As many as 15 players could be headed for the Stamford Bridge exit as Chelsea look to offset some of the money spent in recent seasons
As Chelsea faces yet another summer transfer window, reports suggest that a significant overhaul is on the horizon.
With the transfer strategy that has seen up to £1 billion spent already, reportedly abandoned by club owner Todd Boehly, the Blues are gearing up for a series of moves that could see some prominent names exiting rather than arriving at Stamford Bridge.
Marc Cucurella
Having arrived at Stamford Bridge from Brighton, Marc Cucurella, the 23-year-old Spanish left-back, struggled to secure a consistent spot in the squad, making him a potential target for European clubs seeking defensive reinforcements.
Thiago Silva
The experienced Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva has been a defensive stalwart for Chelsea in recent seasons. However, with age catching up, his contract situation might lead to his departure, whether through retirement or a free transfer to another club.
Trevoh Chalobah
Once hailed as a key figure for Chelsea's future, Trevoh Chalobah, the 22-year-old versatile defender, has faced challenges with injuries and poor performances. It appears likely that he won't be wearing a Chelsea shirt next season.
Malang Sarr
Chelsea's forgotten centre-back, Malang Sarr, joined the club in 2020 but has struggled to secure significant playing time. With just 65 games played in all competitions since his arrival, a move away from Stamford Bridge could be on the cards.
Conor Gallagher
Amid Chelsea's struggles this season, Conor Gallagher, the 23-year-old midfielder, has been a standout performer. Despite his impact, Gallagher's contract situation remains uncertain, attracting interest from rivals like Tottenham.
Carney Chukwuemeka
Carney Chukwuemeka, a 20-year-old midfielder signed from Aston Villa, arrived with high expectations. However, limited opportunities and Chelsea's focus on big-money signings may lead to Chukwuemeka seeking a move for regular playing time.
Noni Madueke
Noni Madueke, a 20-year-old winger, has showcased his capabilities in limited minutes for Chelsea this season. A loan move to another club might be considered to provide him with more consistent playing time and opportunities to develop.
Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling, the experienced English winger, has struggled to find his best form at Stamford Bridge. Competition from emerging talents and inconsistent performances could put him on the chopping block.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Kepa Arrizabalaga's time at Chelsea has been marked by memorable errors. The Spanish goalkeeper, now on loan at Real Madrid, might not feature in Chelsea's future plans, especially with new goalkeeping acquisitions.
Ian Maatsen
Ian Maatsen, a 20-year-old left-back currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has impressed during his time away from Stamford Bridge. Whether he returns to Chelsea or seeks a permanent move will depend on how he fits into the club's plans.
Lewis Hall
Lewis Hall, a 19-year-old left-back on loan at Newcastle United, has seen limited minutes. While on loan, his performances may influence a potential permanent move, with Eddie Howe's assessment playing a crucial role.
Hakim Ziyech
Hakim Ziyech arrived at Chelsea with promise from Ajax but struggled to consistently deliver. A loan move to Galatasaray has provided a fresh start, and a permanent exit from Stamford Bridge may materialize in the summer.
Romelu Lukaku
The Romelu Lukaku saga has been a turbulent chapter for Chelsea. Considering the challenges, an early exit, either through a loan or a permanent move, might be in the best interest of both the player and the club.
David Datro Fofana
David Datro Fofana faced a tough start at Chelsea, arriving during a challenging season. However, a loan move to Burnley has seen the 23-year-old find success, with three goals and an assist in just seven matches. His future at Chelsea remains uncertain.
Armando Broja
Armando Broja, a 21-year-old striker, embarked on a loan move to Fulham on deadline day in February. While the loan provides him with the minutes needed for full fitness, interest from other Premier League clubs could lead to a permanent move if Chelsea pursues a new striker in the summer.
As Chelsea braces for a period of transition, these potential departures indicate a strategic shift in the squad composition, with the club looking to balance incoming talent and adhere to financial regulations. The summer transfer window is poised to bring significant changes to Stamford Bridge, and fans await the final decisions on these player exits.
