Chelsea Transfer Rumor Update: What’s New on Raheem Sterling, Lucas Paqueta, and Facundo Buonanotte

Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi Could Leave This Month

Raheem Sterling’s future at Chelsea is unclear as the club is open to selling the winger before the transfer window closes.

The 31-year-old has not performed consistently, even during his loan at Arsenal, and manager Liam Rosenior seems inclined to part ways with him.

Similarly, Axel Disasi is considering a move away, either through a loan or a permanent transfer. However, Chelsea faces a challenge since all six of their international loan slots are currently filled.

For now, Chelsea’s management is being cautious, focusing on sales rather than immediate loans as they aim to balance finances and manage squad size for the second half of the season.

Lucas Paqueta Emerges as a Midfield Target

Reports indicate that Chelsea has revived its interest in Lucas Paqueta of West Ham United as part of its long-term plans for midfield reinforcements.

The Brazilian international is attracting attention from various clubs this transfer window, and Chelsea is exploring the possibility of a deal amidst foreign competition.

Paqueta finds himself torn between returning to Brazil, where Flamengo is interested, and continuing his career in Europe. At 28, his representatives believe remaining in England could enhance his career prospects.

Tyrique George is Likely to Depart

Young winger Tyrique George is expected to leave Chelsea before the transfer window closes, whether permanently or on loan. The 19-year-old has not been included in six of the last seven matchday squads and hasn’t played in the Premier League since October.

Several clubs from England and Europe have shown interest in him, and Chelsea is open to both sale and loan options depending on the deal’s structure.

Teddy Sharman-Lowe Recalled for Goalkeeper Depth

Keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe has been called back from his loan at Bolton Wanderers. This decision comes as first-choice keeper Robert Sanchez made two critical mistakes in the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal.

Chelsea had a break clause in Sharman-Lowe’s loan agreement and used it to reassess their goalkeeping situation. He may now stay with the first-team squad for the remainder of the season as backup.
