View Chelsea summer 2026 transfer targets
Chelsea continue to keep their faith in Romeo Lavia after deciding to offload Andrey Santos to Manchester United.
Santos is on his way to the Red Devils after the Blues agreed on a package worth £50m earlier on Wednesday. He has undergone his medical.
Xabi Alonso‘s side are open to pursuing a new midfielder, but could also depend on their existing options next term.
Lavia has had an injury-plagued career with the Blues and has made just 43 appearances for the west London giants.
With Santos’ exit, Lavia is now considered the immediate backup midfielder behind Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
Despite his injury woes, the Blues’ hierarchy believe he has immense potential and can make amends with his performances.
Next season could be make-or-break for the Belgian, as the club are unlikely to remain patient with him much longer.
Chelsea recently confirmed the arrival of Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP. He is expected to bolster the right wing.
