The 2023 summer transfer window is almost open. That's right, it's not even open yet.
The internet would make you think differently because Chelsea's transfer activity has been dominating headlines online in recent days. We are now one week away from the transfer window officially opening – but the Blues are looking to conduct early business to give them a head start on their rivals.
So much has happened already, though, with Chelsea already holding talks with numerous players over a possible move to Stamford Bridge in the summer. The Blues got relatively close to signing Manuel Ugarte from Sporting CP at the weekend, but Paris Saint-Germain increased their offer and Chelsea then pulled out of a move for the Uruguay international.
