chelsea
April 2025
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca could see his summer transfer budget reduced by £70M if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League, with their current 6th-place standing putting a top-five finish at risk.
Missing out on UCL for a third straight year could cost Chelsea £70M in potential earnings. Champions League qualification offers up to £90M in revenue, while Europa League participation would bring in only £20M.
Renato Veiga (Chelsea)
April 2025
Juventus are working to complete a permanent transfer for Renato Veiga, aiming to include him in their squad for the FIFA Club World Cup.
Veiga joined on loan in January and has made seven Serie A starts. Juve want to negotiate down Chelsea’s €50M asking price to secure the 21-year-old full-back long-term.
Georginio Rutter (Brighton & Hove Albion)
April 2025
Chelsea are monitoring 22-year-old forward Georginio Rutter as a potential transfer target. Despite being sidelined with a foot injury, Rutter has impressed this season with 8 goals and 4 assists for Brighton.
Rutter’s versatility and attacking output have caught Chelsea’s attention ahead of upcoming windows. The French forward is under contract until 2028, making negotiations potentially complex if interest becomes formal.
Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP)
April 2025
Chelsea have opened discussions to sign Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP, with a potential bid worth £65M. The Swedish forward is a top target for manager Enzo Maresca.
Gyökeres would compete with Nicolas Jackson for minutes next season. Chelsea are also tracking Victor Osimhen, who returns to Napoli from Galatasaray after a loan spell.
Yahia Fofana (Angers)
April 2025
Chelsea have joined the race to sign Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana, following strong form for club and country. He is also being tracked by Newcastle, Brentford, and Wolves.
Didier Drogba reportedly recommended the Ivorian stopper to Chelsea, impressed by Fofana’s performances over the past year. The Blues are actively scouting him ahead of a possible summer bid.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Chelsea are preparing a £50M-plus-player offer to re-sign Palace captain Marc Guéhi. The Eagles want £70M but could accept Trevoh Chalobah as part of the deal, who is valued by Chelsea at £30M.
Palace are reportedly resigned to losing Guéhi amid interest from Liverpool and Newcastle. Chelsea are acting quickly, boosted by club legend Didier Drogba’s continued influence and scouting support.
22 Holdco Ltd (Chelsea’s parent company)
April 2025 (latest financial accounts)
Chelsea’s parent company, 22 Holdco Ltd, has recorded losses exceeding £1 billion across the past two seasons, primarily due to heavy spending on player investments. The group also carries over £1bn in debt.
While Chelsea FC posted a £129.6m profit—thanks to strategic sales of hotels and the women’s team—these transactions were not applicable as taxable income for the parent firm. Losses totalled £445.5m last season and £653m the year prior.
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
Summer 2025
Chelsea are leading the race to sign Liam Delap for £30m if Ipswich are relegated, with Manchester United also interested.
Delap is familiar to Maresca and Chelsea’s scouting lead Joe Shields. His Premier League-ready profile and 12-goal season make him a valuable target.
