Chelsea are reportedly trying to sign two players this summer with the names revealed in a sourced report, one of them has a release clause.
The summer transfer window is expected to be a bit busier for Chelsea in terms of both buying and selling, after what was a bad winter transfer window.
The transfer window closed a couple of weeks back now and it was a very bland and strange one for Chelsea. They only made one signing and he is a player who is just expected to play as a deep backup option this season and then probably go on loan in the summer.
Other than that, Chelsea just loaned a bunch of players out with the only permanent one being Cesare Casadei to Torino in the end.
So we do expect things to heat up a bit for the next transfer window that opens at the end of this season.

According to a sourced report from TEAMtalk this week, Chelsea are keen on signing Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window, with agent contact being made.
Huijsen has a release clause that becomes active in the summer, and Bournemouth are trying to tie him down to a new deal that would increase the amount. The report claims his release clause is £50m.
Chelsea are also apparently looking into a possible deal for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams as well.
The Spain international winger’s release clause in his contract at Bilbao is £49million, so both players together can be signed for less than £100m according to this.
Let’s see what happens here and if Chelsea do decide to go for either of them.
