Chelsea have yet to make a signing this January, but as the window nears its conclusion, the club is expected to make last-minute moves. The Blues are reportedly pursuing Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho as a key attacking addition, while Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel is likely heading elsewhere. Aston Villa’s interest in Joao Felix could lead to a late deal, and there are strong indications that Ben Chilwell will also leave Stamford Bridge. In addition to these moves, Chelsea are working on outgoings for Axel Disasi, Cesare Casadei, and Carney Chukwuemeka. The club is aiming to balance their squad while complying with Financial Fair Play regulations. Whether they secure a marquee signing or settle for minor adjustments remains to be seen, but deadline day is expected to be busy at Stamford Bridge.
- Chelsea are pushing for a late move for Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
- Mathys Tel is unlikely to join Chelsea, with Tottenham reportedly leading the race.
- Joao Felix is expected to leave, with Aston Villa keen to sign him before the deadline.
- Ben Chilwell is likely to depart, though his destination remains uncertain.
- Axel Disasi, Cesare Casadei, and Carney Chukwuemeka could all be moved out, either on loan or permanently.
- Chelsea’s recruitment strategy is focused on late, opportunistic deals rather than planned acquisitions.
- Financial Fair Play remains a key concern, influencing both incomings and outgoings.
With deadline day approaching fast, Chelsea fans can expect a frantic finish as the club attempts to strengthen their squad and offload unwanted players.
