Chelsea have already put plans in place for the 2025/2026 season with two new players, despite Enzo Maresca's men still having plenty to play for in the current campaign.

The Blues have proved some doubters wrong this term, finding themselves in the Premier League top-four spots. After qualifying for the Conference League last season, Champions League football could well be making a return to Stamford Bridge.

With 10 games still left to play, the west Londoners are currently ahead of Manchester City and Newcastle. Tough matches against Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest await them in a crucial period of the season.

However, despite uncertainty over the European competition they'll be competing in next season, Chelsea have already agreed two transfers to improve Maresca's squad. Sporting CP starlet Geovany Quenda, 17, emerged as a shock arrival on Friday in a deal worth about €50million (£42.1m).

Manchester United have held AN interest in the teenager after Ruben Amorim handed him his debut in Portugal in August. However, a move to London has been agreed with the winger remaining at Sporting CP on loan until 2026.
