Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed a double Chelsea windfall as a late night deal is confirmed on Wednesday.
Chelsea have been busy this week getting outgoing deals done and money coming in – it really has been the ‘outgoing deal’ week at Stamford Bridge as they confirm departures for a number of players.
Striker Marc Guiu has joined new Premier League club Sunderland after completing his medical there yesterday in what will be a season long loan deal for him.
And another striker, Nicolas Jackson, also looks set to depart the club this window as well, although Chelsea are demanding a massive £80m to sell him this window.
There are more deals in the works and going through as well, and two of them were being spoken about by Romano last night.
Lesley Ugochukwu winning a midfield battle.
Romano wrote on his X account over night:
“Chelsea receive fee around £45m from Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja permanent sales to Burnley.
“Broja sold at £20m, Lesley Ugochukwu sold at ~£25m.”
To get that amount from these two players is really quite remarkable and praise and applause must be given out to Chelsea for that. They have been doing some excellent outgoing deals so far this window.
Chelsea could end this window strong by getting more and more outgoing deals done as there are still many to get done.
They still need to find moves for players such as Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling, and Ben Chilwell, which could prove to be the toughest three players to move on in the squad right now.
