Chelsea transfer news and rumours
Updated: June 9th 2025
Chelsea have been ruled out of the race for out-of-favour Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as signing superstar players is not part of their new transfer strategy.
After confirming the arrivals of Liam Delap and Mamadou Sarr, the Blues are now pushing for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens but have seen their opening offer rejected.
The West Londoners are keen to bolster their defence further – with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Ajax teenager Jorrel Hato on their radar.
A new goalkeeper is also being sought and Chelsea are working on a deal for AC Milan shot-stopper Mike Maignan, who could be available for a reduced fee.
Another forward could arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer. There is interest in £85m-rated Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike but Brighton's Joao Pedro represents a more cost-effective option.
Enzo Maresca's squad is expected to be trimmed – with Christopher Nkunku, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall among those linked with the exit door.
Raheem Sterling is set to return to West London this summer after a disappointing loan spell with Arsenal but he could be on the move again with Fenerbahce, led by Jose Mourinho, thought to be interested.
