Chelsea transfer news: Done deals, rumours, ins and outs
Your complete guide to the latest Chelsea transfer news for the 2024 summer window.
If there's one thing Chelsea owner Todd Boehly loves doing, it's splashing the cash in transfer windows - and this summer is no exception.
The Blues are embarking on their first season under Enzo Maresca after Mauricio Pochettino left Stamford Bridge.
Ex-Leicester boss Maresca will be keen to put his stamp on Chelsea's bloated squad, while also complying with Financial Fair Play rules, which will surely mean a few departures.
RadioTimes.com has rounded up the latest Chelsea transfer news, rumours and confirmed deals below.
Chelsea transfer news and rumours
Updated: August 12th 2024
Maresca has already been busy this summer and many thought his main signing would be from his old side Leicester, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall heading to Stamford Bridge. However, Chelsea then decided to move for Wolves' Pedro Neto, with the winger joining in a £54 million deal.
They are joined by Estevao Willian, who will head to Chelsea next summer, as well as Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo. Aaron Anselmino and Caleb Wiley were also signed then immediately loaned out.
The Blues have managed to raise funds for incoming signings by selling players deemed surplus to requirements, with Ian Maatsen heading to Aston Villa, Lewis Hall joining Newcastle and Omari Hutchinson completing a move to Ipswich Town.
Conor Gallagher will be another exit this summer, with Atletico Madrid hoping to land the all-action midfielder.
There was a deal in place to send Gallagher to Atletico, with Samu Omorodion heading in the other direction. However, the Omorodion move collapsed, meaning ex-Blues loanee Joao Felix could be heading back to Stamford Bridge as the Spanish side look to save the Gallagher transfer.
It also remains to be seen whether Chelsea will make a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who is set to leave Italy this summer.
The Blues could have a bargaining chip in Romelu Lukaku, with Napoli boss Antonio Conte a big fan of the forward. It's claimed the Italian outfit have made an offer for Lukaku but the sides are apart in their valuations.
