Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 30 possible arrivals and 15 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Jérémy Jacquet. The items below detail the latest developments on the most important transfer rumours.
Iliman Ndiaye
It was reported on Saturday that clubs, including United and Chelsea, are considering summer moves for Everton's 25-year-old winger, Iliman Ndiaye. Ndiaye acknowledged the reports but insisted that he still sees a future for himself with Everton, where he has three years left on his contract. Everton has financial concerns that might lead them to consider offers, and reports from early 2026 suggested that any deal would require a fee of at least £75 million.
Aleksandar Stankovic
According to Voetbalnieuws.be on Saturday, Chelsea have already contacted the management of Aleksandar Stankovic. Earlier reports from the same day noted that Chelsea's interest is contingent on Inter not exercising a €23 million buy-back clause from Club Brugge, an option the Serie A leaders are considered very likely to activate. Arsenal has also reportedly contacted the player's representatives. If Inter does not exercise the option, Club Brugge could hope for a transfer fee of more than €40 million.
Julián Álvarez
On Friday, Spanish publication Sport reported that both Arsenal and Chelsea are prepared to make a very large financial offer to sign Julián Álvarez, following news that the player’s agent recently travelled to England. A day earlier, it was reported that Chelsea are strongly pursuing the Atletico Madrid forward, though the club's interest is dependent on other transfer plans and their qualification for the Champions League.
Dušan Vlahović
According to Calciomercato on Friday, Chelsea and Newcastle United have contacted the agent of Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović to inquire about the costs of a potential free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Breno Bidon
According to Team Talk on Friday, Chelsea are monitoring Breno Bidon closely but have not yet made contact.
Jules Koundé
On Friday, it was understood that Chelsea and Manchester United are monitoring a potential move for Jules Koundé, though Chelsea are considered highly unlikely to pursue a deal due to their current transfer strategy. According to Fichajes, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd are considering a move for the Barcelona defender, who has been made available for transfer and is valued at around €65 million.
Kenan Yıldız
On Thursday, Eden Hazard named Kenan Yıldız as a player he would like to see Chelsea sign one day. He said his children are very enthusiastic about Yildiz, watch many videos of him playing and hope to see him in the Premier League.
