Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea)
April 2025
Christopher Nkunku reportedly believes his time at Chelsea is over and is awaiting the club’s decision on potential summer exit options.
After a disappointing, injury-hit spell, Nkunku is open to leaving, with Chelsea now exploring possible destinations to offload the attacker ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
April 2025
Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Fulham triggered their obligation to sign Sancho permanently, as they secured a finish above 15th in the league.
The club can still cancel the deal by paying a £5 million fee, but a full transfer may proceed for up to £25 million.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Napoli are all eyeing a summer move for Garnacho, who could leave Manchester United for £70 million.
Napoli previously had a £42 million bid rejected as they seek a replacement for Kvaratskhelia. United remain firm on their valuation, and it’s unclear if any club will meet the price.
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.
