Chelsea has advanced in negotiations with Brighton & Hove Albion to finalize the signing of 35-year-old forward Danny Welbeck this summer transfer market, as reported by The Athletic.

The arrival of the forward is a direct request from coach Xabi Alonso to compete up front with João Pedro and Emmanuel Emegha, a decision that implies the immediate exit of Nico Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu. The three are not part of the plans of the Blue's new head coach.

The departures of Nico Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu

Chelsea's sports management has officially informed Nico Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu that they are not part of the tactical plans of the coaching staff for the 2026/2027 season. The three attackers have the club's approval to negotiate their transfers before the end of the summer transfer window.

The restructuring led by the BlueCo ownership group aims to renew the attacking line to grant starting status to João Pedro. Additionally, newcomer Emmanuel Emegha, signed from Strasbourg, will have to compete for minutes from the bench while the management seeks permanent solutions in the market for Jackson, Delap, and Guiu.

Danny Welbeck, the option requested by Xabi Alonso

To complete the offensive rotation, Xabi Alonso has requested the addition of Welbeck following his performance last season, where he scored 13 goals in the Premier League with Brighton & Hove Albion. Those numbers caught the attention of national team coach Thomas Tuchel for the 2026 World Cup held this summer.

The board considers that the arrival of the forward will bring experience to a squad that maintains one of the youngest averages in the English league. The forward's contract with the Seagulls expires in June 2026, facilitating negotiations between both entities to agree on a transfer below the market value.

Negotiations between Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion have reached their final stage during this last week of July 2026.

The London club is confident in making the forward's arrival official in the coming days and in accelerating discussions with teams interested in Nico Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu before the formal start of the competition.
