Why though? Is there an actual number they can spend that they're close to reaching? Seems far fetched that they can't spend if they want when Barca are currently selling family members to sign players.
I think Chelsea or any club won't spent a quarter of a billion pound in a transfer window.
I think the new owner wants to get Chelsea to the top again but it can blow up in their face. Too many additions means time to bed in and it can take time, buying an entirely new spine in one window I can't see it.
Koulibaly, Fofana (if they get him), Cucurella, Sterling all need to bed in.
At some point I think Chelsea need a few sales, because they have a wage bill too which is growing.
Barkley, Mount, Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante, Havertz I mean how many midfielders do they need? they need to sell.
Yes they need a striker, and you could say Sesko maybe would be good for them but, you can't remodel your whole team in one window. They still need to figure out what to do with Werner. I can't see it personally.
