Chelsea Set To Offload 11 Players In Another Transfer Window Of High Turnover to avoid FFP rules and to fund the signing £100m striker

Expect a busy summer transfer window at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea looks to strengthen a few important areas of their team in preparation for the 2024–2025 campaign.
The Blues’ Premier League season has been yet another depressing and lackluster one. If they win the FA Cup, the season could come to a close, but later this month they play the tournament favorites, Manchester City, in the semi-final.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea is now in ninth position in the league rankings after a 30-game losing streak. In his 30 games, the Argentine has seen the Blues win 12, tie eight, and lose ten. The club will evaluate the Argentine’s status this summer.
Pochettino stated that the team will take a close look at the players and the circumstances at the end of the season in order to continue the process of improving what they have available to them following the most recent depressing outcome at the weekend—a 2-2 draw away at the bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United. “What has transpired is a natural procedure,” the Argentinean said.
“We must acknowledge this kind of issue and continue to work for a solution. Every season, as the finish draws near, we must assess our team and identify any gaps in order to attempt to attract players who can complement our current group and help us advance in the next one.
Chelsea will need to try to unload players that they do not see in their long-term plans if they want to get what they are “missing.” Due to the harsh enforcement of the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) by the Premier League this season, several clubs are eager to sell some of their youth talent in order to generate what is described as “pure profit.”
Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, and Lewis Hall are a few players that may go in the same direction as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori, Billy Gilmour, and Tammy Abraham—all of whom Chelsea just sold. Whether you like it or not, the harshness of contemporary football means that individuals who successfully navigate the very difficult transition from academy to senior level are now more highly valued.
Gallagher’s status with the Blues is still up in the air. The 24-year-old wants to continue at Stamford Bridge, but as the summer draws near, there is a big cloud over his head since his contract expires in less than a year and formal negotiations to extend it have not yet started.
Tottenham is reportedly still closely monitoring the England international, who has worn the captain’s armband more than any other player in the Chelsea lineup this season. In the meanwhile, Chalobah is thought to be disposable come summertime, even if he has been brilliant since just returning from injury.
Last summer, there was a chance for Chalobah to sign with Bayern Munich, but it fell through in the last seconds. Chalobah graduated from Cobham. After the season, the Blues will probably consider selling him once again, with Stamford Bridge authorities keeping an eye on other European center backs.
Summertime plans include for Hall to sign a long-term contract with Newcastle United. The 19-year-old is now on loan at St. James’ Park, and the Magpies are need to pay £35 million to make the agreement permanent.
Broja may also permanently depart Chelsea in the summer. The goal of the club was to sell the striker in January, but a loan agreement to Fulham was reached since there was very little money invested in the Premier League during that transfer window.
The 22-year-old striker hasn’t exactly had the finest experience in west London so far. With only five games under his belt, Broja has not yet found the scoreboard for the Cottagers. The Albanian international is of long-term interest to West Ham United.
If sold, each of the aforementioned players will bring in just money. Marc Cucurella is also considered expendable, therefore Chelsea would lose tens of millions of pounds if he were to go before the summer transfer window.
Cucurella, who joined Chelsea for a reported £60 million in the summer of 2022, hasn’t had the greatest of luck there and, should he decide to go, would undoubtedly fetch a far lower fee. Even if the Spaniard is still content at Stamford Bridge, if the proper deal can be made, the team could consider letting him leave.
Thiago Silva is anticipated to depart the team in the summer, despite Pochettino’s apparent downplaying of it over the weekend. Regarding Silva’s future, Pochettino said, “It’s a matter that, at the moment, we are not discussing about the future of the player in the group.”
We need to discuss and decide on the team’s future at the conclusion of the season since we are in competition. The club must make that choice. He is one of the guys we should talk about, of course. Thus far, nothing exists at this time.
Silva’s contract ends at the end of June, and he will be free to quit the team. In 2020, Chelsea acquired Silva from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
Some players will be on the transfer list come summertime because it is obvious they have no future at Chelsea. Naturally, one of them is Malang Sarr, who hasn’t played in a competitive game for the team in over two years.
The current loan recipients Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Hakim Ziyech will also be the focus of a lot of conjecture this summer. With little over a year left on his deal, Lucas Bergstrom may be traded permanently since Stamford Bridge has a highly competitive goalkeeping pool.
