The Athletic website published an article introducing information about Chelsea's player transfers in the past week.

TA's article reads:

Chelsea originally hoped to introduce a right-footed left winger in the transfer market this summer. Muderick may suffer a long ban and strengthen their determination to do this. Now Chelsea's primary goal of signing in this position is Gittens, and they are also paying attention to Garnacho (Manchester United) and Malik Fofana (Lyon). Chelsea has already agreed with Gittens on a seven-year contract, but their last offer of £42 million for the player (transfer fees will be paid in installments instead of a one-time payment) has been rejected by Dortmund, and negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing.

In addition to the winger, Chelsea's other main goal this summer window is to introduce a forward versatile player who is paying attention to Kudus (West Ham), Joao Pedro (Brighton), Ekitic (Frankfurt), and Muani currently has no links related to Chelsea.

Chelsea has ended its pursuit of AC Milan goalkeeper Meinion after failing to agree on the terms of the contract, and the club believes it is unlikely that it will complete the signing deal for another goalkeeper this summer.

Chelsea, who valued Nkunku by £65 million in January this year, was once favored by Manchester United. Despite recent contacts, Manchester United has prioritized other strikers this summer. "He is our player now, Nkunku has performed well in the last four or five days and he may get some chances to play."

Jackson's future has received widespread attention after being sent off by a red card against Flamenco in Chelsea's match against Flamenco. Chelsea is not actively seeking to sell Jackson now, but does not regard him as a "untouchable" player like Palmer and Kesedo. Currently, there are Premier League and Saudi clubs interested in Jackson. The statement that Juventus and Naples are interested in Jackson has been denied because Chelsea believes that the two clubs cannot afford Jackson's transfer fees.
