Chelsea is going through a period of obvious overstaffing. The squad led by Enzo Maresca has an excessive number of players, which has forced the club to open the exit door for several players who are not part of the Italian coach's plans. Among them, four names stand out that were once even linked to FC Barcelona: Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling, Benoît Badiashile, and Carney Chukwuemeka.

Christopher Nkunku:

Nkunku, who arrived in 2023 after shining with RB Leipzig, never managed to establish himself due to a serious injury that hindered his impact in London. The 27-year-old French forward still holds a high market value, but Stamford Bridge no longer considers him essential. His name even surfaced as a possible bargaining chip in negotiations with Barça.

Raheem Sterling:

Sterling's case is different. Signed in 2022 from Manchester City, the English winger never found the expected consistency. At 30 years old, with a contract until 2027, offers from the Bundesliga and other Premier League clubs are being considered.

Benoît Badiashile:

Badiashile, the French center-back signed for 38 million from Monaco, has also not had the desired continuity. Injuries and bad luck have caused the Frenchman to lose a lot of prominence to the point of not being part of the club's future plans.

Carney Chukwuemeka:

Chukwuemeka, a promising midfielder who was on Barça's radar, returned from a loan spell at Dortmund with little prominence and has been one of the first players marked by Enzo Maresca for departure from his squad.

All of them are a clear sign of the sporting and economic chaos Chelsea is going through. Weighty names, expensive signings… now looking for an exit without having made a mark.
