The France international has been linked with a return to former side RB Leipzig, having made 62 appearances for The Blues in his two full seasons at the club. But Plettenberg reports that Leipzig are unwilling to take back the 27-year-old on a permanent deal, preferring a loan option. "Leipzig’s position on Christopher Nkunku has not changed. The interest is there, they admire him, and Leipzig remain in contact with Chelsea," wrote Plettenberg on X, formerly Twitter. "However, a permanent transfer is currently ruled out by RB - if anything, it would have to be a loan deal. "Chelsea’s stance remains clear: a permanent deal, or at the very least, an obligation to buy."

just make the FCWC badge smaller and then it doesn't dominate our club crest it is too damn big now

Chelsea Adjusts Club World Cup Badge Placement for Premier League Season https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/08/Chelsea-adjusts-club-world-cup-badge-placement-for-premier-league-season.html Badge Repositioning: Chelsea has adjusted the placement of their FIFA Club World Cup badge on their Premier League kit, moving it higher on the chest compared to its position during pre-season. Sporting iD Instruction: The badge's relocation was directed by Sporting iD, the Premier League's badge manufacturer, to ensure the FIFA badge doesn't overshadow the club crest. Fan Dissatisfaction: The new badge position has been met with controversy among supporters, who find the higher placement awkward and prefer the design of previous Club World Cup badges. Chelsea took to the pitch for their opening Premier League match with a noticeable change to their kit that differed from what was seen during their pre-season tour. The gold FIFA Club World Cup champion badge has been repositioned on the chest. During pre-season matches, the gold CWC badge was positioned centrally, sitting directly between the Nike Swoosh and the Chelsea club crest. However, for the official start of the Premier League season, the badge has been moved higher up on the chest, now placed centrally above the two logos. Image via chuyenaodau The adjustment was not an arbitrary decision by the club. According to reports, the change was made following official instructions from Sporting iD, the manufacturer of the badges for the Premier League. The rationale for pushing the badge higher is to prevent the prominent FIFA badge from overshadowing the club's own crest, giving both elements more visual space. Despite the intention, the new placement has stirred controversy among supporters. Many feel the higher position looks awkward or unbalanced. This discussion is often linked to the general dissatisfaction with the current circular CWC badge compared to the more traditional, and fan-favorite, shield-shaped version used in previous years, which many believe was better designed and easier to integrate into a kit's layout. Following their win in the historic first Club World Cup with the new format, Chelsea will have the badge on their kit for the next four seasons.

Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku to be left out of Chelsea squad vs. West Ham https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6566741/2025/08/21/Chelsea-transfers-nicolas-jackson-nkunku/ Enzo Maresca has confirmed Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku will not be in the Chelsea squad to face West Ham United on Friday despite being available for selection. Jackson was suspended for the club’s opening match against Crystal Palace while Nkunku did not make the bench for the 0-0 draw on Sunday despite being fit. Both players are up for sale and Maresca has already put summer signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap ahead of the forwards in the pecking order. Maresca said: “He (Nico) is available but he is not going to be part of the squad because we have two strikers in that position and also something can happen before the window closes. Christo is with us like Nico but he (his future) is the same answer as Nico.” Jackson has attracted interest from Premier League clubs while RB Leipzig have stepped up talks over re-signing Nkunku.

Chelsea must find a way to become the sum of their spending in the final third if the world champions are to become English champions again When asked if there is a way back for the duo in his plans if neither get a transfer before the deadline on September 1, he added: “No idea to be honest. It is not the moment. There are still two weeks to go (till the deadline). It’s difficult to plan because anything can happen.” Maresca has also revealed that defender Aaron Anselmino, who was not involved against Crystal Palace, is being lined up for a loan. Maresca said: “He is a good player but he needs to play games, he needs to go (on Loan) and he is another player that is waiting for a solution.” Meanwhile, defender Tosin Adarabioyo is available to return from injury but Romeo Lavia (muscular) and Benoit Badiashile (leg) are still sidelined.

