Chelsea are making some major plans right now and since the summer transfer window closed, all attentions turned to backroom structure and hiring more executives and experts for various departments at the club.
Todd Boehly has been doing it all right now, so he clearly needs some help and to take the weight off. Chelsea will look to bring in more people to take various roles, which will eventually have them ticking over with a top-quality recruitment department.
Whilst this is all going on, plans will also be taking shape for both the coming January transfer window, as well as the plans for next summer as well. This is quite normal for clubs to prepare and plan well in advance.
As with defenders the summer just gone, the issue will be with midfielders next summer, with two key players, N’Golo Kante and Jorginho, both becoming free agents then as things stand.
Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano believes Chelsea will focus on new midfielders in 2023.
On his latest Substack newsletter, Romano writes: “In my personal opinion, they need some energy and freshness in the midfield.
“It’s important to understand what’s gonna happen with Kante and Jorginho’s contracts; I think they will focus on a new midfielder in 2023.
“Now it will take some time to understand Freund and Potter’s priorities.”
Chelsea FC is good but MU is the best.
