Samu Omorodion had been anticipated to join Chelsea for approximately €50 million over the summer. Nevertheless, the transfer to Chelsea fell apart at the last moment. Omorodion later disclosed that the summer was very challenging for him and mentioned that the transfer didn't occur because, in his words, God didn't want it. Consequently, Chelsea was compelled to secure Joao Felix on a permanent contract to facilitate Conor Gallagher's transfer to Atletico Madrid.
