Chelsea might be in the FA Cup semi-final and have 11 matches left to play in the Premier League this season, but some people’s attention has already turned to the 2024 summer transfer window.
The future of Mauricio Pochettino remains uncertain with the club set to assess the Argentine’s situation in the summer. That has always been the plan and a lot will likely rely on what happens between now and the conclusion of the campaign.
Regardless of Pochettino’s contribution, the summer transfer window will be used for a number of strategic moves by Chelsea to bring in key player and remove those that are not meeting the clubs ambition and expectations.
What is the scenario regarding the transfers at Chelsea?
Chelsea, a club that is keen on emulating its trophy-winning elite adversaries, is also rumoured to be eyeing a wide attacker and a striker to strengthen their offensive line.
Victor Osimhen is the club’s top striker target still despite Paris Saint-Germain now being firmly in the race to sign the Nigerian striker. Viktor Gyokeres has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea with the Sweden international scoring 36 goals in all competitions this season for Sporting CP.
Ian Maatsen signed a new contract upon his agreement to join Borussia Dortmund until the summer. But the future of the Netherlands international remains up in the air with the Blues still viewing him as someone that could be sold to help with PSR in the summer.
Antonee Robinson from Fulham, who has been really impressive this season, has been looked at. However, there is nothing more than an admiration for the left-back as it stands, although that could change in the summer window.
Chelsea have already targeted next transfer window as the priority where the need to fill in the weak areas of the squad while allowing possibilities of player departures will be considered. It will be technical directors that hold the pivotal position with its aim to assist the club in the management of PSR compliance and acquisition of reinforcements to build a stronger squad for 2024/25 season.
