<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chelsea signed 19-year-old left-back Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United on Monday for £8.5 million.
Wiley is a very talented player, but he is still not good enough to take the spot of the first team players Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell yet.
So, Chelsea is trying to get him on loan anywhere, and it looks like they will be landing him at their affiliate club RC Strasbourg.
This move is beneficial for Wiley, who already has significant senior experience for his age but needs more minutes at a high European level.
The hope is that he will secure regular playing time with Strasbourg, potentially appearing in 20 to 30 games this season.
<img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30752 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iiy47vy04yu8moo0r5v8.webp" alt="Caleb Wiley" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iiy47vy04yu8moo0r5v8.webp 1280w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iiy47vy04yu8moo0r5v8-300x169.webp 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iiy47vy04yu8moo0r5v8-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iiy47vy04yu8moo0r5v8-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" />
However, Chelsea’s decision to send Wiley on loan to Strasbourg will have broader implications for the rest of the squad.
Under FIFA rules, Chelsea is allowed six international loan slots for the season.
With Wiley taking one of these slots and Andrey Santos likely to take another, only four slots remain for other players.
This limitation presents a challenge given the number of young players who might need loan moves to continue their development.
Also Read: <a href="https://chelseacore.com/ben-chilwells-chelsea-future-in-question-amid-injury-concerns-and-transfer-interest-091497">Ben Chilwell’s Chelsea Future In Question Amid Injury Concerns</a>
Among those potentially seeking international loans are Bashir Humphreys, Alfie Gilchrist, Gabriel Slonina, Alex Matos, Cesare Casadei, Lesley Ugochukwu, Angelo Gabriel, Leo Castledine, Harvey Vale, Deivid Washington, David Datro Fofana, and Mason Burstow.
Additionally, Chelsea’s plans to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga and Romelu Lukaku, though intended, have yet to materialize.
If these sales do not go through, it could further complicate the loan situation.
Moreover, players like Marc Guiu, Renato Veiga, and Omari Kellyman are expected to stay with the first team, reducing the flexibility for others to go out on loan.
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30750 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca.jpeg" alt="Caleb Wiley" width="1400" height="1400" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca.jpeg 1400w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GRQ_OErXkAA44ca-80x80.jpeg 80w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" />
While domestic loans are still an option, the bottleneck created by the limited international slots means Chelsea must carefully consider where to place their young talents.
The goal is to find the best possible temporary homes to maximize their development, but the reduced number of available slots makes this a complex task.
Overall, while Wiley’s signing is a positive addition to Chelsea’s squad, it creates a significant challenge in managing the development of other young players through strategic loan placements.
The club will need to navigate this situation wisely to ensure all their prospects continue to progress effectively.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chelsea has made a surprising decision regarding the future of Andrey Santos.
They signed him in January 2023 for a fee between £10-£18 million and now it has been confirmed that the young star will now see action in another loan-out likely to happen this coming season.
Despite his high rating upon arrival, Santos is yet to make his Chelsea debut.
He was sent on loan to Nottingham Forest for the first half of last season, but he made only two appearances before being recalled.
Chelsea then dispatched him to Strasbourg, a French club owned by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
He was very impressive there and received the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Month award in March.
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30052 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.jpg" alt="Andrey Santos" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.jpg 1200w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos-300x200.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
It was claimed in June that Chelsea had no plans to allow the 20-year-old midfielder to leave Stamford Bridge again.
The club felt that he would be a good fit for the new manager Enzo Maresca’s style of play. But new plans have seen Chelsea loan Santos back to Strasbourg for the 2024/25 season.
This decision, however, does not affect Chelsea’s high regard for Santos, who the club still views as one of the men to hold great promise for the future.
A number of other European clubs were interested in buying Santos as well, including Borussia Dortmund.

