ROMANO REVEALS CHELSEA’S TRANSFER PLANS – INCLUDING ONE ‘HERE WE GO’ FOOTBALL TRANSFER EXPERT FABRIZIO ROMANO HAS OUTLINED CHELSEA’S FULL TRANSFER PLANS, GIVING BLUES FANS A DETAILED PREVIEW OF WHAT TO EXPECT THIS SUMMER.
Chelsea is gearing up for a whirlwind transfer season with the impending appointment of Enzo Maresca as their new head coach. Maresca, a seasoned coach with experience at Leicester City and as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, is about to ink a lucrative five-year deal with the Blues, who are shelling out a hefty £10 million to secure his services.
His arrival is expected to shake things up in the transfer market, with Chelsea eyeing up to four new signings to bolster their squad. While Maresca won’t have the final say on transfers, his insights are likely to carry weight with the club’s decision-makers, who are already in discussions to strengthen the team.
Chelsea’s shopping list includes a new goalkeeper, center-back, left-back, and forward, all in line with Maresca’s tactical preferences. They’re on the lookout for a goalkeeper who can kickstart attacks from the back, similar to Manchester City’s Ederson. Burnley’s James Trafford is emerging as a potential target.
Defense is another area of focus, with Chelsea eyeing Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo and Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo. Adarabioyo, nearing the end of his contract, is also drawing interest from other Premier League clubs. The departure of Thiago Silva has heightened the need for defensive reinforcements.
In attack, Chelsea is in pursuit of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who has impressed with his goal-scoring prowess in Serie A. Meanwhile, they’re also on the hunt for a dynamic left-back to fit Maresca’s attacking style.
Despite their ambitious plans, Chelsea must navigate financial regulations, but they remain confident in their ability to balance the books. This might involve offloading surplus players, with forward Armando Broja and midfielder Conor Gallagher likely candidates for exits, attracting interest from other Premier League clubs.
