FootballTransfers runs through all the latest Chelsea transfer news, rumours and gossip, including updates on Victor Osimhen and Alejandro Garnacho.
Victor Osimhen update
Chelsea target Victor Osimhen is reportedly considering an offer from Al-Hilal as speculation over his future heats up.
The Blues are eager to land Osimhen, but Corriere dello Sport reports that Osimhen has been offered a contract worth between €30-35m per year from Saudi Arabia and he is said to be “very seriously evaluating” this offer, which is twice what he wants.
Indeed, it appears that a deal could be rapidly concluded as Al-Hilal want Osimhen in their squad for the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins in the US next month.
Chelsea want Alejandro Garnacho and Rafael Leao
Chelsea are reportedly “in talks” to sign Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao this summer.
The Blues are actively searching to bring a new right-footed left winger to the club ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and they have identified both Garnacho and Leao as key targets, as per multiple reports.
The west London giants are in informal contact with Leao, according to CaughtOffside, while TBR Football claim that Enzo Maresca’s side remain in touch with Garnacho’s representatives.
Joao Felix to Flamengo?
Flamengo are interested in signing Joao Felix, although Globo Esporte claim they are unlikely to land the Chelsea forward.
His salary demands are reportedly too high, while the Portugal international also has offers from European clubs.
Felix is currently on loan at AC Milan, however the Serie A giants will not sign him permanently this summer.
Leeds chase Djordje Petrovic
Leeds United have identified Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic as a key summer target following his impressive form on loan at Strasbourg.
The goalkeeper position has been identified as a priority area for improvement at Elland Road, after Illan Meslier’s poor form this season, and Petrovic is being targeted, according to TEAMtalk.
The Serbian’s representatives are reportedly aware of Leeds’ interest and a transfer could be on the cards amid Petrovic’s uncertain future at Chelsea.
Chelsea chase Nico Paz
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a “lucrative” offer for Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz as they look to land the Argentina international.
The 20-year-old is back on the Blues’ radar and they are set to launch a €30m offer this summer, as per Fichajes.
However, Tottenham Hotspur are also keeping tabs on Paz, while Real Madrid are interested in bringing him back to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Axel Disasi latest
Aston Villa are unlikely to sign Axel Disasi on a permanent deal and he will therefore return to Chelsea following the conclusion of his loan spell this summer.
That is according to The Athletic, who claim that Villa will instead pursue a move for Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera.
Disasi is still expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, however, as he has been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca.
