15-Second Brief
After Enzo Fernandez's departure, Chelsea are deciding whether to sign a new midfielder now or return to the issue in January. Offers under €55 million won't secure Lamina Kamara, and Tottenham are unwilling to let Lucas Bergvall leave for the London club this summer.

Following the departure of Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea are deliberating their approach in the transfer market. The club's hierarchy, alongside Xabi Alonso, is deciding whether to secure a new midfielder now or postpone until January.

Insider Fabrizio Romano has indicated:

Chelsea are currently in talks with Xabi Alonso about their next steps: whether to attempt to sign a player immediately or possibly revisit the issue in January. Even offers of €55 million would be insufficient for Lamina Kamara.

According to Romano, Chelsea have also made inquiries regarding a potential deal for Lucas Bergvall, but Tottenham are keen to retain the Swedish midfielder.

As a result, after selling Fernandez for a whopping £125 million, the Blues have yet to determine if they will seek a replacement before the transfer window closes.
