The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 2nd June 2025!

Morning!

I hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the Champions League final that ended up being far too easy for PSG. Someone check in on Jai will they!? Poor lad!

Chelsea have just 16 days before we play our next game which comes in the 2025 Club World Cup. It’s nowhere near enough time off for them all, which they need mentally and physically. But, taking away the ugly side, I can’t help but look forward to a summer of Chelsea playing! And there are some positives too as well as the negatives - too much football is not good for the players and coaches. I’ve previewed the competition here as well as looked at our group confirmation.

To grab ALL your latest Chelsea transfer news from across all sources, outlets, and any further snippets I’ve had from across Sunday as the transfer window opened yesterday (summer window dates in featured image), check in here.

Yesterday, I also rounded up ALL of our insider sourced transfer news on a bunch of names and situations including Ekitike, Osimhen, Gyokeres, Delap, Branthwaite, Guehi, Hato, Zabarnyi, Konsa, Gittens, Williams, Doku, Rodrygo, Eze, Rogers, Maignan, Garcia, and MORE.... Check in on that in full here.

I’d love Chelsea to sign Jarrad Branthwaite, he’s probably the centre back I want the most. He ticks A LOT of the boxes we need. Let me explain why I back signing Branthwaite here and why the left-footed ‘issue’ is actually not even an issue.

We are awaiting to hear the outcome of whether Chelsea are signing Jadon Sancho this summer or paying to send him back to Manchester United. There was some community votes that you can see here, as the man clearly divides opinion! I’m on the fence a bit on this one.

Right, see you all on the next live blog from 8.30am today, I’m expecting it to be very lively with the transfer madness really beginning now as Chelsea look to get some deals done BEFORE the CWC starts.

Peace, Si.
