On July 8, 2026 young winger Jesse Derry signed a new long‑term contract with Chelsea, committing his future to the club until 2032. Immediately after the announcement, reports say Chelsea agreed a season‑long loan for Derry to Portuguese side Sporting CP so he can gain regular first‑team experience; those reports add Sporting will cover his wages and there is no buy option. Derry, who made senior appearances last season, is expected to return to Stamford Bridge in June 2027. The club and supporters welcomed the move as a positive step in his development.
