Following the £117m arrival of Morgan Rogers, Chelsea still plans on conducting plenty of business.
Morgan Rogers joins a list of players making the move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have already snapped up Italian full-back Marco Palestra from Atalanta, Sporting Lisbon winger Geovany Quenda, and Dutch striker Emmanuel Emegha.
The £117 million move for Rogers will be spread with the way the Blues structure their deals, but there’s still a desire to get rid of dead weight this summer.

Chelsea eye two more key signings after Morgan Rogers
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are planning at least 2 more key signings and plan to make more than £300 million in sales, having generated £140 million so far.
Chelsea have generated the bulk of their summer funds from Marc Cucurella joining Real Madrid for £52m and Andrey Santos moving to Manchester United for £48m–£50m.
And many forget that the Blues further bolstered their figures by offloading winger Tyrique George to Everton for £24m alongside smaller academy departures, while receiving a compensation payout from Manchester City for Enzo Maresca.
Who do Chelsea want to sign?
With Xabi Alonso looking to reshape his defence, Chelsea are actively pursuing several targets to reinforce their backline.
Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix remains the club’s primary target, with the Blues advancing negotiations for the 26-year-old, though Palace are holding out for a fee around £60 million.
To provide an experienced and cost-effective alternative, Chelsea have also placed free agent John Stones on their shortlist following the conclusion of his contract with Manchester City.
Meanwhile, to replace Marc Cucurella on the left flank, Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria, though negotiations over his transfer fee remain delicate.
