Iraola is also Crystal Palace’s top target, while Glasner will leave Palace at season’s end. Silva has a new Fulham deal on the table but is weighing options abroad, including Saudi Arabia.
Ex-Chelsea players Filipe Luis and Cesc Fabregas are admired too, as the club looks to stabilise after another managerial change.
Chelsea’s urgency reflects a need for clarity before the 2026–27 campaign.