Santos will not immediately link up with Strasbourg but will instead join Chelsea for their pre-season tour of the USA, starting with Thursday’s match against Wrexham in San Francisco.
He will have some publicity and experience in that tour before going to France.
The next season will be with new management at Strasbourg.
Liam Rosenior replaces Patrick Vieira, who was fired after only one season in charge.
Rosenior, strangely dismissed by Hull after guiding them to seventh place in the Championship, has already spoken about his plans with Santos.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30053 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.1jpg.jpg" alt="Andrey Santos" width="1002" height="560" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.1jpg.jpg 1002w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.1jpg-300x168.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.1jpg-768x429.jpg 768w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Andrey-Santos.1jpg-1000x560.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px" />
Although this decision may seem to be a step back in the short term, this decision to loan Santos back to Strasbourg can actually prove to be a strategic move; it keeps him playing regularly to continue his development.
Chelsea’s long-term vision for Santos has not been damaged by any degree, with the loan spell viewed as a chance for him to get experience and come back stronger.
While Andrey Santos’ immediate future involves another loan spell at Strasbourg, Chelsea still retains faith in his potential and value for their future plans.
The pre-season tour in the USA will give him a real opportunity to make a point and further integrate into the Chelsea setup before going back to France for another season of development.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Victor Osimhen is on the brink of leaving Napoli, with PSG reportedly agreeing to personal terms with the Nigerian forward.
Despite the long-standing speculation about his departure, Napoli’s insistence on meeting his €130 million release clause has stalled the process.
Chelsea and Arsenal wanted Osimhen but did not agree to Napoli’s high price.
There was also an offer from Saudi, but Osimhen did not like it.
Recently, TuttoSport reported that Osimhen agreed to a deal from PSG with five years contract worth €14 million anually.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-24311 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli.jpg" alt="Osimhen" width="1600" height="900" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli.jpg 1600w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli-300x169.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli-768x432.jpg 768w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Victor-Osimhen-Napoli-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" />
No official agreement between PSG and Napoli has been reached yet.
Napoli’s financial situation complicates matters, as they cannot afford to keep Osimhen due to his €10 million yearly wages and their absence from the Champions League.
Taking advantage of this, PSG has reportedly submitted a transfer bid of €85 million, according to Controcalcio TV.
However, this offer is expected to be rejected by Napoli.

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte has expressed interest in signing PSG centre-back Milan Skriniar, who had a disappointing debut season in Paris.
Skriniar’s inclusion in a potential deal could be a possibility, although how his wages would fit into Napoli’s budget remains unclear.
This development could also impact Chelsea positively.
Conte is keen to secure a new striker before Napoli’s training camp starts on July 25.
Should the Osimhen deal be completed within the next week, it could facilitate Romelu Lukaku’s transfer.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-30674 aligncenter" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1.jpg" alt="Lukaku" width="810" height="540" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1.jpg 810w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px" />
Reports from TuttoSport indicate that Lukaku is enthusiastic about rejoining Antonio Conte at Napoli.
He has already committed to a three-year contract valued at €6.5 million per year.
This move hinges on Osimhen’s departure, potentially triggering a significant shift in the transfer market and benefiting both clubs involved.
Also Read: <a href="https://chelseacore.com/chelsea-confirm-disciplinary-action-over-offensive-enzo-fernandez-video-091480">Chelsea Take Action Over Racist Enzo Fernández Video</a>
Napoli is prepared to offer €25 million for the Belgian striker, but Osimhen’s sale must be completed first.
This series of transfers hinges on Osimhen’s move to PSG, which would set off a chain reaction benefiting both Napoli and Chelsea.
In summary, Osimhen’s potential transfer to PSG is closer than ever, driven by Napoli’s financial constraints and Conte’s strategic requests.
If successful, this could facilitate Lukaku’s move to Napoli, highlighting the interconnected nature of football transfers and the strategic maneuvers clubs make to achieve their goals.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Athletic claims that Chelsea is considering cashing out their deputy captain, Ben Chilwell, if a good deal comes by.
Having joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2020 for £50 million, Chilwell formed an integral part of the team and played his part in the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup triumphs.
But now his persistent injuries, hang a question mark on his future at Stamford Bridge.
Fitness has been an issue for Chilwell, even when one considers his talent.
He played only 21 times last season due to a hamstring problem, one of many issues.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29402 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ben-Chilwell.jpg" alt="Ben Chilwell" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ben-Chilwell.jpg 1200w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ben-Chilwell-300x200.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ben-Chilwell-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ben-Chilwell-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
Since his ACL injury in November 2021, Chilwell has spent 268 days out due to eight different injuries, as per Transfermarkt.
These persistent issues have prevented him from consistently performing at the level expected of one of the Premier League’s top left-backs.
Chilwell’s future at Chelsea is now uncertain since Maresca arrived.
The tactics of Maresca are differing with Chilwell’s style of play.
Also Read: <a href="https://chelseacore.com/maresca-made-chelseas-surprising-goalkeeper-decision-091496">Maresca Made Chelsea’s Surprising Goalkeeper Decision</a>
Manchester United is already preparing an offer to buy the Chelsea left-back.
Even though he still has three years remaining on his contract, Chelsea is willing to listen to and evaluate any offer due to his high cost to the club.
This will grant them greater financial flexibility as it could possibly help in the search for a replacement.
Off the pitch, Chilwell plays a big leadership role; with him being one of the older and more experienced members of a young squad, his place in Chelsea’s leadership is very important.
His experience from Chelsea’s trophy-winning seasons was invaluable, especially as this team is undergoing transition under new management.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15151" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/0_Ben-Chilwell.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="900" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/0_Ben-Chilwell.jpg 1200w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/0_Ben-Chilwell-300x225.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/0_Ben-Chilwell-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/0_Ben-Chilwell-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
However, his recurring injuries, combined with his high wage packet, put a question mark next to his future with Chelsea who now needs to balance its books and invest into younger and more reliable talent.
Now, with Marc Cucurella being off-duty due to a well-deserved rest after Euro 2024, Chilwell will have the chance to really prove himself in pre-season.
This is Chilwell’s best opportunity to shine and impress the new manager.
Also Read: <a href="https://chelseacore.com/ollie-watkins-targeted-by-chelsea-cole-palmers-persuasion-in-full-swing-091489">Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins Targeted By Chelsea</a>
A good pre-season could really set his tone inside the team and convince management that his value isn’t entirely weighed against his injury history.
Ben Chilwell has always been one of Chelsea’s major players, and he is currently suffering from some chronic injuries, with a huge salary demanding that puts a question mark over his future.
The Blues will not hesitate to sell him if the right offer comes.
For Chilwell, pre-season is very important to prove form so he can nail down a place in the team.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has handed Robert Sanchez the first-choice goalkeeper role for this new season.
The £25 million Sanchez inked the deal last season with Chelsea, and he is supposed to be an important component of the wheel of Maresca’s strategy.
Enzo Maresca wants to build a side capable of playing possession-based football where passing and distribution matter above everything.
To make this work, he needs a goalkeeper who will be comfortable and confident with his feet, so Robert Sanchez fits that bill perfectly.

