How do you assess Chelsea's transfer business this summer?

We are very satisfied with the results of this transfer window. We successfully achieved many of the objectives we set out in May and early June. This summer transfer window has completed the first phase of team building, and based on the current squad, our team structure is very balanced. It's a good start. We've completed the first stage of our work, and looking at both the present and the future, this has been very successful.

Are you disappointed that you couldn't sign Lamine Camara?

We believe we've prepared well. We're very satisfied with the squad, the depth available, and healthy competition for every position. As I mentioned before, the development levels of our players are balanced—we have experienced veterans and promising young talent. We also have a group of players in their prime years. Now we need to build their resilience in training and ensure they perform well in Saturday and Sunday matches. We've only played two matches so far and started well. Now that the squad is complete, this certainty is something positive.

Did you support the club's decision to sell Enzo Fernández?

This isn't a decision made by me alone—all decisions are discussed and made collectively by our team. Whether big or small, every decision involves collaboration, because ultimately we know that all choices are made for the team, for all our players, and for the club's daily training and development. We want to create a positive team spirit and build an excellent team, with all decisions aimed at this goal.

Did you expect Enzo Fernández to leave throughout the summer? Do you regret not having enough time to work with him?

There are many changeable circumstances in football, and we must be prepared for all possibilities. I've discussed with Enzo multiple times and always valued everything he gave to the club. His contributions were excellent, and we're grateful. But now it's time to look forward. The current squad is full of quality, with excellent and unique players in every position. We are ready to move forward.

Can Conor Coady participate in Sunday's match?

We will assess his physical condition tomorrow. Tomorrow is the final deadline to finalize the squad list for Sunday's match.

How pleased are you that Morgan Rogers has joined Chelsea from Aston Villa?

This is an important transfer decision in the club's squad management. Signing Morgan Rogers is undoubtedly an important agreement. He is very valuable both now and in the future. He will become a key player for the team over the next six or seven years. He has integrated very quickly with the team, and there's been excellent cooperation between him, all his teammates, and his strike partners. We're very optimistic about the future because we've already seen this understanding develop in such a short time. It's clear that he's very happy at the club, and that matters.
