Chelsea still in for Premier League defender This one isn't over... https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-still-in-for-premier There are a few transfer situations that are far from over yet, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that they are. It’s been a confusing summer so far in the transfer market purely because of the transfer window pointlessly being split in two. The first window was open for just 10 days, closed for 6, and is now open again until September the 1st. So clubs can now go ahead and buy and sell players once again. But what it did was it made clubs become very tough with their players and refused to sell them for lower prices because they knew they had strength in negotiations with buying clubs trying to get the players in for the Club World Cup. It wasn’t a smart idea to do these two windows really. But it’s open properly now and expect some business and a long old summer of speculation and drama! Chelsea want a number of new positions in the door still, and one of those is centre back. We all heard about the story on Jarrad Branthwaite, as we reported it exclusively on this site. The mainstream media soon played this one down and made it seem like Chelsea were not pursuing him. Well, they were, and they still are. SPTC sources have heard that Chelsea are still in for Branthwaite and it may well be one that sparks back up again in the latter part of the window. After Dean Huijsen, Chelsea looked at Branthwaite as a priority. They approached Everton but were quoted a fee that they believed to be too high of around £80m-£85m. But during these talks they sensed that something could be done here for Branthwaite and feel that there’s a deal there that they could get done. So there’s a feeling that Chelsea might return here. Enzo Maresca backs any move for Branthwaite as well. Of course, The Blues have many other centre back targets, and the noise on Tomas Aruajo of Benfica is all true, as we have reported here many times now. Marc Guehi is still of interest, and the Jorrel Hato stuff is still there. It’s unclear whether Chelsea see him as more of a Marc Cucurella backup or a centre back, although the aforementioned is most likely for now. I heard last night on Hato that Chelsea will hold more talks for him a bit later in the window now. So this is one situation that has not gone anywhere but as reported, Chelsea have just put it a bit on the back burner for now as they prioritise the attack upon Maresca’s request.

EXCLUSIVE..... Bayern Munich make enquiry to sign Chelsea defender Chelsea could listen... https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/exclusive-bayern-munich-make-enquiry snip SPTC sources understand Bayern have made an enquiry to Chelsea regarding right back Malo Gusto for a potential move to the Bundesliga this summer. We have not heard what Chelsea’s official stance on Gusto is yet, but there is a belief from sources that they are likely to at least listen to the approach that is coming in and it wouldn’t be a phone down situation immediately. Chelsea have Gusto as Reece James’ main backup right now but there is a lot of belief in academy graduate Josh Acheampong, and this is why the club could be willing to sell Gusto and put their faith in the 19-year-old rising star. Acheampong would then step in as James’ main backup at right back and Gusto would be allowed to move on. I do believe it would have to be a pretty decent offer though for Chelsea to allow Gusto to move, but certainly not far-fetched at all. If Gusto is not sold, then we are also hearing that there are now a few Premier League clubs enquiring about taking Acheampong on loan this season, something that is very likely to happen in this scenario. We’ve also heard that it’s the same situation for Tyrique George, who when Chelsea sign more wingers/attackers, he is most likely going to go out on loan and has serious interest coming in. snip

https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/15/Chelsea-make-30m-transfer-bid-former-real-madrid-defender-23420752/ Chelsea have made a 35m euros (£30m) bid for former Real Madrid defender Mario Gila, according to reports in Italy. Gila, 24, spent three years in Real Madrid’s reserve team before making his first-team debut for Los Blancos during the 2021-22 campaign. The former Spain U21 star only made one more appearance for Real Madrid, however, before being sold to Lazio in the summer of 2022. Lazio spent £5m to sign Gila from Real Madrid and the centre-back has been a mainstay in the team over the past two seasons. Gila made over 40 appearances last season as Lazio finished seventh in Serie A and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri, who previously managed Chelsea, does not want to lose the Spaniard this summer but a number of clubs are interested in a deal. Italian outlet Il Messaggero say Chelsea, Tottenham, Bournemouth and PSG have all expressed interest in signing Gila. They also claim that Chelsea have already made an offer worth £30m, which was quickly rejected by Lazio. Lazio are also believed to have rejected a £35m bid from Bournemouth but will be prepared to sell if they receive an offer in the region of £50m. Gila is yet to represent Spain but was included in the senior squad for their Nations League quarter-final against Netherlands earlier in the year.
