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.

Chelsea still have Liam Delap and Sesko on their radar. They're optimistic Delap will choose to join if they proceed, while with Sesko they face competition from Arsenal. Gyökeres has come back under fresh consideration and is likely to be available for €70m. @JacobsBen It's becoming increasingly unlikely that Joao Felix will move to AC Milan permanently due to unconvincing performances as well as the finances involved in the operation. (Tuttosport) Chelsea’s leadership group: -Reece James -Enzo Fernandez -Moises Caicedo -Levi Colwill -Tosin Adarabioyo -Marcus Bettinelli @TheAthleticFC

Chelsea have completed the signing of Denner Evangelista from Corinthians for €10M + €4M in bonuses. He will arrive in London in June 2026 and will sign a seven-year contract. ~ @urieliugt Talks with Ian Subiabre's camp took place this week in London with the 18yo Argentine attacker expected to be available this summer for around £20m. Subiabre can play as a winger or forward and impressed in the recent U20 South American Championship with 3 goals in eight games.

JUST IN: Luis Campos open to PSG exit • Talks with Chelsea ownership over Head of Football role.🔵🇵🇹 #CFC Chelsea's majority owner Clearlake Capital are understood to have held two meetings with Luis Campos to discuss becoming Head of Football (for #BlueCo) across its own multi-club portfolio, which is due to expand beyond #Strasbourg.

Enzo Maresca on Filip Jorgensen getting jeered when kicking short: "My message to Filip was if you play a long ball, I will change you, I am very happy. It is difficult for all the keepers [when that happens] but they just need to follow the plan." (@NizaarKinsella)

Nkunku was terrible so gets another start. Sancho is terrible, so gets a start. Gusto is terrible starts. Maresca is the most uninspiring manager we’ve ever had. Then again, this is probably the team he’s been told to put out - no original thought or idea about the geezer.

Sancho RW. Nkunku LW. Neto CF. Gusto RW. Invent.

Chelsea have a long-standing interest in Aaron Ramsdale. There is believed to be a relegation clause in his contract at Southampton. [@alex_crook] 🤢😪😪
