Chelsea’s 2025 Summer Transfer Signings: Full List So Far
As the 2025 summer transfer window unfolds, Chelsea are making bold moves to reshape their squad under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Fresh off a successful 2024/25 campaign that saw the Blues lift both the Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, Chelsea are wasting no time in building a competitive team for the 2025/26 season. Following a turbulent year in the Premier League marked by squad overhauls and management changes, the club is now actively backing Maresca’s long-term vision.
Their transfer strategy so far reveals a clear focus: invest in youthful talent with high potential, reinforce key positions, and ensure squad depth for a packed fixture list across multiple competitions.
All Chelsea Signings in the 2025 Summer Transfer Window
Dário Essugo
Chelsea kicked off their summer business by landing 19-year-old midfielder Dário Essugo from Sporting CP in a deal worth approximately £18.5 million. After a breakout loan spell at Las Palmas, the Portuguese youngster is expected to bring energy and competition to the midfield, joining the ranks alongside Moisés Caicedo.
Geovany Quenda
Another promising addition from Sporting CP is Geovany Quenda, a dynamic winger whose transfer could reach £44 million with add-ons. While highly rated, the teenage talent will remain on loan in Portugal for the 2025/26 season to continue his development.
Liam Delap
Chelsea also strengthened their attacking options by triggering the £30 million release clause of Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. Known for his aggressive playing style and versatility, Delap is expected to feature in the upcoming Club World Cup campaign.
Mamadou Sarr
To bolster their defence, the Blues signed Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg on an eight-year contract. The young centre-back adds depth and long-term promise as Chelsea prepares for a demanding schedule next season.
João Pedro
One of the standout signings is João Pedro, who joined from Brighton & Hove Albion on July 2, 2025, for an initial fee of £55 million, potentially rising to £60 million. The Brazilian forward made an immediate impact after being drafted into the squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Jamie Gittens
On July 5, 2025, Chelsea secured the signing of highly-rated England U21 winger Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. The deal is reportedly worth £48.5 million, with possible add-ons pushing it to £52 million. Gittens, who previously spent time in the Reading and Chelsea youth setups, returns to London on a seven-year contract after a stellar development period in Germany.