Chelsea unveil aggressively basic 2025-26 third kit Don’t hurt yourself, Nike https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/kits/161245/Chelsea-unveil-aggressively-basic-2025-26-third-kit I’m on record for favoring simplicity when it comes to my Chelsea shirts. “It’s Blue, what else matters?” as the memorable ad campaign (the one with the blue paint) said over a decade ago now. But there’s keeping it simple in a classy way — as Nike themselves showed with that tremendous FA Cup 50th Anniversary shirt — and then there’s keeping it simple in a “who gives a [FUN]” way. If that adidas ad campaign in 2014 posited that Chelsea fans would buy a home shirt sight unseen just knowing that it was blue, Nike’s current third shirt figures that Chelsea fans would buy any old crap as long as it’s billed “a Chelsea shirt”. Behold: some black polyester, straight out of the seconds pile at the factory floor, rejected as training shirts, even. And where’s the World Champions badge going to go? A generous view of this design might say that it borrows from Nike’s own Brazil kits in the early 2000s — and they teased it with those Nike Total 90 balls from the same time, with the marketing also doling out nostalgia about the 2004-05 Chelsea season and Nike’s Total 90 era in general — but to me this is little more than throwaway garbage. Buy it here!

Laughable. Hard to take anyone seriously who claims that. It really is. Sorry, but I have to call it out.

BlueCo have now taken 15 players or staff from Brighton since 2022.

Julio Enciso buy is a meh for me. Maybe we get lucky but I never rated him that much.

Wish he would leave. I said it would be a disastrous buy, and it has been.

explanation Chelsea star deletes all Blues content from Instagram after pointed Enzo Maresca dig Chelsea star Wesley Fofana has deleted all Chelsea-related content from his Instagram after Enzo Maresca called for new signings and claimed the Frenchman couldn't do all that was required of him https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/Chelsea-fofana-instagram-enzo-maresca-35761892 Wesley Fofana has deleted every Chelsea-related post on his Instagram after Enzo Maresca made it clear that he couldn't step into a defensive role for the Blues - urging the club to sign new defenders instead. Fofana was signed back when Thomas Tuchel was in charge, joining for a mammoth £75million from Leicester. However he's struggled to repay that fee, largely owing to a horrific injury that kept him out for nearly an entire season. The Frenchman is one of a number of defenders on Chelsea's books and only played 14 times last term. An injury to Levi Colwill, which will rule him out for the majority of the campaign, has opened up a spot in the team's backline but Fofana is set to get snubbed with Maresca claiming he lacks the qualities to fill in. The 24-year-old was a huge hit when he was at the Foxes, but the Blues boss believes he cannot do what is necessary to help the team with their build-up play - something he stated publicly. In response Fofana has wiped his hands with the club, at least from a social media perspective. His Instagram now only includes images of him playing for France and Leicester with Chelsea not mentioned in his bio either. Maresca has suggested that Tosin Abarabioyo is the only player he can rely on to take on the burden from Colwill. "The only one that can do that job well is Tosin," said the Italian. He also claimed: “We said many times that we are able to create chances and to attack in the right way if we are able to build in the right way. Levi was a huge part of our build-up, and now he is out and we are going to try to find a different solution. We are trying to find a solution internally but the club know exactly what I think. "We have players that unfortunately, like Wes or Benoit, they have in this moment some problems. And this is the reason why I said that the club knows exactly what I think about central defenders.” Chelsea drew their opening Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, who held them to a goalless stalemate. Josh Acheampong and Trevoh Chalobah were the two men at the heart of the Blues' defence with Fofana an unused sub - as was new signing Jorrel Hato.

