Chelsea FC 2025-26: Where All Those 8-Year Contracts Start to Make Sense?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Lots of movement to happen still but a step up over last season finishing 4th and heading to the Champions League. One of the youngest squads in the league with plenty of talent. Maybe we get this thread over 4 pages.

Highly touted adds
- Estevao - Anyone who watched the CWC knows he has a ton of talent. More leadership than I expected.
- Paez - Young Colombian talent
- Giddens - LW that was a huge part of Dortmund's success last season
- Delap/Joao Pedro - Very welcomed competition at the 9. If Nicolas wants it, go get it. That being said he appears to be an idiot to me.

Interesting Loanees returning
- Petrovic - One of the highest rated GKs in Ligue 1. Some discussion that he wants to leave based on being left out of the CWC roster
- Renato Vega - Very versatile player, did well at Juventus at CB and can provide cover at LB. Recently linked with Bayern Munich.
- Andrey Santos - Highly touted Brazillian youth. Depth in with Lavia's injury history.

Thankful Exit
- Kepa - Fuck that guy. Oh and fuck Courtios while we are at it.

Expected Exits
- Joao Felix - only room for one Joao
- Raheem Sterling - Hated this signing from day one
- Chilly - I'd expect him to wander off, but wouldn't hate him sticking around for depth and leadership
- Noni - Currently working on his contract with Arsenal as we play the CWC, talented but plenty of games was a black hole that played no defense
- Nkunku - Has been unhappy with his role for awhile since his injury.

I barely watched any European soccer this past season. Not much more than that the year before. I'd like to get back into it. Chelsea had felt so soulless and directionless for a few years there. Pretty good PL season and the CFC run has been fun. 

Get past Fluminiase or whatever the fuck and give someone a run for their money in the final.

[Matt Law]: Bournemouth have approached Chelsea over goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Deal not yet agreed and Chelsea will demand £25million. Sunderland, Strasbourg and others have also shown interest

Wesley Fofana: “I'm a Chelsea player and I'm proud, I don't want to go anywhere. I'm happy here, thanks. Is that clear enough?”

[BILD] Chelsea star on Bayern's list: Chelsea star Renato Veiga is on the Bayern list and has been watched by Bayern scouts for several weeks. On One condition: As a replacement for Min-jae Kim, if he leaves Bayern. Bayern would probably have to transfer around 35m euros to Chelsea as a transfer fee

The Telegraph: Crystal Palace have enquired about Chelsea wonderkid Josh Acheampong on a season-long loan as their latest short-term deal from Stamford Bridge.

[David Ornstein] Christopher Nkunku is again a target for Bayern Munich
