Chelsea Transfer News Today
Chelsea FC's summer transfer season is rumbling with sensational headlines. With Enzo Maresca and co-owner Todd Boehly in the command positions, the Blues are making a high-risk rebuilding of the squad. Today's transfer update comes with massive potential exitures, fresh sensational signings, and a tactical direction shift plan to bring back the team for the 2025/26 season.
Below is the full round-up of Chelsea transfer updates today – July 9, 2025.
Bayern Munich Transfer Tied to Christopher Nkunku
Christopher Nkunku may well be the Stamford Bridge next big exit as Bayern Munich accelerate their chase. Chelsea have put an alleged £60 million price tag on the French attacking midfielder. With Saudi Arabia also keen, Nkunku would prefer to remain in European competition.
Nkunku's experience at Chelsea has been marred by inconsistency and injury, and the club now considers him a priority sale in order to counteract Financial Sustainability Rules (FSR).
⚡ Noni Madueke on the Verge of Joining Arsenal
Noni Madueke is set to finalize a £50+ million Arsenal transfer, it is claimed. The former-PSV winger has had a brilliant stint under Maresca but is believed to be ready for a fresh challenge.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca made it unequivocally clear:
""Players who are not happy or don't fit our vision are free to leave.""*
This is a sign of an硬式文化转变, where attitude and commitment are valued above plain potential.
Axel Disasi Set for Villarreal Move
Axel Disasi, who was on loan with Aston Villa for the previous season, is in deep negotiations with Villarreal. Chelsea have set a €30 million valuation, and a deal is to be finalized soon.
Disasi is no longer included in Maresca's new defensive plans, especially after Chelsea's acquisition of a younger central defender to plug the hole left by Trevoh Chalobah, who is also reported to be on the departure list.
João Pedro Shines in Club World Cup Debut
Chelsea's new signing João Pedro, who was signed for £60 million from Brighton, made an immediate impact by scoring two goals on his debut at the Club World Cup. The 23-year-old Brazilian forward is already showing himself to be a worthwhile investment.
His combination of flair, finishing, and movement offers Chelsea a new attacking option that could define their 2025/26 season.
Chelsea Spending Spree Tops €800 Million
Chelsea's total transfer outlay on attacking players since 2022 has eclipsed the €800 million threshold, marking them out as one of European football's highest-spending clubs. This comes even though a comprehensive squad clear-out is looming, with up to 10 players poised to leave this summer.
Top names on the exit list are:
- Kepa Arrizabalaga
- Raheem Sterling
- João Félix (returning from loan)
- Armando Broja
- Bashir Humphreys
- Marcus Bettinelli
- Carney Chukwuemeka
