FootballTransfers runs through the latest Chelsea transfer news, including updates on Raheem Sterling, Jeremy Jacquet and David Datro Fofana.
Raheem Sterling offer
Chelsea have offered Napoli the chance to sign Raheem Sterling on loan until the end of the 2025-26 season, as per Italian journalist Nicolo Schira.
The Blues are reportedly prepared to pay a large portion of Sterling’s wages in order to finalise a deal, although Napoli are yet to respond.
Sterling hasn’t featured for Chelsea so far this campaign, after being placed in their Bomb Squad, and he has been informed to find a new club as Liam Rosenior’s side aim to offload him from their books.

Jeremy Jacquet message
Stade Rennais boss Habib Beye has urged the club to reject Chelsea’s bid to sign Jeremy Jacquet this month amid advanced negotiations between all parties.
“I believe Jeremy is very important to our objectives, and if he were to leave, we would have to lower those objectives, because he’s a key player for us, one of the best on our team,” Beye told RMC Sport.
“We have to be able to resist this kind of approach. There are several factors beyond my control in this matter. We’ll see what happens in the coming days.”
David Datro Fofana recalled
Chelsea have reached an agreement to recall David Datro Fofana from his loan spell at Fatih Karagumruk amid transfer interest from Celtic.
The Ivory Coast striker, whose last senior international cap came way back in 2022, has enjoyed a prolific stint in the Turkish Super Lig and Chelsea have taken the decision to bring him back to west London before aiming to sanction a permanent sale.
That is according to BBC Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella and Fabrizio Romano, who have revealed there is “significant” interest in the 23-year-old from multiple clubs across Europe.
Enzo Fernandez to leave?
Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for Enzo Fernandez this summer amid growing rumours that he could leave the club in 2026, as per TEAMtalk.
The Argentina international is understood to be considering his future at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Enzo Maresca on 1 January and Paris Saint-Germain have already initiated contact with his representatives to gauge the possibility of a transfer.
Real Madrid are also interested in signing the 24-year-old and Los Blancos have reportedly received encouragement that a deal will be possible this summer.
Contract ultimatum
Chelsea duo Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo are reportedly set to be offered a transfer ultimatum following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
Both players will have two years remaining on their current contracts this summer and they will either be required to sign fresh terms at Stamford Bridge or face the possibility of being sold, as per BBC Sport.
It’s claimed that Chalobah and Tosin are set to reach a “crossroads” later this year, with both defenders potentially set to leave Stamford Bridge.
Yan Diomande confirmation
RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who has been linked with Chelsea, will “definitely” remain at the Bundesliga side next season, according to the club’s supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff.
Speaking to Sky Germany on Saturday, Mintzlaff admitted (via Bulinews): “As chairman of the supervisory board, I would say he [Diomande] will definitely be with us next season - even if there were an offer of €80m or €90m.
“You simply can’t let go of such a young player, whom we just signed, after only one year. He’s extremely young and playing his first Bundesliga season. We’ve worked to ensure that players can stay a bit longer.”
