Chelsea's summer 2025 transfer window saw a significant reshaping of the squad, with several departures.
Jadon Sancho returned to Manchester United after Chelsea opted not to make his loan move permanent, despite a buy clause. The club instead paid a £5 million penalty to exit the deal, as negotiations over wage terms fell through.
The team's third-choice goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli, joined Manchester City for a nominal fee. He is a replacement forScott Carson, who left Pep Guardiola's team. Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, joined Arsenal on a permanent transfer.
Chelsea allowed Noni Madueke to join rivals Arsenal, while Portugal star Joao Felix finalized a move to Al Nassr. After playing 36 games during his solitary season at Stamford Bridge, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall joined Everton.
Armando Broja left the club in a £20 million move to Burnley, while Renato Veiga joined Villarreal for £26 million. Carney Chukwuemeka signed for Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund. Ben Chilwell joined Ligue 1 side and Chelsea-adjacent Strasbourg and Christopher Nkunku went to AC Milan for a big money fee.
Marc Guiu joined Sunderland on loan, while Nicolas Jackson moved to Bayern Munich on a short-term deal.
