Fabrizio Romano has confirmed some intriguing transfer news out of Chelsea, with BlueCo agreeing a unique summer deal.

Enzo Maresca is poised for a hectic end to this summer window, and the BBC's Nizaar Kinsella reports that they could orchestrate as many as 13 incomings and outgoings in the space of just 12 days.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, Basir Humphreys, Noni Madueke, Marcus Bettinelli, Mathis Amougou, Djordje Petrovic, João Félix, Ishe Samuels-Smith, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Armando Broja, Lesley Ugochukwu and, most recently, Renato Veiga, have all left Stamford Bridge on permanent deals, with many more expected to follow.

Chelsea, despite spending nearly £280 million in the transfer market, have registered a net spend of just £25 million as a result of their fire sale, with Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Alfie Gilchrist and even Tyrique George all potentially on the chopping block too.

Exits will be crucial in determining just how many incomings Chelsea can manage before deadline day on September 1, amid the club's ongoing talks to sign both Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho and RB Leipzig sensation Xavi Simons.

UEFA are pressuring Chelsea to register a positive transfer balance by next month, or risk an inability to register new signings in their A-list Champions League squad, coming after they reached a settlement over broken FFP rules with the governing body last month.

However, for their most recent incoming, Chelsea won't have to worry about that.

BlueCo have used Chelsea's sister club strategically this window, selling Ishe Samuels-Smith to the Ligue 1 side for a small profit, and they're now utilising Liam Rosenior's team as a vehicle to sign Brighton starlet Julio Enciso.

According to Romano, writing via X, Chelsea are set to complete the signing of Enciso from Brighton next year.

First, the Paraguayan forward will spend the 2025/26 campaign on loan at Strasbourg before moving permanently to London next summer, with BlueCo striking a bargain £17 million deal.

Strasbourg can offer him regular first-team football at a competitive level in the meantime, and Enciso has already shown glimpses of his serious potential in the Premier League.

The versatile 27-cap international even bagged a goal and an assist against Chelsea during their 2-2 draw with Brighton in April, adding to his tally of seven goal contributions in 29 total appearances last campaign under Fabian Hürzeler.

Enciso has been tipped to become a "Paraguayan football legend in the making" (Jacek Kulig), and securing the 21-year-old's signature for significantly below £20m can be seen as a major coup for Chelsea, even if they face a year-long wait to welcome him into Maresca's squad.
