Chelsea’s summer transfer activity is raising eyebrows once again, as reports suggest both Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson could be next in line for departure.
The news, shared by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, follows a wave of recent outgoings at Stamford Bridge in a bid to balance the books.
Striker Armando Broja, David Datro Fofana, and young talent Marc Guiu have already left. João Félix moved to Al-Nassr, and Raheem Sterling’s future is also under question.
Nkunku’s potential departure could be seen as harsh given his injury-riddled debut season and the club’s significant investment when bringing him to the club.
But with competition for places high and financial pressures mounting, his exit may be mutually beneficial.
Jackson, meanwhile, was one of the few players to find scoring form last season, but inconsistency and Chelsea’s ongoing search for elite forwards have cast doubt over his long-term role.

Why are Chelsea looking to sell players?
The situation underlines Chelsea’s shifting priorities. Where the club once stockpiled talent, they are now looking to trim quickly.
Premier League profit and sustainability rules have changed the market, and Chelsea are aggressively managing their wage bill and squad depth to stay compliant.
With less than a month to go in the transfer window, the departures of Nkunku and Jackson would mark a new phase in Chelsea’s transition under BlueCo — one where no name is untouchable.
