🔵Sancho and also to some extent Enzo Maresca was a Joe Shields move.

Breaking News Chelsea are considering whether to pay a “significant fee” to get out of their obligation to buy Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer. [@PeteHall86]

🚨🚨 #Chelsea continue to heavily scout 17-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from LOSC Lille. Real Madrid are considering moving forward with an attempt to sign Enzo Fernández in the summer. @Sebasrur via Radio Continental.

Since the full tactic of Maresca has prevailed at Chelsea with always the intevenieren of the right/left defenders. All players except for Cucu from time to time Enzo Caicedo was already great before Maresca only had to adapt the rest of the players have only gotten worse since then and have improved zero. If we don't watch out now, Maresca Estevao and co. will chase us away, best example Palmer....

Maresca: “It’s a shame because we lost but with the amount of injuries we had we competed very well”

Arsenal's Jurrien Timber tells Enzo Maresca to ‘try harder’ before shaking his hand. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Maresca: “I think we were in the game until the end. There was not a big difference in the two games between us. Given the injuries, we fought until the end.” Enzo Maresca: "We struggled on and off the ball for the first 25 minutes. Second half we were there. It's not easy to create chances against Arsenal, they are one of the best defenders. We competed quite well." Enzo Maresca on coping with injuries: "We competed well, The game was there. They scored a set-piece, they are masters at that. It is a shame but my feeling is that we are going in the right direction." Maresca on Sanchez: “Today Robert was good.” [Sky via bbc]

One of the best RBs in the world at CM, our most expensive CB at RB ahead of the other RB, our two weakest CBs both starting, a Make a Wish GK given another chance, and our best player out because he played in the pub league. Apart from that, Maresca’s playing a blinder here.

Mathis Amougou will go on loan to Strasbourg in Summer as planned since January. Chelsea midfield for next season: Enzo, Caicedo, Santos, Lavia, Essugo, clear ideas. (@FabrizioRomano) 💣 I’m told Chelsea will now try to sell 7-8 players in order to raise funds to buy a striker. (@FabrizioRomano)

🇵🇹🚨 | Again, I repeat the information that I have about Quenda: €42M fee. Not €48M. Not €51M. No Add-ons included. via@RisingStarXI 🔵He was the first to report on the completed transfers of Quenda & Essugo.

Chelsea wants to be active and get business done early ahead of rivals. They are looking to tie up moves now because the summer will be unusual and busy due to the Club World Cup. (@JacobsBen)

Worth also noting, Andrey Santos will be part of Chelsea's first-team squad next season. Although Santos can also play defensive midfielder, he's been given more of an attacking role at Strasbourg. Chelsea very impressed by his development. Santos has seven goals and two assists in Ligue 1 this season. No chance Chelsea will listen to offers despite rumours.🇧🇷 (Ben Jacobs)

BREAKING: Dario Essugo to Chelsea, here we go! Agreement done with Sporting and medical completed. €22m transfer fee for 20 year old midfielder to join #CFC THIS summer and be part of the first team. Essugo will sign a 7 year deal. 🇵🇹🤝🏻 Quenda joins in 2026 for €48m fee. (Fabrizio Romano)

🚨🔵Chelsea are looking to add another right-footed wide player to join the squad this summer. Chelsea want 5 wingers for 2 positions. (@SJohnsonSport & @TheAthleticFC) 🟢My options would be: -Leão (Mendes Client) -Barcola -Nico Williams -Semenyo (Rumored) -Gittens (Rumored) 🟠Kendry Paez is being lined up to be an understudy/support for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, rather than operating on the flanks. [via@TheAthleticFC] 🟣Chelsea deem Geovany Quenda to be among the top three under-23 wingers in the world, alongside Estêvão and Yamal. On convincing Geovany Quenda to join Chelsea, it was a group effort from Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, and Enzo Maresca. Other factors were Ruben Amorim previously used him as a wingback at Sporting, but Chelsea wants him only as a winger. London was another factor, while his salary fits within the wage structure. (via@SJohnsonSport)

🚨🔵 Understand Dário Essugo already said yes to Chelsea and BlueCo project with negotiations at advanced stages between clubs. Chelsea and Sporting are negotiating for fee around €22m for 20 year old midfielder Essugo. All parties confident to get it done. (via@FabrizioRomano)

👀GEOVANY QUENDA TO Chelsea!! 🔜 One more year on loan at Sporting CP 🔏 Contract until 2033👁

Former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown: 🗣 "From what I hear, Chelsea feel he [Aaron Ramsdale] would be an upgrade on the options they’ve already got. Ramsdale is an England international and has been pretty highly rated throughout his career. He’s a decent goalkeeper, I’m not so sure whether he’s top-class, but that’s up to them to decide."

🔵 Chelsea continues to bid for Gabriel Mec. 🗣 Talks with Gremio are constant, but there is still no agreement yet for a possible transfer. ✴️ Other important clubs in Europe also want the promising young player from the gaucho club. via@urieliugt

💣Chelsea have hired Arsenal’s Mark Mason as Assistant Head of Goalkeeping. Bye Bye Ben Roberts 🤩

Chelsea are now pushing hard to get a deal in place for Gabriel Mec that would see him move to Stamford Bridge in 2026. Their latest South American capture for BlueCo is Corinthians full-back Denner. (via@GraemeBailey)

Simon Phillips Goalkeeper News Today: To recap: We've heard that Chelsea have put together a list of new goalkeepers for the summer transfer window and plan to target one of them if they can get him for the right price. We've also heard that Sanchez and Petrovic would be for sale in the summer for the right price. We're not sure about Jorgensen, we haven't heard anything yet. However, Sanchez and Petrovic are well amortized and could therefore be sold for a good profit. So yes, as far as we are concerned, Chelsea are still looking for a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.
