Chelsea will have to look for transfer alternatives this summer, having missed out on a few options already in the window. While a bid was accepted by Leeds for winger Raphinha, the Brazilian stalled on a move to Stamford Bridge.
The forward waited and waited until he finally got his dream move to Barcelona, leaving the Blues looking elsewhere for forward options. While Raheem Sterling made the switch to west London shortly after, players continued to be linked.
Next up was Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry, who only had one-year remaining on his contract in Bavaria. However, he too chose a different path and looks set to commit his future to a long-term deal at Bayern.
