Chelsea are gearing up for a significant squad transformation this summer, with up to 10 players potentially on their way out of Stamford Bridge, as reported by The Athletic.
Among those who might face departure are the attacking trio of Noni Madueke, Nicolas Jackson, and Christopher Nkunku. The report also lists Djordje Petrovic, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling, Carney Chukwuemeka, and recent signing Renato Veiga as players who could be permitted to exit.
This extensive clear-out is part of Chelsea’s broader plan to generate funds for new signings and restructure the squad ahead of what is expected to be a hectic season.
The Blues have already been active in the transfer market, securing striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for €35.5 million. His signing raises questions about Jackson’s future, with the Senegalese forward potentially being encouraged to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Chelsea are said to be pursuing Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who is viewed as a possible direct replacement for Madueke.
Several of the players mentioned, including Sterling, Petrovic, Disasi, Chilwell, Veiga, Broja, and Chukwuemeka, were on loan last season and could now be transferred permanently.
While Chelsea aim to raise revenue and streamline their squad depth, the potential sales of prominent players like Jackson, Madueke, and Nkunku will likely depend on the quality and value of offers received from interested clubs.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
