Chelsea Transfer News Today
As the summer transfer window peaks, Chelsea FC is breaking waves with high-profile transfers coming in and out of Stamford Bridge. The team, with new head coach Enzo Maresca, is busy to shape the squad for next season 2025/26. Here is a full breakdown of today's most important Chelsea transfer news and updates.
Noni Madueke to Arsenal Nearing Completion
Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is said to be finalizing a stunning transfer to Premier League rivals Arsenal. The two sides have reportedly agreed on a price tag of between £50–52 million, according to various sources.
Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in 2023, has not been playing regular first-team minutes. As per Enzo Maresca's new strategy, the 23-year-old is surplus to requirements. The player has agreed on personal terms with Arsenal and will sign a five-year deal. The deal is expected to be finalized within 48 hours.
✅ Mathis Amougou Transfer to Strasbourg Confirmed
Chelsea officially completed the permanent transfer of 19-year-old Mathis Amougou to their sister club RC Strasbourg. In contrast to news of a first loan deal, this is a permanent transfer, though Chelsea retained a buy-back clause until 2028.
Amougou's departure represents Chelsea's ongoing youth development process via loan or permanent transfer with RC Strasbourg as part of their multi-club model. The young midfielder signed a long-term deal with Strasbourg up to 2030.
Djordje Petrovic Attracting Premier League Interest
Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is also wanted by Bournemouth and Sunderland, for which Chelsea is willing to permit him to move for a fee of around £25 million. The 25-year-old Serbian international joined Chelsea in 2023 and was a usual reserve goalkeeper.
With new signings and Kepa Arrizabalaga's return from loan, Petrovic is possibly leaving for more consistent game time. Transfer talks are ongoing, and the transfer could be done before the window closes.
Nicolas Jackson Linked to AC Milan
In another huge Chelsea transfer update, forward Nicolas Jackson is under close scrutiny from AC Milan. The Italian giants are reported to be preparing an offer of €50 million for the Senegalese forward, who scored 14 goals in competitions in the last campaign.
Chelsea would hear out bids for Jackson, particularly with Chelsea still searching for attacking targets in the summer transfer window. Juventus, Napoli, and Atletico Madrid are also monitoring the 24-year-old.
✅ Recap of Chelsea Summer Signings
Chelsea have already been very hectic in the 2025 summer transfer window. Here are the confirmed signings:
Player | From | Fee |
---|---|---|
Mike Penders | Genk | £17 million |
Dário Essugo | Sporting CP | £18.5 million |
Liam Delap | Ipswich | £30 million |
Mamadou Sarr | Strasbourg | £12 million |
Kendry Páez | Independiente del Valle | £17.27 million |
João Pedro | Brighton | £55 million |
Jamie Gittens | Borussia Dortmund | £48.5 million |
Estêvão Willian | Palmeiras | £29 million (with £20m in add-ons) |
Total spend so far amounts to an estimated £227 million, placing Chelsea among the biggest spenders in Europe this window.
What's Next for Chelsea?
With a big net spend and Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations in the near future, Chelsea might go on selling players. Other names being suggested for moves are:
- Trevoh Chalobah (named with Nottingham Forest and Everton)
- Ian Maatsen (wanted by Borussia Dortmund)
- Conor Gallagher (Tottenham interest continues)
The Maresca transfer policy appears to be focused on nurturing youth, cutting down the squad, and building around influential young talents like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and Moises Caicedo.
Conclusion
The Chelsea transfer news of today says it all about a club in turmoil. With Noni Madueke's move to Arsenal almost done and dusted, Amougou's inevitable exit, and potential sales of Petrovic and Jackson, Chelsea are overhauling their squad financially as much as tactically.
For fans, the next few weeks have even more drama as the Blues balance squad depth and financial sense under the close scrutiny of Enzo Maresca and the club hierarchy.
Stay tuned for more updates and transfer confirmations.