Under previous management by Maresca, Leicester City dominated the Championship, gaining promotion back to the Premier League with a brand of beautiful, fluid football in the image of Pep Guardiola.
This is what Maresca will look to emulate at Chelsea, and Sanchez’s capacity to be part of this type of football is pivotal.
The last season was a bit mixed for Sanchez, playing as a Chelsea goalkeeper.
He made some starts, after which he was long gone, suffering from injuries, and spent most of the 2023-2024 season watching from the sidelines.
Dorde Petrovic took over as the first-choice goalkeeper in his place.
Sanchez’s performances had their share of ups and downs.
For instance, during a game at Stamford Bridge against Arsenal, one misjudged pass by Sanchez led to a critical error that helped the opponents equalize and almost cost Chelsea the win.

Mistakes like these have to be cut out if Sanchez is to become a truly world-class goalkeeper as in the Premier League, there is little room for error.
Yet, in between, Sanchez also had very bright moments.
He made critical saves to win games for Chelsea, proving that he can be a top player.
More than anything else, it was his resilience and the capacity to perform under pressure when the team was lacking in confidence.
Mauricio Pochettino did well to fashion a competitive team as Chelsea came 6th in the Premier League last season.
Maybe there could be optimism for the future as the team improved much towards the latter stages of the 2023-2024 campaign.

