Chelsea has signed Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for £117 million, making him the most expensive British footballer in history. Following this acquisition, Chelsea is in negotiations to loan Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa. The club currently has 38 senior players and anticipates further activity in the transfer market, especially with Dastan Satpaev set to join from FC Kairat in August. To accommodate new signings, Chelsea is open to selling players, including Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Trevoh Chalobah, and Marc Guiu. Others may be available for transfer if the price is right, although certain players are deemed untouchable, including Moises Caicedo and Estevao Willian.
