Chelsea Transfers

Bayern being on the verge of selling Coman has me side eyeing them a little bit. They’ll soon need another attacker and they were one of the other clubs linked with Xavi along with ourselves and Arse. 
 

We may want to hurry up before they turn their gaze on him. They’ll know him extremely well and it’s often very difficult for Bundesliga players from the smaller clubs to turn down Bayern if they come for you.

One day these clowns will find one for sure.

Bild reports Xavi Simons prefers to move to either the Premier League if he is to leave RB Leipzig this summer. 

After missing out on Champions League football and European football altogether, the future of Simons has been up in the air. Bayern Munich have been linked with the Dutch international, but he is said to have a preference for his future. 

The 22-year-old wants to move to the Premier League and has brought in an agent by the name of Ali Barat, who has connections in England to try and engineer a move away. It is expected that Barat will approach Chelsea for Simons. 

However, if Simons is to leave Leipzig in the summer, the Bundesliga side wants a fee of significantly more than the €50m they paid to bring the Dutch international to the club permanently in the winter. 

A sale of Simons would significantly help Leipzig balance the books when it comes to their spending this summer. So far, they have spent €92m and do not look like stopping. The 22-year-old’s departure would greatly reduce their net spend. However, as Leipzig is backed by Red Bull, they can spend whatever they want, and debt will not be a problem.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but do Chelsea still have to make around £60 million of sales before then they're allowed to register their new signings to play in Europe? 

That was reported earlier in the window before we made and sales. 

Since we collected almost 200m from Madueke, Petrovic, Broja, Ugo, KDH, Felix...

Exclusive: Chelsea make plans to sign Barcelona star Ronald Araújo as Levi Colwill replacement

https://www.football-espana.net/2025/08/09/exclusive-barcelona-Chelsea-ronald-araujo

Barcelona are about to lose Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr, but his exit will not enough for the club to solve their registration problems. As a result, there are chances for another big player to leave before the end of the summer, and as it turns out, it could be another central defender that moves on.

Barcelona have been ready to sell one of their senior centre-backs this summer, and prior to the news that Martinez would be going, it was going to be either Ronald Araujo or Andreas Christensen that would be moving on. And while it now seems that both will be staying, that may not be the case.

A source has indicated to Football España that Chelsea are preparing to make a concrete move for Araujo before the end of the summer transfer window. The Blues, who won the Club World Cup last month, were told this week that Levi Colwill had suffered an ACL injury, and it has already been decided that they will seek a replacement.

Chelsea regard Araujo, who was temporarily appointed as Barcelona’s captain this week, as a world class defender, and at 26, his signing would be in line with the transfer policy at Stamford Bridge. They are prepared to pay €50m to get a deal done, and there is a believe that the reigning La Liga champions would accept this – as it would allow them to ease their well-documented financial woes.

As well as Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are also showing serious interest in Araujo. Spurs see him as a key piece in their defensive rebuild, valuing his versatility and leadership qualities. Manchester United, who have a long-standing interest in the 26-year-old, are also monitoring the situation closely, but haven’t made a formal approach yet.

Chelsea are expected to submit an official bid soon. Araujo’s future will likely depend on Barcelona’s stance and how the other interested clubs decide to act in the coming weeks, but given that Martinez is about to leave, it will be tricky for the Catalans to give the green light for a sale unless a replacement can be sorted quickly.
