Chelsea face an important summer in the transfer market as they look to bounce back from two poor domestic campaigns.
Although Todd Boehly has overseen a spend of more than €1 billion on new players since arriving at the club in 2022, there has been no success to show for it, with the Stamford Bridge outfit finishing 12th last season and on course for another disappointing finish this time around.
Mauricio Pochettino arrived at the club last summer with the hope of turning their fortunes around, but another mid-table finish is on the cards for the richly assembled squad – and supporters are not happy.
Pochettino may even be sacked before the 2024-25 campaign starts, with his future under threat after a 5-0 loss to London rivals Arsenal. However, a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur and a 5-0 win over West Ham has eased concerns over his future.
Chelsea continue to target a raft of promising young players, but with the squad currently not delivering on the field, might they turn their attentions to more established stars going forward?
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen headlines Chelsea’s summer transfer targets, but the Blues are also looking at alternatives, and many other deals could well be completed in a bid to get their squad into shape.
Our Chelsea transfer live blog brings you all the latest news surrounding the Blues, including exclusives from our own reporters as well as checking out what the other big names are saying (including the likes of Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein).
There are expected to be many moves this summer with players coming and going, and the Stamford Bridge rumour mill is already in full swing.

MAJOR Huijsen boost
The battle for Rodrygo
Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea all want to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.
The Brazilian has developed into a key player for Los Blancos over the years, but the forward line at the club has been left unbalanced following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
Madrid may look to sell Rodrygo for €100 million this summer to fund the acquisition of a new midfield playmaker. (Todo Fichajes)
Real Madrid want Enzo to replace Toni Kroos
Real Madrid view Enzo Fernandez as the ideal replacement for Toni Kroos.
The World Cup winner retired last summer and Los Blancos opted not to sign a direct replacement due to the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. That proved to be a mistake as Kroos has been sorely missed in the middle of the park.
Madrid will look to right-that-wrong this summer with a bid for Fernandez, though he would cost at least €100 million. (Siempre Con Argentina)
Chelsea, Arsenal, United and Liverpool want Dembele
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all considering a bid for Ousmane Dembele this summer.
The Paris Saint-Germain winger is enjoying the most influential season of his career and has been a key factor in the club reaching the semi-final of the Champions League, while Ligue 1 has already been sewn up.
He has a current ETV of €67.6m, though PSG would want significantly more as a transfer fee. (Caught Offside)
Do Chelsea need a new left-back?
Chelsea could abandon plans to sign a new left-back due to the progression of Ishe Samuels-Smith, who recently signed a six-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The youngster is yet to make his debut for the Blues but is well thought of at the club, which could lead to plans being scrapped for a new left-back.
Chelsea have been linked with summer moves for Jorrel Hato, Antonee Robinson, Milos Kerkez and Theo Hernandez among other players in that position.
There is a feeling that Samuels-Smith could share duties with Marc Cucurella.
Chelsea drop Williams interest?
When will Estevao sign for Chelsea?
Estevao will officially become a Chelsea player after the Club World Cup.
The 17-year-old signed for the Blues last summer in an eye-watering €60 million deal, but has not been able to join up with the Blues yet due to his age.
He will play at the Club World Cup for Palmeiras before officially joining Chelsea, according to his agent Andre Cury.
"He's arriving after the Club World Cup," Cury told AS in a lengthy interview. "He's a world-class player. Very good. A guy who's going to make history here."
No'Reilly?
Kudus fee SLASHED
Chelsea could secure a cut-price deal for Mohammed Kudus.
The West Ham forward was a revelation with the club last season but has been unable to replicate that form in what has been a dismal campaign for the Hammers in 2024/25.
The East London side initially wanted €100 million to allow him to leave, while a €120m move to Saudi Arabia was mentioned, but TeamTalk reports that the club would accept €70m.

Chelsea and Man Utd on alert as Maignan contract talks STALL
Chelsea and Manchester United have been put on high alert as Mike Maignan's contract talks with Milan have hit a wall.
The Frenchman is recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and was previously in talks to extend his stay at San Siro, though those talks have since stalled.
Both Chelsea and United are on the lookout for a new keeper this summer and €40 million could be enough to secure a deal. (Caught Offside)
