Chelsea have been in the market for a midfielder and someone to act as back-up for Moises Caicedo given the club are lacking cover in that area in the upcoming summer window. The expectation is Dario Essugo will be rotated with Caicedo next season.
Essugo has spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Las Palmas, making 17 La Liga appearances.
Chelsea have already decided to bring back Andrey Santos from his loan at Strasbourg to be part of things in 2025-26, but that is to compete with Romeo Lavia.
