Chelsea will start a massive summer fire sale in the coming months, while manager Enzo Maresca is taking his side.
The West London side qualified for the Champions League while on the last day they achieved a top-four place and ended their season by lifting the Conference League trophy while tore apart LaLiga side.
Maresca will be supported on the transfer market after ending his first campaign, but must first sell many players who are considered excess to the requirements.
According to the Guardian, Noni Madueke and Joao Felix are two of the first names on the transfer list, with the last one getting £ 45 million before they were shipped to AC Milan, where he did not impress.
The report states that Chelsea has the feeling that Madueke's “development got stuck” and that it is time to continue with the club.
Christopher Nunku, who arrived from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £ 52.7 million, did not impress and reports linked him with a move to Bayern Munich.
Many other stars, such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez, Djordje Petrovic, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi and Wesley Fofana, are all simply sold when the right price comes.
Fofana signed for £ 70 million from Leicester in 2022, Sanchez spent two seasons in Chelsea after he had become £ 30 million at Brighton and Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester last summer for £ 30 million in what could be an expensive summer for Chelsea that will make a profit at their unveiled stars.
The last one on the list is Trevoh Chalobah, whose future again doubts, and Raheem Sterling, who is left for another two years at the age of £ 325,000 a week after a failed step to Arsenal, who had largely been omitted him from the side of manager Mikel Arteta.
Whatever happens to the 14 players, Chelsea stands up for an extremely busy summer while building a side for the Champions League and a potential title push.
