Enzo Maresca’s side have experienced a major dip in form over the past two months and they are set to spend big yet again this summer in a bid to rectify the current issues in their first-team squad.

Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap appears to be the Blues’ priority centre forward target, while they are also interested in landing RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, although they will face significant competition for both players.

Meanwhile, Spanish outlet Fichajes claim that Chelsea are eager to sign Atletico Madrid’s Pablo Barrios, Barcelona’s Ferran Torres and Sevilla’s Loic Bade when the 2025 summer window opens.

Chelsea target La Liga trio

Barrios, 21, has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for several months and Chelsea are reportedly ready to step up their interest as they search for a new central midfielder this year.

Andrey Santos is expected to play a key role in Maresca’s first-team when he returns from an 18-month loan spell at Strasbourg, but Chelsea remain interested in bringing another midfielder to the club amid Romeo Lavia’s injury problems, and they are willing to spend €50 million on Barrios.

In addition to the Atletico Madrid star, Chelsea are also interested in signing Torres and Bade this summer.

The former is seen as an ideal candidate to replace Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku, who are both set to leave west London on permanent deals, while the latter has emerged as a key target following Chelsea’s recent defensive woes.

The Blues are reportedly open to offering €30m for Torres, who has struggled to become a consistent starter under Hansi Flick at Barcelona, while Bade’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at €25.7m.