Enzo Maresca came with the experience of working under legendary managers like Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola.
He unites ideas from different styles of coaching, adding a bit of his own—very distinct.
Thus, he becomes an interesting and innovative Chelsea coach.
This system of Maresca requires the goalkeeper to have a significant level of ball distribution, and Robert Sanchez is exactly that.
The Chelsea Chronicle indicated that Maresca had picked Sanchez as his cornerstone.
Tailor-made to execute his possession-based football philosophy at Chelsea with Robert Sanchez being a first-choice goalkeeper, Enzo Maresca would know how much Sanchez can contribute to that as the team tries to climb up the Premier League standings.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This was disclosed by the French Football Federation (FFF) which stated that has been released from the France’s Olympic squad to rejoin Chelsea.
However, Ugochukwu was part of first 18-man squad for the Olympics but was dropped, only to be kept as one of the four standbys.
If clubs want, they can even request their players to return without delay because football match is not a part of FIFA schedule.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29399 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lesley-Ugochukwu.jpg" alt="Lesley Ugochukwu" width="1200" height="640" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lesley-Ugochukwu.jpg 1200w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lesley-Ugochukwu-300x160.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lesley-Ugochukwu-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lesley-Ugochukwu-768x410.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
Lens midfielder Andy Diouf is still a reserve player and has gone back to his club but the move will not affect his status at the team.
However, the FFF claims Chelsea has removed Ugochukwu from the release list with immediate effect, thus available for pre-season workouts.
The explanation for why such a decision was made by Chelsea is still unknown.
The 20-year-old saw no summer game-time for France favourites before the new club season starts.
A statement from the FFF said:
“The midfielder is leaving the French Olympic Team this Friday, July 19, and will not be among the reserves for the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament. Following a request from Chelsea FC, Lesley Ugochukwu will permanently leave the French Olympic football team and will no longer be available as a reserve.”

Chelsea’s pre-season fixtures begin this Thursday with a match against Wrexham at the StubHub Center in California.
Ugochukwu featured in only 15 matches for Chelsea in the previous season and was out of action for most of the second half after sustaining a hamstring injury.
He signed a seven year contract from Rennes to join Chelsea but in fact started only three Premier league games before he was injured.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30878 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GPKBWHkboAEebs0.jpg" alt="Maresca" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GPKBWHkboAEebs0.jpg 1200w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GPKBWHkboAEebs0-300x200.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GPKBWHkboAEebs0-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GPKBWHkboAEebs0-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
Ugochukwu could now become part of Enzo Maresca’s summer planning when on the USA tour with Chelsea.
If he does so, then he might offer summer cover for Conor Gallagher, who will return to the squad after the Euro 2024 tournament.
There has been much speculation on regarding Gallagher’s future.
Chelsea will continue to tussle within the set spending laws laid down by the Premier league and may have to trade academy players for other players that will offer them pure profit under the profit and sustainability rules system.
Gallagher might be considered, while Trevoh Chalobah is another player, and Ian Maatsen, who was sold to Aston Villa for £37. 5 million.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chelsea is actively pursuing Brazilian talent Gabriel Mec from Gremio, a 16-year-old left winger who has also garnered interest from top clubs like Arsenal.
But Chelsea has positioned themselves as leading contenders in the competition to secure his signature as they have already begun initiating discussions with his representatives in Sao Paulo last month.
The team is considering buying Mec after scouting and several talks with the player himself as well.
Fabrizio Romano, a well-known expert in football transfers, has emphasized Chelsea’s keen interest in Gabriel Mec.
The 17-year-old is widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most promising attacking talents and has been likened to Neymar for his technical abilities and potential.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30850 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GSoLZa4WUAA3OWD.jpg" alt="Gabriel Mec" width="1179" height="924" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GSoLZa4WUAA3OWD.jpg 1179w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GSoLZa4WUAA3OWD-300x235.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GSoLZa4WUAA3OWD-1024x803.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GSoLZa4WUAA3OWD-768x602.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px" />
Despite being young, Mec has not yet appeared in a senior match for Gremio.
However, his skill set has already drawn comparisons to Neymar, showcasing his potential to become a future star in football.
Chelsea’s strategy of choosing and obtaining the greatest talents from South America has been an essential part of their transfer policy recently, and this desire for Mec confirms their promise to put money into young talent.
Since 2022, under ownership of Todd Boehly, Chelsea has been able to sign players such as Andrey Santos, Deivid Washington, Angelo Gabriel, and Estevao Willian, who are ready for the next season.
They have also secured promising Ecuadorian prospect Kendry Paez, who is slated to join the club next summer.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30848 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/F_erNrSW0AA4cG6.jpg" alt="Gabriel Mec" width="1075" height="933" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/F_erNrSW0AA4cG6.jpg 1075w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/F_erNrSW0AA4cG6-300x260.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/F_erNrSW0AA4cG6-1024x889.jpg 1024w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/F_erNrSW0AA4cG6-768x667.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px" />
In addition to their South American recruits, Chelsea is also finalizing a deal with Argentine youngster Aaron Anselmino.
Once the transfer is completed, Anselmino will mark Chelsea’s sixth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
The pursuit of Gabriel Mec underscores Chelsea’s dual focus on immediate success and long-term planning.

