The Chelsea Recap: Transfer Season Begins

Just a day after Chelsea clinched their spot in the 2025/26 Champions League, the focus has already shifted from celebration to speculation — the transfer market is officially heating up, and fans are bracing for a wave of news on who’s coming in and who might be on the way out.

Welcome to your one-stop roundup of all things Chelsea. From whispers to breaking headlines, we’ve got you covered. So, what’s the latest buzz surrounding the Blues today?


Andrey Santos and Estêvão called up to Brazil

Two of Chelsea’s most promising talents have been selected by legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti to represent their home nation in the upcoming international window. While Estêvão has already received a call-up to the Brazil national team in the past, Andrey Santos has earned his first senior selection — a moment that feels long overdue. Both players will be eager to make the most of their opportunities and continue pushing for a spot in next year’s World Cup squad.


Delap saga is heating up

Chelsea’s hunt for a striker is just getting underway, and one name that has continued to swirl around the club is Liam Delap. The young English forward has admirers at Chelsea, particularly among those familiar with his development through the Manchester City academy. However, recent reports suggested he might be leaning toward a move to Manchester United, with a preference to return to the North. That said, today’s updates indicate Chelsea could still be firmly in the race for Delap — a situation that may be resolved sooner rather than later.


Could it be Hugo Ekitike?

Continuing with striker news, Chelsea are beginning to compile a list of potential forwards who could lead the line for Maresca’s side next season. One name generating plenty of buzz today is Frankfurt’s talisman Hugo Ekitike, who enjoyed a breakout season last campaign. He is a talented player, often compared to Nicolas Jackson due to a similar skill set, which might raise some eyebrows. However, his potential valuation of £84 million could make a move a stretch — unless that price drops.
