Chelsea look to not only be signing new players for the here and now this summer, but also planning and signing players for the future.
The club are working on signing a number of top young rising stars, having already added both Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina to the ranks, although Slonina is staying on loan with Chicago Fire until January.
But it is clear that they are building for the future, and especially in the midfield. This is probably because of the uncertainties surrounding many of their current midfielders, namely Jorginho and N’Golo Kante, who are now both into the final year of their contracts.
And according to Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, both players look unlikely to sign new contract extensions and both are still open to leaving this window.

This is probably why we are seeing Chelsea pushing so hard to sign Frenkie De Jong right now.
The younger midfielder’s needs their chance and TT needs to believe in them (the younger ones) as well!
Yes, i.think chelsea is right nkt renew the duo contract,Ngolo is.not the Ngolo we used to know due to severe injuries also age is catching up with him,Joginho is has deep inform has lost his midas touch.,let young promising enterprising players comes in to change world of chelsea
Some decisions are a little odd but we need a midfielder with same energy like Ngolo and Kovacic. Why letting Odoi off the hook. We got Connor McGregor but he’s not given a chance after being player of the season
Conor McGregor? He would certainly add a bit of steel to the midfield but I don’t know anything about his football skills being a UFC fighter.
I think you mean Conor Gallagher
Love to see Pulisic n Ziyech depart so that they can show TT their real capability.Sterling? Sorry… Thats why Pep released him.
It is not bad for them to leave because they have served the club well.
