The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 16th June 2026!
Morning all,
Hope you’ve had a top start to your week.
The transfer window is now officially open! So we can now begin weeks of mixed emotions and frustrations, no doubt! But as much as you might think you hate the transfer window, I know you all secretly LOVE it!! Here is what we MUST do this window. Do I have any faith we will do it? Nope, but I live in hope.
Marc Cucurella is off to Real Madrid, so I have written some words here on how I think his Chelsea career has gone. It’s been a mixed bag but overall, Cururella has been a decent signing for us.
And we also need to speak about replacements for Cucurella, as it could be some tough boots to fill. I have some exclusive names in here, with one name who has not been reported before (I don’t think so anyway). Check out the latest sourced transfer info in this.
There’s been a lot of talk around Dastan Satpaev in the last couple of days, with the youngster set to join pre-season under Xabi Alonso. But, is he truly ready for a senior squad role at the club or does he need to go on loan? It’s the latter for me. Read the story in full here.
And as always, you can round up all of your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. This covers all you need to know.
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.45am today on the home page!
Peace, Si.



You may live in hope but I am afraid mine has completely disappeared. We will see.
