Chelsea wants to close the transfer window with the arrivals of Simons and Garnacho

Chelsea are preparing to make a big splash at the end of the transfer window, with Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho emerging as the main targets to reinforce Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Chelsea eye double attacking signing
Fresh off their Club World Cup triumph, the Blues want to add more firepower to their attack. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are advancing for Garnacho, who has struggled to secure a consistent role at Manchester United.
The arrival of Xavi Simons, however, is more complex. The Dutch talent has admirers across Europe, and Chelsea’s move depends on clearing space in their attack before making a final push.
Outgoings key to new arrivals
Chelsea need to finalize departures to unlock the deals.
- Christopher Nkunku is on Bayern Munich’s radar.
- Nicolas Jackson has interest from Aston Villa.
Only after those exits will Chelsea complete negotiations for Garnacho and Simons.
Current squad dynamics
In the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace, Maresca left several sidelined players out of the squad. Instead, the manager relied on Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Jamie Gitten, and João Pedro to lead the front line.
Recent signings such as Estrella Willian and Liam Delap are also expected to feature more prominently this season, but fans are eager to see two marquee arrivals before the window closes.
