Chelsea have been characteristically busy in this summer’s transfer market as Enzo Maresca attempts to build upon a strong debut season in west London.
The Blues have, once again, signed an array of the brightest young talents from across the world, with their spending total just below the £250 million ($336 million) mark. Despite Maresca calling for the club to sign experienced heads last season, the oldest of their summer signings is João Pedro aged 23.
To facilitate another flurry of incomings, Chelsea have been busy selling peripheral figures. They have done an impressive job of recouping funds and have almost balanced the books on this summer’s spend, with nearly 20 departures having been finalised on either permanent or temporary deals.
However, Chelsea find themselves in a position where they must raise even more money through player sales before the transfer window slams shut to ensure they avoid punishment from UEFA ahead of the 2025–26 Champions League.
