Chelsea, first clean up before recruiting additional summer transfer market!JACKSON's future is a variable

Jul 15, 2025

[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Chelsea is revitalizing the offense by recruiting Liam Delap, Joao Pedru and Jamie Gittens in this summer's transfer market. However, additional recruitment depends on whether existing players leave or not.

Noni Madueke and Jorge Petrovic have already left the team, and Nicolas Jackson's future is also uncertain. Jackson is not on the transfer list immediately, but several clubs are still interested. In particular, this summer, while striker demand is high, there is a lack of sales, so Jackson's situation is likely to change rapidly depending on the market trend.

Currently, João Pedro and Liam Delap are one step ahead in the central striker competition in Chelsea. The club is also planning a scenario with the possibility of Jackson's departure in mind. If Jackson leaves the team, he is also considering placing Pedro Netu at the center and recruiting additional new side resources.

Chelsea would ideally like to start next season with three 'advanced strikers capable of playing nine rolls. For now, however, the tactical concept is bound to change depending on the liquidity of the transfer market and the arrangement of existing resources.

In the goalkeeper position, Roberto Sanchez emerged as a candidate for 'number one' through his performance in the Club World Cup final. At that time, Sanchez was selected as the tournament's best goalkeeper by making super saves several times.

Chelsea asked AC Milan last month about the possibility of signing Mike Merrill, but negotiations have not progressed. For now, the possibility of recruiting a new goalkeeper is low, and Sanchez and Philip Jorgensen are expected to compete for the main position next season.

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Belgian goalkeeper will be loaned to Strasbourg, France, and will seek to grow through his hands-on experience.

Chelsea plans to reorganize its competitive structure within the squad and complete the composition of next season in a flexible manner in line with the reorganization of the squad and market trends. Jackson's direction is expected to be the first turning point.
