🔹 Latest Chelsea Transfer Updates:

🚪 Outgoings:

• Axel Disasi to Tottenham:
  • Loan deal agreed (no buy option), but Disasi rejected Spurs as he prefers Aston Villa.
    ‍
  • Chelsea don’t want him going to a Champions League rival, so the move is stalled.
    ‍
• Joao Felix’s future uncertain:
  • Aston Villa unwilling to meet Chelsea’s £60m price tag for the forward.
    ‍
  • Loan move unlikely, meaning Felix may stay at Chelsea or move abroad.
    ‍
• Cesare Casadei to Torino – ✅ Done Deal
  • Permanent move after six weeks of negotiations.
    ‍
• Carney Chukwuemeka to Dortmund?
  • Chelsea refuse to include a buy option, insisting on a dry loan only.
    ‍
  • Dortmund reluctant, deal could collapse.

🆕 Potential Incomings:

• Chelsea targeting young midfielders instead of first-team reinforcements:
  • Nico O’Reilly (19, Man City) – Enquiry made.
    ‍
  • Mathis Amougou (19, Saint-Étienne) – Interest remains.
    ‍
• Mathys Tel deal collapsed:
  • Bayern Munich & Man United talks broke down, meaning United may turn to Nkunku.
    ‍
  • If Nkunku moves, Chelsea could finally bid for a striker – but time is running out.

🚨 The Big Issue: No Striker Signed – Again

• Chelsea have now failed to sign a proper No.9 for FIVE consecutive transfer windows.
  ‍
• Evan Ferguson is heading to West Ham, despite Chelsea’s interest.
  ‍
• Liam Delap remains an option, but Ipswich demand £50m+.
  ‍
• No movement for Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko, despite long-term interest.

🔍 Chelsea’s Current Transfer Strategy:

• Waiting for player sales before committing to new signings.
  ‍
• Prioritising youth signings instead of immediate first-team reinforcements.
  ‍
• Potentially gambling on last-minute deals.

🗣️ Frustration from Sources & Fans

• Sources within Chelsea are baffled by the lack of urgency.
  ‍
• No movement for a striker unless Nkunku or Felix is sold.
  ‍
• Sporting Directors Stewart & Winstanley criticised for failing to act.

With 24 hours left, Chelsea fans are losing patience as the club fails to address key squad weaknesses. The lack of a No.9 could prove costly, especially with Champions League qualification on the line.⏳ What to Expect on Deadline Day?

• Chilwell to Crystal Palace ✅ (almost done).
• Final decision on Disasi’s loan destination.
• Possible late move for a striker (if Nkunku or Felix leaves).
• Midfield signing still possible – but not a priority.
