The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 25th May 2026!

Morning all,

Hope you’ve had a top weekend, some scorching weather here in the UK right now!

Yesterday saw the Premier League season draw to a close, and what a strange old season it’s been. Not a good one at all for Chelsea, but all we can do is move forward now.

You can grab my full thoughts and reactions on the Sunderland game here for the final time this season. All we had to do was draw and we’d have got Europa League football. But instead we lost, and we finish in an embarrassing 10th position. Disgraceful.

Then you can round up all your latest Chelsea news in the same place from across Sunday before and after the game here in our Blues News Report.

I had TWO sourced articles out yesterday. A big deep dive on the FULL story around the Enzo Fernandez situation and his future here. This covers it all from both sides of the story.

Then next up I have a general sourced article on the summer plans. I do have some names in this here, but we are expecting more names and news to trickle through as the days go by now.

And the last one for today is on Valentin Barco. Fabrizio Romano confirmed our reports on some doubts over what will happen with Barco. You can read all about that here.

There will be NO live blog today. As it’s a bank holiday here in the UK, and the last bank holiday live blog was DEAD on here and I also have family plans so will be out all day, I’ve decided not to run it today. I will treat it like a Sunday and come through with a Blues News Report later on tonight to round up all the news instead. Enjoy your day :)

Peace, Si.
