Chelsea is ready to make a big clear-out in its squad this summer, selling several players who have not met expectations. The club aims to improve its team and raise funds to sign new players to strengthen the squad.
Chelsea could raise 500 million through sales.
One of the most prominent names that could leave is Wesley Fofana. The French defender, who arrived for around 85 million euros from Leicester City, has not managed to show the expected level. Despite having great potential, his adaptation to Chelsea has not been easy, which could lead the club to decide to sell him.
Another player who could depart is Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian, who arrived with much anticipation, has not found his best form at Chelsea. Despite his talent, he has not yet adapted to the team's style of play, and his future remains uncertain.
The future of Jadon Sancho is also in doubt. Chelsea has a purchase option of 25 million euros for him, following his loan from Manchester United, but it is unclear whether the club will decide to buy him or not, depending on his performance for the rest of the season.
Christopher Nkunku, who also arrived with high expectations, has not managed to perform at the expected level. Despite his great quality, he has not shown his best version, and his stay in the club is at risk.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has played 11 matches in the Premier League but has not entirely convinced. Also, Robert Sánchez, the Spanish goalkeeper, has raised many doubts in goal.
Ben Chilwell is currently on loan at Crystal Palace; his adaptation to Chelsea has not been as expected, partly due to the numerous injuries he has had since joining Chelsea from Leicester City.
Noni Madueke, another young talent, has struggled to fit into the team. He has missed many goal opportunities and has not been effective when most needed, casting doubt on his future at the club.
Also on the list of possible departures are Marc Guiu, who arrived from FC Barcelona, and David Datro Fofana, who has not managed to find his place in the team. Additionally, Reece James, with his constant injuries, is far from the level he showed before and could bid farewell to Chelsea.
Chelsea is not only considering the sales of the mentioned players but also preparing to make the most of those who are loaned to other clubs. These include Axel Disasi, Andrey Santos, João Félix, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mike Penders, Deivid Washington, Caleb Wiley, Alfie Gilchrist, and Bashir Humphreys. Many of these players are on loan, but their ownership still belongs to Chelsea, which means they could be sold this summer to generate income. With the departures of these players and potential transfers, the club hopes to raise around 500 million euros, enabling them to make key signings and renew their squad for the next season.
This cleansing process is not only necessary to balance the club's finances but also to pave the way for new players who can lead Chelsea back to success. The sporting direction is working intensively to decide which players will continue to be part of the long-term project and which ones will be sacrificed to improve the team's immediate future.
