It's been a rough few weeks for Chelsea fans. The Blues are currently headline news around the world with billionaire owner Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government and more recently the EU. Freezing his assets has had major implications on the club and the day to day running has stretched the Blues to the limits with complications with selling tickets, merchandise and even getting to games coming to the fore in recent weeks.
This has put huge question marks in Chelsea's ability to make moves in the summer transfer window but fans will have to hope that the ongoing situation cleared before the summer with a takeover.
Amid the ongoing situation, rumours continue to swirl about big name targets who the club could target this summer, as Thomas Tuchel looks to continue to build and put his stamp on the team. We've rounded up the latest Chelsea transfer news and rumours below.

Romelu Lukaku 'says goodbye' to Chelsea teammates
Spanish outlet AS has reported that Romelu Lukaku is already saying his goodbyes to Chelsea teammates ahead of a potential summer departure to former club Inter Milan. The Belgian has endured a difficult return to Stamford Bridge this season, whilst falling down the pecking order under Tuchel.
Lukaku controversially spoke to the Italian media admitting his desire to return to Inter earlier this season, with the side also showing interest in bringing him back. According to AS, Lukaku expects the move to happen.
Jorginho's dream move to return to Serie A
Another player who could return to the Serie A is Chelsea midfielder Jorginho. The Italian has been linked with a move away, after Tuchel has preferred to pair Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante together, with Chelsea getting Conor Gallagher back next season and hoping to be in the market for Declan Rice.
The Italian could be allowed to leave, with TuttoMercatoWeb linking him with Inter. Jorginho has been in the Premier League for four years, coming in when Maurizio Sarri came in in 2018.
