Chelsea's transfer focus for 2025 is set on the center-back position

In a live broadcast today, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Chelsea's transfer focus for 2025 is set on the center-back position.



According to reports, Chelsea's 2025 recruitment plan will prioritize central defenders. Although signings in January are not confirmed, the club is closely monitoring suitable center-back options in the European market. Chelsea had considered signing Benfica’s Tomás Araújo during the summer transfer window, but the move did not go through as Benfica was unwilling to release him before the window closed. Romano further revealed that Chelsea will continue to closely observe center-back options across Europe to ensure ample support for their future defensive lineup.
