Chelsea’s summer transfer strategy is gearing up to be a massive overhaul, with the club open to offers for Noni Madueke, potential moves for Christopher Nkunku, and plans to adjust the squad as many players return from loan.
According to sources cited by Si Phillips, Chelsea are planning a major summer swoop that could see a significant reshuffle of the squad. The club’s decision-makers have been reviewing the January window and are now preparing their "bomb squad" for the next phase. Despite Enzo Maresca’s strong belief in Noni Madueke’s potential, the club is reportedly open to offers for him—provided the price is right—reflecting a willingness to capitalise on his market value. In addition, Chelsea are considering a move for a top LaLiga winger, while also exploring options for offloading players who have returned from loan spells but are not part of Maresca’s long-term plans.
The reports further reveal that Chelsea are weighing several significant moves: Christopher Nkunku is expected to be moved on if a suitor can meet Chelsea’s high valuation, and Jadon Sancho is set to join permanently with verbally agreed terms already in place. Moreover, Andrey Santos is slated to return to the squad in the summer, and the club is looking to sell fringe midfield players. Although Moises Caicedo is considered untouchable, several players have break clauses that could be triggered if Chelsea fail to meet certain targets, such as Champions League qualification. There remains lingering uncertainty regarding Mykhailo Mudryk’s future, as the situation continues to be eerily quiet.
