more key signings after Morgan Rogers<\/h2>\n<p>According to The Athletic, Chelsea are planning at least 2 more key signings and plan to make more than \u00a3300 million in sales, having generated \u00a3140 million so far.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have generated the bulk of their summer funds from Marc Cucurella joining Real Madrid for \u00a352m and Andrey Santos moving to Manchester United for \u00a348m\u2013\u00a350m. <\/p>\n<p>And many forget that the Blues further bolstered their figures by offloading winger Tyrique George to Everton for \u00a324m alongside smaller academy departures, while receiving a compensation payout from Manchester City for Enzo Maresca. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-do-chelsea-want-to-sign\">Who do Chelsea want to sign?<\/h2>\n<p>With Xabi Alonso looking to reshape his defence, Chelsea are actively pursuing several targets to reinforce their backline. <\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix remains the club\u2019s primary target, with the Blues advancing negotiations for the 26-year-old, though Palace are holding out for a fee around \u00a360 million. <\/p>\n<p>To provide an experienced and cost-effective alternative, Chelsea have also placed free agent John Stones on their shortlist following the conclusion of his contract with Manchester City. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, to replace Marc Cucurella on the left flank, Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria, though negotiations over his transfer fee remain delicate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more-wrapper lazy see-more-open