By targeting young talents like Mec, Chelsea aims not only to strengthen their squad but also to build a sustainable foundation for the future.
As negotiations progress, all eyes will be on Stamford Bridge to see if Chelsea can successfully secure yet another gem from the fertile footballing grounds of Brazil.
With competition from other top clubs, Chelsea’s ability to navigate these negotiations could prove pivotal in shaping their squad for the seasons to come.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A turbulent spell at Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku could come to an end with a transfer that will have a considerable impact on another of Chelsea’s long-term transfer pursuits.
In truth, Chelsea and Lukaku have been desperate for a parting, with the Belgian striker sent out on back-to-back loans in Italy over the past two seasons.
But the Blues’ opening valuation had stuck the situation.
Reports in Italy yesterday indicated that a deal with Napoli is close to being completed, with the Serie A side shelling out €25 million plus bonuses for Lukaku.
Indeed, Lukaku has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, his former coach at Chelsea and Inter Milan.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30674 size-full" src="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1.jpg" alt="Lukaku" width="810" height="540" srcset="https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1.jpg 810w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://chelseacore.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lukaku1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px" />
Lukaku has been on Napoli’s radar in the closing summer, but the deal held up due to Chelsea’s valuation and doubts over Victor Osimhen’s exit in the summer.
Offers for the Nigerian forward were not sounding the club to buy at the amount they intended to sign him with.
However, now it looks like the player is on the verge of joining Paris Saint-German (PSG).

PSG has started negotiations with Napoli for a deal for Osimhen, with the potential transfer possibly including a player exchange that would take the players Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, or Lee Kang in the opposite direction to Napoli.
Napoli has always insisted on a figure close to the €100 million mark for Osimhen, and at a given point, Chelsea was one of the favorites to take him in the transfer.
However, Chelsea’s interest has somewhat lowered due to the hefty price tag that he comes with.

PSG desperately needs to replace star forward Kylian Mbappe and recently held face-to-face talks with Osimhen’s agent.
These talks are at an advanced stage because the French giants are now ready to make an offer for the 25-year-old striker.
Any development of the deal for Osimhen will fast-track Lukaku to Napoli, with PSG maybe having to sell another forward, probably Goncalo Ramos, to that effect.
The sales of Lukaku to Napoli and Osimhen to PSG are two undercurrent events, and this is what defines that the transfer market today is so complex.
Chelsea, Napoli, and PSG are all currently doing their best to secure something advantageous for their clubs through these negotiations.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a move for Bayern Munich’s young striker Mathys Tel.
The 19-year-old French talent had a mixed season, starting strong but losing his impact as the campaign progressed.
Despite being mostly a substitute, Tel showed great potential early on but found playing time hard to come by later in the season.
This led to various transfer rumors, with both Manchester United and Chelsea expressing interest in Tel during the spring.
However, Bayern managed to convince him to stay, resulting in Tel extending his contract at the Allianz Arena until 2029.
This seemed to calm the speculation for a while.

Recently, journalist Si Phillips reignited these rumors by claiming that Chelsea still have their eyes on Tel.
Writing on his SPTC Substack, Phillips stated, “Mathys Tel of Bayern is still very much ‘one to watch’ right now” according to SPTC sources.
They believe he might consider leaving the club, depending on Bayern’s new signings.
This could be a situation that evolves.

Chelsea, who are in the market for another attacker despite already signing young talents Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu, are keen to bolster their offensive options.
Tel’s potential availability has caught their attention again, especially as Bayern have been active in the transfer market this summer.
Bayern recently secured the signing of Crystal Palace star Michael Olise, a move that might have pushed Chelsea to look elsewhere for reinforcements.

The Bavarians are also trying to sign left-winger Désiré Doué from Stade Rennais.
This increased competition in the squad could affect Tel’s position, who was often deployed on the wings due to Harry Kane’s role as the main striker.
New Bayern boss Vincent Kompany is likely to see Tel as the backup to Kane rather than as a winger, particularly after the departure of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

However, it would likely require a significant offer to persuade Bayern to part with the promising young striker this summer.
As the transfer window progresses, Chelsea’s pursuit of Mathys Tel is definitely a situation to keep an eye on.
The Blues are determined to strengthen their squad and Tel could be the next big addition to Stamford Bridge if the circumstances align.
