Chelsea’s transfer window has been busy so far, with the club shelling out a record £1 billion on new players and selling over £200 million worth of players. The Blues have already agreed deals for Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Michael Olise, and Deivid Washington, and are in talks to sign Montpellier’s Elye Wahi.
Under Mauridio Pochettino’s leadership, the club is looking to move towards a smaller 22-man squad, with several players being potentially sold or loaned out. Hakim Ziyech has recently agreed to a deal with Galatasaray and is set to undergo a medical in Turkey.
Hakim Ziyech’s Transfer to Galatasaray
Chelsea has agreed to a deal with Galatasaray for Hakim Ziyech, with PSG also showing interest. Ziyech will undergo a medical in Turkey and, despite PSG’s interest, Chelsea proceeded with the transfer.
Ziyech didn’t receive a squad number from Chelsea this season and trained separately from the first-team squad. He joins a record £1 billion spent on players by Chelsea in the last three transfer windows, as well as over £200 million from player sales.
Moises Caicedo joined for a British record fee of £115 million. Deals have been agreed for Romeo Lavia, Michael Olise, and Deivid Washington.
Chelsea’s Record Spending and Player Sales
The club has already spent a record £1 billion on new players and sold over £200 million worth of players by early July.
Chelsea have invested heavily in their squad, believing they remain compliant with Financial Fair Play regulations.
Moises Caicedo joined for a British record transfer fee of £115 million, and deals have been agreed for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, and Santos striker Deivid Washington.
The Blues have also offloaded several players, such as Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Ian Maatsen, and Malang Sarr.
Chelsea are in talks to sign Montpellier’s Elye Wahi for a fee of £30 million, and are also looking for a new goalkeeper.
Despite interest from other clubs, they are reluctant to let Armando Broja leave.
Potential Signings and Outgoing Players
Talks are underway to sign Montpellier’s Elye Wahi for a fee of £30 million. A new goalkeeper is also being sought.
Chelsea are also looking to offload some players. Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Ian Maatsen, and Malang Sarr are all on the sell list.
Moises Caicedo joined for a British record transfer fee of £115 million. Further deals have been agreed for Romeo Lavia, Michael Olise, and Deivid Washington.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reluctant to let Armando Broja leave despite interest from West Ham and AC Milan. Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu could be sent out on loan.
Mauricio Pochettino’s preference for a smaller squad could influence these decisions. He looks to build a balanced squad for the upcoming season.
Pochettino’s Squad Preference
Mauricio Pochettino is driving the desire to sell players and is aiming for a 22-man squad next season, with three goalkeepers included. With Ziyech, Lukaku, and Hudson-Odoi all hoping to leave Stamford Bridge, the club is wanting to maintain a balanced squad for the upcoming season.
This requires the sale of some players, with Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Ian Maatsen, and Malang Sarr all on the sell list. Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu may also be sent out on loan. However, the club is unlikely to let Armando Broja leave, despite interest from West Ham and AC Milan.
Pochettino’s squad preference will influence player sales and the overall shape of the squad next season.
