Chelsea is back in the Transfer Market – 6 Transfer Rumors you need to know!

Chelsea is again in the transfer market and is looking for quite a bagful of options this summer to strengthen the side for the fight against Liverpool and Manchester City for the League title.

After the new takeover by Todd Boehly, Chelsea are once again having money in their wallet to go player hunting for the upcoming season. The team last won the league title in the 2016-17 season under Antonio Conte, and since then, it has been Manchester City and Liverpool taking the honor.

This year, the side wants to change that.

The last season was not something the team wanted to remember, along with the loyal fans that purchased Chelsea tickets, despite the side winning the FIFA Club World Cup. The UEFA Champions League winners of 2021 were the unfortunate bunch, losing both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup and then losing the fight in the Champions League in the quarterfinals.

The two finals were disappointing, despite the team playing their best. In the Premier League, the early indicators were all pointing at a three-horse race between Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. But Chelsea’s poor run made them leave the race mid-way.

Adding insult to injury came the Russian sanctions that led the club’s inspirational owner Roman Ibrahimovic sell the club. During this transition, there was a brief period where the government restricted funding, and the club was facing severe cash flow issues.

But that’s all in the past – Chelsea is looking brighter than ever, and Thomas Tuchel is all set to make their long-awaited signings for the upcoming season.

As Chelsea looks to build a championship-winning side again, here are the top 6 transfer rumors involving Chelsea.

1. Matthijs de Light

Matthijs de Ligt looks like he is closing in on the move to Chelsea as Juventus prepare for a life without the Dutchman.

There has been a new development on the move, with Juventus asking well below the £103million release the side has with de Light. There is tension built between the player and the Juventus board over his new contract.

This has led to this situation where both parties suggest a move-out as the best option.

Tuchel has preferred de Light to be in Chelsea colors and is pushing to make the deal happen before the window closes. There’s also a rumor of a potential swap with Juventus, with Timo Werner and Jorginho all listed on the transfer list.

2. Raheem Sterling

City and Chelsea have been at it with the transfers, and this window will be no different. The Premier League winners City are also on the hunt for big names as Guardiola looks for another title with City and is also trying to let loose some of their other players.

One of the hottest developments in the market is that Chelsea has won the Raheem Sterling transfer bid. By the looks of it, Raheem Sterling could be making the switch to Stamford Bridge, and the player announcement is already lined up.

The league winner is finding a new home for his next chapter of English football, and Sterling should be a done deal for Chelsea.

3. Raphinia

Another lead from Tuchel’s list of potentials is Raphinia, who has been outstanding for Leeds United. The team is in talks with Leeds are even prepared to pay over £50m to get the deal done.

The current Chelsea bid has surpassed what Arsenal has offered, but Barcelona has piqued interest in Raphinia. The 25-year-old Brazilian has been outstanding for Leeds in the last two seasons, scoring 17 Premier League goals.

4. Richarlison

Another Brazilian on Tuchel’s hunt list is Richarlison de Andrade, the player who single-handedly ensured that Everton stayed out of relegation last season.

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham has already made a bid, but Chelsea is willing to offer players plus cash for the Brazilain to make the switch. However, Tottenham is currently looking at a package deal to get Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, but Chelsea isn’t willing to back down.

After the Romelu Lukaku experiment failed miserably, Chelsea lost on the deal with Lukaku as he rejoins Inter on loan. Chelsea was sans a first-choice striker all season and filled the gaps with the misfiring Lukaku and Timo Werner.

With Lukaku gone, the need for a confident first-team striker is mandatory in this Chelsea line up and this transfer will be crucial.

5. Nathan Ake

Another City prospect that Chelsea is interested in has been Nathan Ake. They are looking for a double move with Sterling and Ake since Tuchel was in charge of Ake during his time at Borussia Dortmund and understood his potential.

At 27 years, the left-back has his strength on the left side and could be an ideal replacement for Antonio Rudiger or even fit in the midfield.

6. Neymar Jr.

With PSG announcing that Neymar is up for sale after the experiment did not work, Chelsea also seemed to be one of the teams that have approached the Brazilian. According to The Sun, Chelsea is the hot favorite to sign the Brazilain superstar as his former teammate Thiago Silva is adamant that his next move must be to Chelsea.

If this happens, Chelsea ticket holders will be flocking Stamford Bridge to watch the sensation in action.

Ronaldo is not for sale!

There have been rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo on a possible move to Chelsea as he had added that he needs to be playing in the Champions League. Manchester’s 68th place finish means that he only gets to be playing in the UEFA Europa League, and according to informed sources, there were bids from Chelsea for the 37-year-old.

However, the club has responded, stating that Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale and that the Reds’ legend wants to see the following year at United. Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes met the new Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly on Ronaldo, but the confirmation came from the new United manager Erik ten Hag, on his plans.

Ronaldo returned to the Premier League last summer, 12 years after he left for Madrid and scored 24 goals across the competition and was also United’s top scorer.

A team with Ronaldo and Neymar together might seem too dreamy for anyone with Chelsea tickets.
