Just because there’s nothing public (a deliberate strategy) it doesn’t mean the club aren’t working on deals behind the scenes. They are.

Created this last night, got down to a squad of 24. Squad order not personal preference. Sales or loans : GK: Jorgensen LB: Cucurella CB: Tosin, Sarr, Badiashile, Disasi MID: Enzo, Essugo WING: Garnacho, George ATT: Delap, Emegha, Guiu Thoughts? Chelsea have lots of work to do.

It's my prediction and opinion, not info. Maybe It will be wrong, it all depends if Real Madrid come to Chelsea with a big fee or not.
Replying to @MaxFSport
Enzo a 6? Together with Caicedo yet again? Not happening Max.

Man City distanced themselves from Enzo Fernandez today, Real Madrid signing Silva want Mateus Fernandes next, PSG don’t want or need a midfielder, especially for the price of Enzo. Now tell me Enzo is leaving again? I highly doubt he is. Midfield depth will probably stay the same as last season with Essugo on loan and Enzo dropping deeper into the #6.

The Athletic - Chelsea are working on 3-4 targets but the World Cup could impact when these deals are done.
Jun 8
Few things on the transfer market : 1) Many targets are at the World Cup and will be focusing on that. Although worth noting medicals can still be done in camp. 2) Deals difficult to do due to every club wanting to see if they can raise their players prices due to good performances in World Cup. 3) The poor season both collectively and individually limits the want for players that Chelsea want to sell.

Not every transfer rumour needs micro-analysis. *If* Chelsea are interested in Yohanna, then it would 99% be for Strasbourg, especially with Moreira being rumoured to go. It’s June 3rd. Long summer ahead.

Moises Caicedo: Humble, loyal, a Chelsea untouchable and how defensive interception data and his goal scoring from last season shows both consistency and improvement, with sources saying a potential midfield addition could allow him to go forward more. striver.football/the-mentors…

Centre back situation is worrying again, as The Athletic report much will depend on if players like Fofana, Chalobah and Badiashile are prepared to play less. My understanding is Chelsea are open to bids for them all Tosin but to receive good bids you need interest (all of the above had poor seasons or didn’t play) plus, the players to actually want to go. Fofana is comfortable at Chelsea and Chalobah certainly won’t push for an exit.

Interesting on Cucurella - Simon Johnson reports that Cucurella actually has 3 years left, not 2. Im guessing Chelsea triggered a 1 year option when they gave him new wages months ago.

Atletico and other Spanish clubs interested in Cucurella, backed up in @TheAthleticFC this afternoon. Deal dependant on valuation. Chelsea may wait to see if Spain go far in the World Cup for a bigger price.
May 29
Can confirm Atletico Madrid have interest in signing Marc Cucurella and the player would be open to a move back to Spain, as others have reported. Singled sourced : some concerns over Cucurella ‘physically declining’. Let’s see how this one Enzo moves because club adament they don’t have to sell a big star to make money, it will be more about the player pushing or not and receiving a bid that they are happy with.

Second part is just a may, if a club comes in with an offer that Chelsea like they’ll consider it, But a strong World Cup could further increase value. Would make sense. Let’s see.

Chelsea will be open to listening to offers for both Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto in what could be a summer shake up at Stamford Bridge. Work ongoing behind the scenes on sales and potential targets. #CFC
