Chelsea’s season is back on track after a solid performance against AFC Bournemouth and with no major off-field distractions, manager Enzo Maresca can finally take a breather. However, the club’s relentless drive to reshape its squad continues, as speculation builds around big-name transfer moves for next summer.
One player lighting up the headlines is young Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian, who Chelsea signed earlier this summer but won’t see in blue until 2025. Despite his age, Estevao is already delivering standout performances for Palmeiras, pushing the club closer to the Serie A title. His meteoric rise has triggered bonus clauses, costing Chelsea additional millions but proving they’ve secured a potential future superstar.
In another bold move, Chelsea is reportedly preparing to go after Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez. The reported deal could include an £84 million fee, but the Blues might offer players like Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, and Carney Chukwuemeka in exchange. Mudryk, who has struggled to make an impact since his high-profile arrival, may soon find himself out of favor at Stamford Bridge if Maresca pushes forward with this ambitious transfer strategy.
For Chelsea, the pursuit of Martinez signals a desire to strengthen their attacking options, while offloading underperforming players to streamline the squad.
