Chelsea FC has named four players as 'untouchables' under new manager Xabi Alonso, including Josh Acheampong, Moisés Caicedo, Cole Palmer, and João Pedro. The club has rejected offers for the players and will continue to build around them. Caicedo recently agreed to a contract extension that ties him to Stamford Bridge until 2033. Palmer's deal has the same expiration date, and despite being linked with a move elsewhere for the majority of 2025–26, the midfielder confirmed his desire to stay in west London for the foreseeable future. Pedro joined the Blues last summer and is also contracted until 2033. A stellar debut season placed the Brazilian on the radar of other European giants, namely Barcelona, but Chelsea have made their position crystal clear: Pedro is not for sale. Despite not being named in the report, captain Reece James and Brazilian wonderkid Estêvão are also viewed as players Chelsea have no intention of parting ways with. But there are some world-class talents that Chelsea could allow to leave if a worthy offer arrives. Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella became disgruntled with Chelsea's project and publicly criticized some of the decisions made by the club's hierarchy back in March, with the former even earning an internal suspension for his not-so-subtle flirting with Real Madrid. Now, the pair are said to be willing to leave the club after failing to secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea would reportedly entertain their exits, but only if they can profit from their departures, setting a $161.2 million (£120 million) price tag for Fernández, for example. Fernández and Cucurella are two of the longest tenured Chelsea players and leaders in an incredibly young locker room. Although they aren't getting pushed out, their public desire to leave the club has opened the door for their departures. Despite only joining last summer, Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho could be other players with whom Chelsea part ways. Plenty of exits are expected to materialize this summer as the Blues enter another rebuild and try to find a way not to breach a UEFA settlement that could merit a costly ban. It will be a busy summer for Chelsea following a disastrous 2025–26, but an effort is being made to make the most of the situation.
