The summer is delivering so many transfers in the Premier League, with players also being released (and of course loaned out) ahead of the much-anticipated 2022-23 Premier League season.
With Jules Kounde reportedly nearing a transfer to Barcelona, Chelsea are said to have blocked negotiations with the Catalan club over moves for Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta. The two clubs have crossed paths in the summer transfer window on several occasions, with Barca landing Raphinha amid interest from Chelsea, while Andreas Christensen swapped Stamford Bridge for Camp Nou after running down his contract. Ad/> Chelsea and Barca have been vying for the signature of Sevilla centre-back Kounde, and though the Blues were seemingly close to signing the Frenchman, it has since emerged that the Spanish club are favourites.
As it stands, Chelsea have less than two weeks to have their squad assembled in time for the start of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. The Blues have made two crucial signings for their upcoming campaign but there has yet to be any notable changes in the squad overall. Thomas Tuchel has a bulk of options across the field, but is significantly lacking in the defensive area.
