FootballTransfers runs through all the latest Chelsea transfer news and gossip, including updates from Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer.

Jude Bellingham bid

Chelsea are planning on spending €150 million on Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham this summer.

That is according to Spanish publication Fichajes, who claim that Liam Rosenior’s side are ready to submit a €150m proposal for Bellingham in a bid to tempt Real Madrid into a blockbuster sale during the 2026 summer transfer window.

The England international remains an integral player for Los Blancos, having registered 10 goal contributions in 27 games this season, but it’s reported that returning to his homeland is “extremely appealing.”

Cole Palmer message

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior insists that Cole Palmer is “very happy” at the club amid speculation he could push to complete a move to Manchester United this summer.

FootballTransfers understands that Palmer is viewed as an ideal replacement for Bruno Fernandes by the Manchester United hierarchy, although Chelsea boss Rosenior has been keen to downplay reports of an exit over the past week.

Speaking after Palmer produced two assists during Chelsea’s 3-2 win over Napoli on Wednesday, Rosenior said: “He’s a world-class player. There’s been a lot of talk about Cole – he was a very, very happy man in the changing room after the game.”

Tyrique George to Man Utd?

Manchester United could reportedly pursue a shock move for Chelsea outcast Tyrique George, who is expected to leave Stamford Bridge before the end of the winter transfer window.

The England U21 international has made 11 senior appearances for the Blues so far this season, however he has only been included in one Premier League matchday squad since 25 October and the club are eager to sanction a permanent sale over the next few days.

Man Utd have now emerged as a possible destination for the 19-year-old, according to The Daily Mail.

Michael Carrick’s side are in the market for a new forward and INEOS’ preference of signing Premier League proven preference has opened the door for a move for George. The Red Devils are also reportedly keeping tabs on AC Milan star Rafael Leao, who is available for the right price, and Everton’s Illiman Ndiaye.
