TA: Whether Simmons and others can join the Blues depends on whether there are players leaving the team. The team is paying attention to Isaac

August 26 News Recently, The Athletic wrote an article about Chelsea's signing direction and selling people.

What actions does Chelsea have this week?

Chelsea sold defender Renato Vega to Villarreal for about 30 million euros (including additional terms), and the contract also included a considerable second transfer share. In January this year, when Vega joined Juventus on loan, Chelsea also received a loan fee of 5 million euros. So, for the player who bought from Basel for €14 million last summer, the deal has brought a huge profit to the club.

In addition, Chelsea reached a £24 million agreement with Dortmund to sell midfielder Chuk Umeka, which also includes the terms of the second transfer share. The 21-year-old started only five times for Chelsea in three years and was loaned to Dortmund in the second half of last season. He has gone to Germany to complete the transfer procedures.

centre-back An Sermino will also join Dortmund on loan for one season, but there is no buyout option. BlueCo, the Blues' holding company, also finalized a transfer with Brighton and introduced midfielder Enciso. He will first become a member of Strasbourg and will return to Chelsea in the future. Since Chelsea has used up three loans in Strasbourg (Kendry Paiz, Mike Penders and Mamadu Sal), Enciso cannot be loaned to Strasbourg again.

Will Chelsea be unable to sell redundant staff?

The answer is no in terms of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Chelsea is already in a good position and has raised £226.7 million through player sales in this transfer window (according to German transfer data), which will increase once the Chuk Umeka deal is completed.

However, as The Athletic said last week, the situation in UEFA is more complicated because of its stricter regulations. Chelsea was fined a total of €31 million in July for violating rules on football revenue and team costs.

This will have an important impact on Chelsea's Champions League roster announced next week. As part of the "settlement agreement" with UEFA, Chelsea must ensure that the changes in the UEFA roster submitted this time are balanced with the roster submitted when they participated in the Europa League knockout six months ago, which will involve amortization of players' wages and transfer fees.

In the worst case, if Chelsea's subsequent transfer amount is higher than their spending in February, one or more of their new players may be excluded from the Champions League roster. However, Chelsea expressed confidence that there would be no problem.

Which position is Chelsea still looking for?

Chelsea are interested in Manchester United winger Garnacho and Leipzig attacker Xavi Simmons, but their joining will depend on whether any existing players leave the team, which is one of the reasons why they have not made any transfer moves so far. This is related to compliance with UEFA regulations.

In addition, Chelsea has given up introducing Villa's Morgan Rodgers in this transfer window because they don't think the player will be sold. Although the club has been linked to Arsenal’s target Inkapier, they are not actually negotiating with Leverkusen. At present, the team has no intention of buying a central defender.

Which players are likely to leave Chelsea?

At present, whether Nicholas Jackson will leave Stamford Bridge before the end of next week's transfer window has attracted much attention. The striker has attracted the interest of four Premier League and European clubs.

Chelsea is closely monitoring Newcastle's transfer situation regarding Isaac. Although Newcastle hopes to sign a center, according to The Athletic reporter Chris Waugh, there are some internal concerns about Jackson. However, the sale of Isaac will also affect the asking price when Chelsea negotiates with other clubs.

Unlike the unpopular players who were excluded from the main lineup, Jackson is still training with the first team in case he does not end up leaving the team and continues to play a role in the Blues this season.

The same situation applies to Nkunku. Chelsea has negotiated with RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, and two Premier League clubs have also expressed interest in Nkunku.

Bornemouth faces competition from two Premier League clubs in the fight for defender DiSassi, while Tyrek George has attracted the attention of two Premier League clubs as well as Italian and German teams.

Chelsea is still working on the departure of Sterling and Chilville, but there is no substantial progress yet.

forward David Fofana has received inquiries from domestic and foreign teams. Defender Gilchrist is expected to transfer to a Championship team.

U21 players may also transfer. Sam Lack Saki will be loaned out, Alex Matos has received contract offers from multiple clubs, just waiting for the transfer fee to be agreed, and striker McNeley may join a Premier League team participating in the European Championship this season.
