Transfer update

🚨 Chelsea fans, here's a question that could divide the fanbase! 😳💙

Romeo Lavia or Andrey Santos — if one had to leave this season, who are you sacrificing? Loan? Sell? Or do both stay and fight for their place under Xabi Alonso?

Blues, what's your decision? 🤔🔥👇

🎴| EXCL: Steven Gerrard reacts on Tuchel's decision to leave Palmer out of the World Cup squad:

“The moment I saw Cole Palmer's name missing from England's World Cup squad, I was stunned.

I genuinely couldn't believe it.

We're talking about a player who, in my opinion, was the best English footballer just a season ago.

That alone makes this decision difficult to understand.

I still don't know what metrics Thomas Tuchel used to leave him out.

Maybe he saw something others didn't. But from where I'm standing, it's a huge call.

Cole is a player who gives you something that other players simply can't. He has the ability to create chances, unlock defences, and produce moments of magic.

Yes, he hasn't been at his best recently. Nobody can deny that. But players of his quality don't lose their talent overnight.

Major tournaments are often decided by special players. Palmer is one of those players. He's the type you simply can't leave behind.

The decision has been made now, and we have to respect it.

All we can do is hope Tuchel's gamble pays off and England achieve their goal."

🚨 Chelsea interested in Maxence Lacroix! 🔵👀🇫🇷

Chelsea are closely monitoring Maxence Lacroix as Xabi Alonso looks to add another centre-back ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Crystal Palace defender has emerged as one of the club's defensive targets after helping Palace secure the UEFA Conference League title. At 26, Lacroix is entering his prime and is viewed as a player capable of strengthening Chelsea's defensive options immediately.
