TA: Chelsea still intends to Garnacho and Xavi Simmons, but it depends on the departure of existing players

The Athletic wrote an article analyzing Chelsea's recent transfer situation.

This is a busy week. In terms of signings, Chelsea introduced Dutch defender Harto for more than 40 million euros. They also signed England's U19 midfielder Jesse Delhi, who chose not to renew his contract and left Crystal Palace.

In terms of players leaving the team, Felix joined Riyadh with an initial transfer fee of 30 million euros and won the final terms and conditions, which may increase the total price to 50 million euros.

Burnley defeated the competition from many European teams and signed midfielder Ugo Chuku. They also reached an agreement with Chelsea on a transfer for striker Broa. Chelsea's asking price is £25 million, and the final amount is unlikely to be public.

Everton is in talks to sign midfielder Hall, with an initial cost of £25 million and discussions are still ongoing. Other Premier League clubs are interested in him. It is revealed that several Premier League teams have conducted inquiries, with Chelsea asking price of about 30 million pounds.

Sunderland is close to finalizing forward Jiwu's loan for a season. The negotiations included insertion of a clause similar to that of Bloya when he loaned Fulham last year, that is, if the striker did not reach a certain number of appearances, a fine would be paid. Sunderland is satisfied with the situation and does not think the clause will be a problem.

midfielder Kendry Pees and goalkeeper Mike Penders joined Strasbourg on loan for one season, while U21 defender Ish Smith permanently transferred for an undisclosed fee.

At the same time, U21 midfielder Leo Castledaine joined Huddersfield on loan, and another youth training echelon player, Alex Matos, is also close to leaving the team permanently.

Chelsea thinks their roster is better than last season. Two wingers who left the team, Sancho and Maduaike, have been replaced by Gittens and Estewan. With the arrival of Drapp and Joao Pedro, the front line has also been strengthened. In addition, the addition of Essugo and Andre Santos, who returned from Strasbourg on loan, provide additional midfield depth.

Signing Harto also fills a major vacancy in the roster, as Cucurella has a substitute for that position instead of having right-back Gusto or Rees James come in the cameo.

More players are expected to leave the team, especially on the offensive end, which will make room for more new players to arrive.

The only position they won't strengthen is the goalkeeper, which may be scrutinized by the fan base. Although he pursued Meinion earlier in the transfer window, Chelsea currently has no intention of buying another goalkeeper. They are satisfied with Robert Sanchez and Jorgensen's choices as the two main players. In fact, they rejected a Champions League club's offer to Jorgensen.

From the overall perspective, due to the large number of available candidates, head coach Maresca will have the opportunity to rotate.

Chelsea is the main goal of bringing in another winger and a creative player, with Garnacho and Xavi Simmons being the main candidates. The transfers of both players depend on the departure of existing players. Chelsea are in informal contact with Manchester United about Garnacho, but that's all. The same is true for

Harvey Simmons. No formal offer has been submitted to Leipzig. Chelsea has other target candidates for both positions, including Villa's Morgan Rodgers.

In addition, Chelsea is not eager to sell Jackson, but they are willing to approve his departure if they receive a suitable offer.

Chelsea are open to loan winger Tyrik George, but things have evolved since then. Chelsea is communicating with George’s representatives to determine the best options for the future. Pure lease is still possible, but Chelsea will not consider any proposals that include a purchase option.

is similar to Jiwu, and the club hopes to include certain conditions regarding playing time in the loan agreement. The possibility of a permanent transfer is also under discussion, but Chelsea hopes to add the buyback terms and second transfer share. Several English and European clubs have expressed interest in both schemes.

Nkunku has been allowed to absent from the early training sessions of pre-season training. He has caused inquiries from several clubs in England, Italy and Germany. Manchester United and Leipzig are seen as unlikely to sign him.

Jackson also received contacts from several clubs in England and Europe. Chelsea did not regard it as a non-sale product, but would ask for a high transfer fee similar to that paid by other clubs this summer to introduce main centers.

Chelsea is still working to advance the sale of Sterling, Chilwell, Renato Vega, Chuk Umeka and DiSassi. They hope to address where these players are going before the end of this week.

Alfi Gilchrist is still hoping to join a Championship team, but he may have to wait until the end of the month. Defender Anselmino was highly praised by Chelsea after integrating into the team and will be loaned out. Some European teams have already made inquiries.
