Chelsea Transfer Rumours

02 Jun 2026 18:31:24
My mate, the not so happy Hammers fan tells me we have not only asked about Bowen but also Fernandez.
I think both are good players and if we are going for Fernandez that suggests to me that Enzo is likely to leave.

Ed, you got any inside Liverpool info on Konate?

The Athletic are reporting we've started talks with him, but others have said we're not interested. I'd also assume he'd have better options (Madrid or Bayern) to win now, rather than the current Chelsea project.

{Ed001's Note - I don't mate, there was not the interest in him he was expecting, so not sure what will happen.}

02 Jun 2026 10:43:01
I wouldn't want him at our club. I have a Liverpool supporter mate who refers to him as "the boat", and that doesn't paint a good picture.

02 Jun 2026 11:42:41
I'm with you Tom. Ed may have a differen view but, for me, he's a player who has benefited from Van dijk being alongside him, looks lost when expected to step up in his absence. Much better CB options out there for us, all be it not on a free transfer.

{Ed001's Note - he is a nightmare, wanders around aimlessly. I am glad he is gone from Liverpool so certainly wouldn't recommend someone else signing him.}

The boat? More like the Titanic.

Hi Ed,
This might sound a silly question but does the club now not in Europe have a completely different transfer targets than if we were.
I ask because of players like Rogers would never join this summer now, but Wharton for example still would.
Or is Chelsea still appealing even though we finished 10th.

Hope this makes sense.

{Ed001's Note - difficult to say as Alonso has changed the targets anyway. I would expect it to still appeal to some.}

29 May 2026 09:36:43
What do you think it will do, Steve? It will mean trimming our squad, which is too big now that we are not in Europe.

29 May 2026 11:05:53
That is interesting ED01 that Alonso has changed the targets, that is good to hear.

27 May 2026 22:25:17
Can't believe I'm saying this but - Wirtz to Chelsea, surely not Ed? Silly season has come out swinging this year.

{Ed001's Note - it is purely because Alonso is there that it has come into question. I am sure Xabi would love to work with him again and it would make a potential replacement for Enzo, but I can't see it happening.}

27 May 2026 22:15:16
Wirtz to Chelsea. Vey, very unlikely in my opinion.

Didn't have a good season for the scousers but he is a player I rate very highly.

My guess is it's more about him playing well for Alonso.

Love the rumours.

27 May 2026 21:46:23
Chelsea are in discussions about a Newcastle player and they have asked about Delap.

28 May 2026 08:26:41
Probably Tripper Tom, knowing our lot.

27 May 2026 18:33:18
This is what happens when rumours get out of control. Apparently we will ask for cash and Hujsen if RM actually do want Enzo.

27 May 2026 18:24:41
You might get your wish, Tom. Reports that Gusto has asked to leave. Apparently he wants to be first choice RB and feels James is blocking that pathway at Chelsea. If that is the case, it’s another rat jumping overboard. Wonder if they’ll be disappointed when they realise the ship wasn’t sinking quite as fast as they thought.

27 May 2026 18:56:26
J, That would be good news but he will probably prove me wrong and be brilliant at another club.

Sell Fofana and I'm a happy old bunny!!

27 May 2026 19:59:28
Sell? Buy Gusto and you get Fofana free, is what I was thinking.

26 May 2026 07:45:58
ED01, any truth in the rumour that Oracle will be the new Chelsea FOS sponsor from next season? Thankyou for any information you may have.

{Ed001's Note - it is not really my area, but I was told the new shirt would be launched soon with Oracle on the front. So it does seem to be true, but, like I said, it is not really my area and it might simply have been that my friend saw a mock up to try and attract an advertiser, rather than the final design.}

26 May 2026 10:22:19
That would be good news. A long term deal would be better than the two partial season sponsors and the in-house deal. 🤞

26 May 2026 12:48:44
Absolutely agree, Tom.

26 May 2026 13:16:26
Also, I wouldn't have a problem with the Stadium being branded "The Oracle Stadium."

26 May 2026 15:53:08
Let's not get carried away, Tom, we have to get a FOS first.

26 May 2026 07:24:40
Woke up this morning with two messages about players leaving.
Apparently Cucarella is going to Athletico Madrid (no shock) and Pedro will be sold for offers above €120m.

If that is the case, maybe Alonso is ok with Jackson and the lad we have signed from Strasbourg.

It's all just a bit fun. I love the rumours.

26 May 2026 17:43:27
Pedro is better than both.
