Chelsea are gearing up for yet another bustling summer transfer window at Stamford Bridge, with several established stars potentially making way for new arrivals in West London.
Chelsea Aim to Make a Statement in the Summer Window
BlueCo, the club’s ownership group, shows no signs of slowing down in their quest to restore Chelsea as a dominant force in the Premier League. Their commitment to building a robust squad has been evident in recent weeks.
Acting swiftly, the Blues have secured a £62 million double deal for Sporting Lisbon duo Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo. Quenda is slated to join Chelsea in 2026, allowing him another year to develop away from the intense spotlight of London. Essugo, meanwhile, is set to be Chelsea’s first signing of the summer.
Additionally, Chelsea may pursue Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen if they decide to activate his £50 million release clause, which becomes active this summer, as reported by David Ornstein.
Despite potential challenges posed by PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) regulations, Chelsea’s ownership, led by Todd Boehly, has consistently demonstrated the ability to navigate complex negotiations efficiently, ensuring the club remains active in the transfer market.

Player exits are an inevitable part of football, and Chelsea are no strangers to this reality as they look to balance their books. The club possesses several assets that could be moved on this summer.
Since arriving from Leicester City, Enzo Maresca has taken a decisive approach to offloading surplus players and may continue this strategy with a star attracting serious interest from one of Europe’s top clubs.

According to reports from Spain, Chelsea could allow Raheem Sterling to join Juventus. The Italian giants view the former Liverpool forward as a valuable addition to bolster their experience, especially in European competitions. While their interest is genuine, no formal approach has been made yet.
Earlier this week, Sterling and Joao Felix were identified as two players Chelsea are willing to part with to fund the signing of a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson. Both are reportedly not in Maresca’s plans moving forward.

On loan at Arsenal, Sterling has struggled to make an impact under Mikel Arteta. Chelsea are eager to offload his substantial wages, with little chance of a revival at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling has shown glimpses of his talent at Chelsea, contributing 12 goals and 19 assists in 81 appearances. However, he has failed to replicate his peak form, and a fresh start elsewhere may be necessary to reignite his career.
Once described as “special” by Pep Guardiola in 2019, Sterling still has the potential to make an impact at the right club if interest materializes into a concrete offer this summer.
