With the end of the season not far away, many clubs might already be laying down plans for the summer and the upcoming campaign. Chelsea should be one of them. It has been another year to forget for the Blues. Just when it looked like the project was heading in the right direction, things have been derailed.
The 2025 summer transfer window did more harm than good. Enzo Maresca would walk away from the club months later. And his replacement, Liam Rosenior, lasted just 107 in the job before being sacked.
Now, Chelsea need to bring in a quality manager to take the reins. At the same time, they also must strengthen the squad significantly, if they want to turn things around.
Italian media suggests Chelsea offer for Strahinja Pavlovic could be on the way
Chelsea will be looking to sign a centre-back or two this summer. There is no doubt about that. Their defence has been their biggest weakness this season, even though the lack of goals is emerging as an issue as well.
Strahinja Pavlovic of AC Milan is someone the Blues have been linked with in recent times. And according to reports in Italy, the club might be about to put in an offer for the centre-back in the coming weeks.
Fabrizio Romano delivers Andoni Iraola update
Coming to the club’s managerial search. Andoni Iraola is believed to be one of the favourites to get the Chelsea job next. And there is some more positive news in that regard.
When it was announced that Iraola would be leaving Bournemouth in the summer, there were suggestions that he would be looking to return to Spain. But Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Iraola would be happy to continue in the Premier League. That being said, the Italian journalist also made it clear that nothing is decided when it comes to the Blues’ managerial search.
Trevoh Chalobah extension talks are underway
After Reece James and Moises Caicedo, Trevoh Chalobah could be the next in line to land a new Chelsea contract. It is said that talks are already underway over an extension.
Of course, this will divide the opinion of the fans, many of whom believe he is not good enough to be a starter for Chelsea. That being said, he has been a mainstay in the starting XI. He should remain as a squad player at the very least.
