All completed Chelsea transfers so far in 2025-26

Chelsea have been proactive in the 2025 summer transfer window, securing several promising talents to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The club officially announced the signing of Portuguese midfielder Dario Essugo from Sporting CP for approximately £18.5 million. Essugo, who impressed during a loan spell at Las Palmas, is expected to provide depth in midfield and compete for a spot alongside Moisés Caicedo.

Alongside Essugo, the Blues have also roped in winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP for a fee that can go up to £44, but he will stay in Portugal on loan this season.

In attack, Chelsea have activated the £30 million release clause to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. Delap's arrival adds a new dimension to the forward line.

Looking ahead, the Blues have also secured agreements for two highly-rated young talents: Estevao Willian from Palmeiras and Kendry Paez from Independiente del Valle. Both players are set to join the club officially in July 2025, bringing with them significant potential and excitement for the future.

The Blues made use of the short transfer window ahead of the Club World Cup to bring in Mamadou Sarr on an eight-year deal from Strasbourg.

Chelsea are in discussions with AC Milan regarding apotential move for French goalkeeper Mike Maignan. With Maignan's contract set to expire in 2026 and Milan facing financial constraints, the Blues see an opportunity to bolster their goalkeeping options.

The Blues have confirmed the £60m signing of Brighton striker Joao Pedro, who has joined the squad during their FIFA Club World Cup campaign. The Brazilian’s arrival adds flair and firepower to Chelsea’s frontline.

The club has confirmed the £55m capture of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund after the winger was spotted on the pitch after the Club World Cup quarter-final win over Palmeiras.

The Blues are reportedly in advanced talks with RB Leipzig over a deal to sign Xavi Simons. There are also talks of interest in PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

These strategic acquisitions and ongoing negotiations reflect Chelsea's commitment to building a competitive squad for the 2025-26 season.

Chelsea's summer 2025 transfer window has seen a significant reshaping of the squad, with several departures already confirmed and more anticipated as the club continues to streamline under Enzo Maresca.

Jadon Sancho is set to return to Manchester United after Chelsea opted not to make his loan move permanent, despite a buy clause. The club will instead pay a £5 million penalty to exit the deal, as negotiations over wage terms fell through.

The team's third-choice goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli, has joined Manchester City for a nominal fee. He is set to replaceScott Carson, who has left Pep Guardiola's team.

Axel Disasi, who spent the latter half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Aston Villa, is expected to depart permanently, while Christopher Nkunku'sfuture at Stamford Bridge is uncertain.

Ben Chilwell, currently on loan at Crystal Palace, is also likely to leave permanently, as the exiled full-back does not fit into Maresca's tactical plans. 

Carney Chukwuemeka, on loan at Borussia Dortmund, is another player expected to move on, and Armando Broja will also be offloaded.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, has joined Arsenal on a permanent transfer.

Chelsea have allowed Noni Madueke to join rivals Arsenal. Also on the verge of exits, according to reports, are Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson. Felix has finalized a move to Al Nassr.

Renato Veiga is being monitored by Borussia Dortmund after Niklas Sule's injury. After playing 36 games during his solitary season at Stamford Bridge, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has joined Everton.
