Liam Rosenior, the newly appointed manager of Chelsea FC, is set to engage in discussions with Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, both of whom have been sidelined from the main squad and are currently part of what is referred to as the 'bomb squad.' Both players, who joined Chelsea for significant fees during the 2023-24 season, have been placed on the transfer list and previously turned down loan offers.
Rosenior, who succeeded Enzo Maresca, is prioritizing the evaluation of his current squad as the January transfer window progresses, which has been notably slow. He emphasized the importance of assessing existing players before pursuing new signings. Chelsea is facing restrictions in the current transfer window due to UEFA regulations, which require the club to maintain a positive transfer balance.
Despite the challenges, Rosenior is optimistic about the club's future and plans to make significant signings in the summer, targeting high-quality attackers and defenders. The situation surrounding Sterling, who has attracted interest from Napoli, and Disasi, who is also on the radar of various clubs, will be pivotal as Chelsea navigates this transitional period.
