Raheem Sterling could end up playing under ex-Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in the 2025-26 campaign as Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly interested in the winger. The Chelsea outcast has been strongly linked with a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge this summer after a failed loan spell at Arsenal, where he scored just one goal in 28 appearances across all competitions, with Juventus also said to be weighing up a swoop.
Raheem Sterling is all set to leave Chelsea this summer and make a fresh start abroad with a Champions League club after a failed loan spell at Arsenal in the 2024-25 campaign. The English winger did not score a single Premier League goal and made only seven starts in the English top-flight for the Gunners. He returned to Stamford Bridge at the end of his loan spell, but was not picked in the Blues' Club World Cup squad.
Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Xavi Simons, who is open to the possibility of a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues, however, will have to make a sale or two before they can make a formal bid for the RB Leipzig star. Chelsea have already bolstered their squad by signing forwards like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, while Estevao Willian is also set to join the club.
Manchester United are reportedly ready to accept around £40 million ($54m) for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentina international among several players pushed out by manager Ruben Amorim. The winger was previously valued as high as £70 million ($94.4m), but growing interest from Premier League rivals may now lead to a cut-price exit for the 21-year-old.
Mikel Arteta explained why he keeps raiding Stamford Bridge for new signings after Arsenal completed Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga's transfer from Chelsea this summer. Madueke became the sixth Blues player to move to Emirates since Arteta took charge of the club and 10th player in the past 10 years. The Gunners faced criticism from fans following the confirmation of Madueke's arrival.
Chelsea are ready to bide their time in their pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho despite strong interest from Napoli. Manchester United hope offload Garnacho, along with three other outcasts, after agreeing to send Marcus Rashford on a season-long loan to Barcelona. The Blues are keen on signing a new winger but will wait to see if United will reduce their demands for the Argentine.
Jody Morris believes that Chelsea have a true superstar in Cole Palmer, and he has claimed that the young playmaker is in the same bracket as Eden Hazard when it comes to game-changing brilliance. The former Blues assistant manager is confident the England international can reach another level in the Champions League after starring in recent finals and delivering on the big stage.
Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has admitted to growing frustration in the transfer market after the Magpies missed out on multiple key targets to Premier League rivals, including Bryan Mbeumo, Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Hugo Ekitike. While Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been very active, Newcastle's transfer activity remains stifled due to financial restrictions.
