Ousmane Dembele has been linked to Chelsea since January 2022, and whilst the Blues have had to undergo drastic changes to the club it's a wonder as to why the deal has not been done yet. Chelsea are the only club that finished in the top four to have not made a move in the transfer window for the men's team It is still early days as we are yet to enter the month of July, but it is beginning to become a cause for concern.
Manchester City have signed Erling Haaland, Liverpool have signed Darwin Nunez, Tottenham have signed Yves Bissouma and Chelsea have only agreed on terms to let Romelu Lukaku leave. It doesn't look so great considering that the Blues will now be without Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia negotiating incomings and outgoings.
Todd Boehly has assumed the position as interim sporting director with a philosophy that keeps Thomas Tuchel at the centre of transfer decision-making. Seeing as Tuchel's interest for Dembele has been ongoing for some time, it's a wonder why it has not sailed over the line yet.
