With just two days left in the transfer window, Chelsea remain active in the market, particularly in trying to offload several players. The club is still exploring options for a midfielder and a striker, though no major breakthroughs have been reported. Joao Felix remains a key potential sale, with AC Milan and Aston Villa interested, while Carney Chukwuemeka, Axel Disasi, and Ben Chilwell are also expected to leave. Meanwhile, striker options such as Evan Ferguson and Liam Delap are being considered, but Chelsea may struggle to finalise deals before the deadline.
- Outgoings Expected: Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, Cesare Casadei (Torino), Carney Chukwuemeka (Dortmund or Fulham), and Ben Chilwell (Crystal Palace) could all leave.
- Midfield Search: Chelsea are still pursuing a midfielder, with Douglas Luiz the only known name linked so far.
- Striker Targets: Evan Ferguson is undergoing a medical at West Ham, making a Chelsea hijack unlikely. Liam Delap and Viktor Gyokeres remain possible targets, though summer moves seem more realistic.
- Defensive Loan Moves: Aaron Anselmino is keen on a loan to Marseille, and Marc Guiu may also leave if a new striker is signed.
- Potential Last-Minute Business: Chelsea could surprise fans with unexpected signings, but the club's focus remains on making sales to facilitate new arrivals.
- Uncertainty over Christopher Nkunku: The forward wants to leave, but Chelsea’s £70m valuation is a stumbling block.
With little time remaining, Chelsea must act quickly if they are to strengthen the squad before the window closes.
