This transfer window was always expected to be relatively quiet for Chelsea. With an oversized squad and financial considerations to address, the club’s primary focus has been on offloading players before making any new signings. Most of the activity revolves around parting ways with fringe players, such as Axel Disasi and Cesare Casadei, along with backups like Renato Veiga.
While rumors of departures dominate the headlines, speculation about incoming players has been scarce. That’s why recent reports linking Chelsea to Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel caused such a stir. The young talent has struggled for game time in Germany, and there were whispers that Chelsea might offload Christopher Nkunku to make room for Tel in a potential swap deal.
However, Sky Germany insider Florian Plettenberg has poured cold water on these rumors. According to him, Tel has made it clear he has no intention of leaving Bayern Munich and is committed to staying with the Bundesliga champions.
Although Tel’s arrival seems off the table, the Nkunku saga remains a possibility. Reports suggest Chelsea have “100%” agreed on personal terms with Nkunku and are keen to finalize a deal before the transfer window closes. If a move can’t be completed now, the club is prepared to revisit negotiations during the summer window.
Chelsea is not under immediate pressure to sell, and Nkunku has not expressed significant dissatisfaction with his situation. However, if he feels the club is blocking a favorable exit, frustration could begin to mount.
This situation remains fluid, and the days leading up to the deadline could bring further developments. Stay tuned as Chelsea continues to navigate a cautious yet pivotal transfer window.
