When it comes to new players joining Chelsea, it’s safe to say this summer hasn’t been very eventful.

Even if they aren’t exactly Galacticos, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, and Tosin Adarabioyo aren’t terrible players, either.

Their most expensive and high-profile summer signing, Pedro Neto, was unveiled to the pitch at Stamford Bridge yesterday during the friendly versus Inter Milan, so it was expected that they would go all out with the media.

After that, he headed directly to Cobham for a practice. While the rest of the team slept after the game, Pedro stepped up his game. Preparation for this weekend is a race against the clock.

Uncertainty surrounds Conor Gallagher’s £33.7 million transfer to Atletico Madrid, leaving the Chelsea star in a state of limbo in Madrid

It has been reported that the transfer of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid is still uncertain.

The two clubs have agreed on a £33.7 million deal, and Gallagher will soon be joining Diego Simeone’s squad in the Spanish capital to finish a medical.

The transfer of the England international to Real Madrid, however, is now believed to be conditional on Atletico losing a player this summer.Following his impressive loan spell at Alaves, young forward Samu Omorodion was set to join the Blues. However, the transaction hit a snag on Sunday, causing it to stop.

The Telegraph reports that Gallagher is now in Madrid without a contract, with a potential transfer to Los Colchoneros depending on the Spanish club’s ability to raise finances through a sale.

Joao Felix is one player who could be the missing piece in the negotiating puzzle.After a brief loan with the Premier League team in 2023, the 24-year-old has expressed interest in returning to Stamford Bridge and has begun contract talks.

Despite his “love” for Chelsea and four goals in 16 Premier League outings, the club decided not to sign him last summer when Atletico Madrid requested £87 million to finalize his transfer to Stamford Bridge.

After talks of a permanent transfer to the Middle East fell through, Felix was once again loaned out for the 2023–24 season, this time to Barcelona.In 44 games for the Catalan club, he scored 10 goals, seven of which were La Liga goals, helping them finish second, only behind Real Madrid, who were running away with the league.

Reportedly, if Felix does decide to come to Chelsea this summer, it will be for a far lesser cost than the £114 million that Atletico Madrid paid Benfica to get him in the summer of 2019.

Felix would have to take a huge pay cut to fit into the club’s wage structure, but rumor has it that Atletico are willing to let him join the Blues for less than £40 million initially.
