Chelsea’s summer transfer strategy is entering its most delicate phase, with two marquee signings—Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons—on hold until key exits are finalized.
According to multiple reports, including Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has agreed to personal terms with Garnacho, the explosive Manchester United winger, and is in advanced talks with RB Leipzig for Simons, the Dutch playmaker. But there’s a catch: Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson must leave first.
💰 Financial Balance and Squad Space
Chelsea have already spent close to £250 million this window, and with Premier League squad limits and Financial Fair Play regulations looming, the club is prioritizing outgoings before incomings. Nkunku is reportedly in talks with Bayern Munich, while Jackson’s representatives are exploring options abroad.
Until those deals are finalized, Chelsea are holding off on formal bids for Simons and Garnacho. The club’s hierarchy is determined to avoid an overcrowded squad and maintain financial discipline.
🔥 Garnacho: Ready to Move
Garnacho, who has fallen out of favor under new United boss Ruben Amorim, is reportedly keen on a move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea sees him as a dynamic wide option who can add pace and creativity. However, United’s £50 million valuation remains a sticking point, with Chelsea hoping to negotiate closer to £30 million.🎯 Simons: Talks Progressing
Simons is seen as a transformative figure for Chelsea’s midfield. While verbal discussions with Leipzig are ongoing, the club won’t finalize the deal until Nkunku’s exit is confirmed. Leipzig are open to selling, but Chelsea must first free up funds and squad space.
⏳ Race Against Time
With the Premier League registration deadline approaching, Chelsea must act fast. If manager Enzo Maresca wants either player available for the season opener against Crystal Palace, paperwork must be completed by Friday noon.
The message from Stamford Bridge is clear: sell first, then strike. If Chelsea can offload Nkunku and Jackson in time, fans could see two of Europe’s brightest young stars donning blue before the window slams shut.
