Fabrizio Romano has revealed significant developments involving Liverpool, Chelsea, and several Premier League transfers ahead of the summer window's close. Among the key points, Liverpool is actively negotiating with Crystal Palace for defender Marc Guehi, with talks progressing positively and the deal considered "ON" as of August 22, 2025.
Chelsea faces important decisions regarding their squad, particularly with potential outgoings to facilitate new signings. Romano highlighted that Chelsea is keen to sign Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons but must first complete player sales to balance the books. Christopher Nkunku remains a focal point in this regard. Regarding Chelsea’s midfielder Andrey Santos, Romano clarified that the club intends to retain him despite rumors linking him to Manchester United. Santos is seen as a versatile and integral part of Chelsea's midfield plans for the season.
Chelsea’s striker Nicolas Jackson is attracting substantial interest from multiple clubs. Romano reported that Newcastle United and Bayern Munich have recently renewed their inquiries about Jackson, while Aston Villa, under manager Unai Emery, is also actively pursuing him. The Chelsea camp expects a decision soon on Jackson's future, with his departure looking imminent to help unlock space for incoming transfers.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's long-term plans include the signing of Julio Enciso, who will spend the 2025/26 season on loan at Strasbourg before joining Chelsea on a contract until 2031. Enciso, a Paraguayan forward, had a difficult time at Brighton due to injuries but is considered a promising investment for the future.
Overall, Fabrizio Romano’s updates detail a transfer window marked by strategic sales by Chelsea to enable key signings, Liverpool’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements, and active interest in Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson from top Premier League and European clubs.
