The winter transfer window opened on January 1st, 2023, and Chelsea are eager to bolster their squad following a slow start to the season. Injuries have been significant setbacks, and they require additional assistance to provide backup and power to the squad.
A number of players are still being linked, Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, and Enzo Fernandez, who are all being heavily pursued. Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana have already signed contracts.
Medical deal completed
Santos is one of the most highly regarded young Brazilian players, and he has recently received some high praise. Todd Boehly’s desire to sign quality players for the academy and first team is continuing.
Declan Rice remains a top priority.
Declan Rice, according to transfer guru Ben Jacobs, would be willing to join Chelsea this summer even if the Blues failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Rice would prefer to join a champion league football club, and Chelsea is the ideal fit. Ben Jacob told Simon Philips that Rice wants to join a Champions League club after the World Cup. Although UCL football is far from guaranteed for Chelsea next season, Rice is looking at the big picture.
“I’m told Rice would prefer a move to London, but it won’t be a deal breaker in his final decision. West Ham are resigned to losing Rice in the summer, and for a fee closer to £70 million than the asking price”, says the transfer guru.
