‼️ Chelsea will receive $29million for participating in the CWC, with the potential to earn a further $125m should they win the tournament.

@chelseafooty01

‼️ Chelsea have been planning to get their transfer business done as quickly as possible, certainly in terms of incomings.

They want the vast majority of the 2025-26 squad together at the CWC because they regard the competition as their main pre-season.


As far as acquisitions are concerned, Chelsea’s main priorities are a centre-forward and right-footed winger.

‼️ Even if they [Chelsea] do not end up in the Champions League, it is not the only barometer on how Maresca’s first season will be judged.

(SJohnsonSport)

@chelseafooty01

‼️Chelsea showed their intent by giving Maresca a five-year contract in June. This was a much greater show of faith in the Italian than the deal presented to Mauricio Pochettino in 2023 — he was handed a two-year contract with the option for a further 12 months.

‼️ We are consistently told that Winstanley and Stewart are going nowhere, and there is no plan to bring in Campos or anyone else above them in Chelsea’s sporting structure.

@chelseafooty01

‼️ They [Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart] were appointed to build out an organisation across all departments of the club, not just sign and sell footballers and select head coaches.

There are no indications that their positions are in any danger, and it is important to remember that the strategy they are following is the one that ownership wants implemented.

🚨 Chelsea are pushing for Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen and hope to sign him in time for the Club World Cup.

Bournemouth want a quick deal.

Multiple Premier League clubs are moving fast to try and finalise an agreement. No issue on club-to-club side, all about getting player buy in.

‼️ Chelsea have approached Juventus for Kenan Yıldız and are determined to accelerate negotiations with Juventus and his entourage.

(Santi_J_FM)

@chelseafooty01

🚨 Maresca views Fofana as crucial for building out the back and his style, meaning Huijsen could partner him in the left centre back position.

Enzo Maresca is keen for Chelsea to sign a ball-playing central defender to complement Wesley Fofana and also help to mitigate the impact of his absence through injuries.

🚨 Breaking: Chelsea will conduct a summer review of their GK position to establish whether or not they enter the market or choose two of Robert Sánchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic or Mike Penders to be their first-choice pair next season.

❌Links with Milan’s Rafael Leão are wide of the mark. Not a player Chelsea plan to pursue.

@chelseafooty01

🚨Chelsea are searching for a new national goalkeeper scout whose role it would be to inform on the recruitment of 13 to 21 year olds with the potential to eventually play for the first team.

Among the desires they want from those applying is that they are aware of ‘ALL’ the best goalkeepers in the 13-21 age range. They would need to compile weekly video assignments as directed by Ross Turnbull – the former Middlesbrough, Chelsea and Doncaster stopper who is now the goalkeeping scouting manager – and assist in collating background information on targets across the United Kingdom, including via social media.

‼️Romeo Lavia is expected to receive his first minutes for Chelsea in this Saturday’s showdown with Everton since March 16, most likely from the substitutes’ bench.

The Blues plan on treating Lavia with caution after his body has broken down on him more times than he and they would have liked. He trained fully at Cobham on Wednesday without any issues.