Sources: Chelsea have scouted Alejandro Garnacho for 8 years He's actually a long time target https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-have-scouted-alejandro This transfer window has been a very odd one. The Alejandro Garnacho hype has been a little bit odd, and the fact he is allegedly turning down Bayern Munich and any other club and is only desperately waiting for Chelsea, is also a little odd. But anyway, this is a sourced article so I’m not getting into any of that for now. The point is, he’s actually been a Chelsea ‘target’ for many years and the club scouts have had him on the radar since he was in the youth setup at Atletico Madrid. Chelsea scouts have been racking up the data on him ever since and had passed all his info onto the new directors when they came in. Chelsea scouts continued to watch him. and his data is something that is admired by the sporting directors, who are all keen on signing him, not just Paul Winstanley. Although the latter has been one of those behind the latest big push to sign him. Chelsea scouts rate the player a lot and have been watching him for nearly 8 years. You will remember an exclusive report on this site a year or so back reporting our latest interest in Garnacho when he was just coming through at Manchester United. All the sporting directors are on board with the signing and we’ve even heard from our sources that his brother, who has been known to be a bit of a trouble maker, has moved back to Spain and does not influence Alejandro. So that is the info we’ve had this week, not my opinion, just FYI.

The Premier League panic rankings – 6. Chelsea A club that has signed 49 senior players in three years at a cost of around £1.75billion is never far from buying someone, panic or no panic. If Enzo Maresca had his way, Chelsea would be steaming into the market for a centre-back following Levi Colwill’s long-term injury, but so far the club appear to be telling him to make do with the 12 senior defenders that remain available to him (No joke. That’s the real number). However, after mustering only three shots on target against Palace on Sunday, expect them to spend £70m on a new striker who’ll get a 12-year contract then be loaned to Strasbourg in January.

Villarreal set to sign Chelsea’s Renato Veiga in permanent transfer https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6508158/2025/08/20/Chelsea-transfer-news-veiga-villarreal/ Villarreal are set to complete the signing of Chelsea’s Renato Veiga on a permanent transfer. The move, when finalised, will be processed for an upfront fee of around €24.5million (£21m) alongside a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons and a significant sell-on clause for the Premier League side. The London club signed the versatile defender, who primarily plays at centre-back, from Basel for €14m last summer on a contract until June 2031, with the option of a further 12 months. After scoring two goals across 18 Chelsea appearances, the Portugal international spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, where he made 15 appearances and helped the club qualify for the Champions League after the club paid a €5m loan fee. Veiga became a Portugal international following his move to west London, and has since played five times for Roberto Martinez’s side. The Athletic reported on July 22 that Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich were among the clubs who had registered their interest in the 21-year-old. Veiga was primarily a squad player in the first half of the season for Chelsea, making only one Premier League start and playing 90 minutes in all six of their Conference League league-phase matches. Sources close to Veiga, who spoke anonymously to protect relationships, told The Athletic in January that he wanted to establish himself in the Portugal team after breaking into Martinez’s senior side in the opening months of 2024-25. He then joined Serie A side Juventus on loan, where he made 12 league starts in the second half of the campaign as they qualified for the Champions League with a fourth-place finish. Veiga was then not included in Chelsea’s travelling squad for the Club World Cup after his spell in Italy ended, instead returning to their Cobham training base outside London alongside other returning loanees such as Ben Chilwell and Joao Felix, the latter of whom has joined Al Ittihad in a permanent move. Veiga was used primarily as an inverting left-back at Chelsea, occasionally playing as a defensive midfielder or centre-back. But all his Juventus appearances came in the heart of defence, where he has also featured for Portugal.

Prospect Sheet: Rayan (Vasco da Gama) The fourth Prospect Sheet from the CIES Football Observatory, in partnership with Impect, presents Brazilian striker Rayan Vitor, a product of Vasco da Gama, the club where he has played since the age of six. At just 19 years old, he is already in his third season at professional level, with a record nine goals in all competitions in 2025. A technically skilled left-footed player who is fast, powerful, and elegant, Rayan primarily plays as a right winger, but can perform well in any attacking position. He is particularly active at finishing level, but also makes significant contributions in terms of creating chances and aerial play (he is 185cm tall). Despite a contract expiring at the end of 2026, his transfer value estimated by the CIES Football Observatory’s statistical model is between €19.6 and €25.3 million, depending on the financial strength of the potential buyer club. A possible extension would significantly increase this amount. Without renewal, however, his value is likely to decrease, even if he continues to perform well. >>> Full Rayan’s profile >>> The other profiles published
