Chelsea Transfer News LIVE: Lukaku DONE, FREE RUN at Osimhen, Sancho LATEST

The summer transfer window is almost over and Chelsea are still looking to improve their squad following Enzo Maresca's arrival.
Mauricio Pochettino joined the Blues last summer, however he lasted just 11 months in charge and left by mutual consent on 21 May after a post-season review meeting.
The Blues subsequently announced on 3 June that Maresca had been appointed as their new manager.
Although Todd Boehly has overseen a spend of more than €1.2 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 in his first campaign as owner and sixth in 2023-24.
However, Chelsea continue to target a raft of promising young players, despite the evident need for more experience in the dressing room.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen headlines Chelsea’s summer transfer targets, and many other deals could well be completed in a bid to get their squad into shape.
The west London club have already signed Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen, Omari Kellyman, Aaron Anselmino, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo this summer, while Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez will arrive in 2025.
In addition, Chelsea have also sold the likes of Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall and Omari Hutchinson, with Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva departing on free transfers.
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).
The Blues are expected to see several more players come and go this summer, and the Stamford Bridge rumour mill is already in full swing.

The right move?
Delap prefers Arsenal or Chelsea to Man Utd
Ipswich will be relegated from the Premier League before the end of the season and when it is made official, a £30 million relegation clause will activate for Liam Delap.
The player will be a wanted man this summer as half the league is interested in a deal, but it is believed he wants to play in Europe which has alerted the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
That preference also rules out the possibility of a move to Man Utd - unless they win the Europa League. (Daily Express)
Benfica want Joao Felix back
Chelsea hope to sell Joao Felix for a fee this summer but Benfica are willing to take their former player on loan.
The Portuguese forward signed for Chelsea before the start of this season but failed to impress, which resulted in a loan spell at Milan which has been a disaster.
Benfica want him back and would be willing to take him off Chelsea's hands on loan ahead of the Club World Cup. (Record Portugal)
Huijsen to STAY in the Premier League
Should Dean Huijsen be sold by Bournemouth, it will likely be to another Premier League club.
The young Spaniard has impressed with the Cherries this season and has a release clause of €60 million which many clubs believe could prove to be a bargain due to his age and profile.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are interested, but GiveMeSport reports that Huijsen is likely to stay in England, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd all keen on a deal. The report states that Chelsea and Liverpool are leading the race.
Felix-Osimhen boost
Chelsea still hold hope of signing Victor Osimhen this summer should they manage to qualify for the Champions League.
They need to offload flop Joao Felix, however, who has spent a dire second half of the campaign on loan at Milan, who will not sign him permanently.
Luckily for the Blues, Galatasaray are going to throw some money to Stamford Bridge to bring Felix to Turkey, which would free up some transfer funds and wages to bring in Osimhen. (Fichajes)
Chelsea NEED the Champions League

Player-plus-cash for Guehi
Chelsea want to bring Marc Guehi back to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are keen to sign yet another centre-back after a series of flops in that position, and could end up paying an exorbitant fee for a player who was previously on their books, now at Crystal Palace.
The Mirror reports that Chelsea will include Trevoh Chalobah - previously on loan at Palace - in any deal.
The Eagles want £70 million for the player, but Chelsea believe £50m + Chalobah will get the deal done as Guehi has just over a year left on his contract.
Arsenal hope to beat Chelsea to €75m star
Arsenal still hold an interest in Jules Kounde and could look to beat Chelsea to his signature with a €75 million bid this summer.
Kounde was linked with the Gunners while at Sevilla before he opted to move to Barcelona instead. Barca's financial situation is so dire that they would be unable to reject such a significant fee for one of their players so Arsenal believe that amount could get the deal done.
The Frenchman has been a standout player for Los Cules this season. (Fichajes)

According to Fichajes, Wesley Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Robert Sanchez, Noni Madueke, Reece James, Marc Guiu, David Datro Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mike Penders, Deivid Washington, Caleb Wiley, Alfie Gilchrist, Bashir Humphreys and Jadon Sancho are all on the transfer list.

Osimhen breaks silence on future
Victor Osimhen has suggested he won't be at Galatasaray next season.
The Nigerian forward is currently on loan at Gala from Napoli after falling out with the club hierarchy in Naples. He is expected to be moved on permanently this summer and has a €75 million release clause that can be triggered by non-Italian sides.
Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with the player, but the riches of Saudi Arabia are also an option for Osimhen.
Here's what he wrote told reporters:
“Galatasaray will always be in my heart. There are always rumours about me, I think about the present. I am enjoying this moment; the fans always support me. At the right time, the best decision for everyone will be made."
