During the summer transfer window of 2024–25, Chelsea has been highly active in the transfer market. The Blues strengthened their roster and filled key spots while making a number of exciting acquisitions and bidding farewell to players with heavy hearts.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Chelsea’s perplexing and unorthodox approach to the transfer market has undoubtedly drawn attention, dividing supporters and leaving impartial onlookers completely confused. Even though they eventually trimmed the roster, there was a time when more than forty players were on the first team, and almost half of them trained apart from Enzo Maresca’s starting lineup.
While it’s important to recognize that Chelsea has acquired a large number of good players, the aggressive stockpiling strategy as well as the treatment of some of the current squad members have garnered harsh criticism.
Whether Chelsea supporters agree with the club’s plan or not, it is evident that the team is devoted to selecting up-and-coming players from around the world and developing them into great players instead of opting for well-established stars.
This strategy has been clearly demonstrated this summer with the recruitment of multiple talented players under the age of twenty-one, including Marc Guiu (18), Estevao Willian (17), Omari Kellyman (18), Aaron Anselmino (19), Renato Veiga (20), and Caleb Wiley (19).
Tosin Adarabioyo left Fulham on a free transfer to bolster the defense with established Premier League experience. In a deal worth up to £35.4 million ($45 million), Dewsbury-Hall reunited with his former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca, and to strengthen the goalkeeping unit, Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen was brought in from Villarreal.
Joao Felix re-signed for the Blues, this time on a permanent basis, and Pedro Neto also joined the team for £54 million ($69 million). Just as you were about to give up on them for the window, Jadon Sancho signed on loan on the deadline day, with an obligation to sign permanently the following summer.
There’s still no top No. 9 striker in the building after spending over £200 million and all the attention and activity surrounding Napoli’s Victor Osimhen throughout the summer.
