Chelsea's summer exodus is set to bring a substantial financial boost as they prepare to offload eight players, with the total expected to exceed £200 million. This significant turnover includes high-profile names and emerging talents, each contributing to the club's massive cash influx.
1. Conor Gallagher - £36m
Conor Gallagher's move to Atletico Madrid is nearly finalized, with Chelsea securing £36 million for the talented midfielder. Gallagher, who has shown considerable promise, will be missed, but his departure allows Chelsea to reallocate funds and space within the squad.
2. Raheem Sterling - £30m
Despite his firm commitment to Chelsea, Raheem Sterling is reportedly valued at £30 million. The winger's potential exit reflects Chelsea's need to streamline their squad, and his sale would help balance the books as the club seeks new additions.
3. Ben Chilwell - £25m
Ben Chilwell, once a key figure in Chelsea's defence, is now set for a loan move with a potential sale value of around £25 million. His departure could ease Chelsea's crowded squad situation and offer financial flexibility for other signings.
4. Kepa Arrizabalaga - £15m
Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was once the world’s most expensive keeper, is now available for a mere £15 million. Chelsea's decision to let him go reflects the changing priorities in their goalkeeping department and aims to free up resources.
5. Trevoh Chalobah - £20m
Trevoh Chalobah, a versatile defender, is also on the chopping block with a £20 million price tag. His departure would be part of Chelsea’s strategy to trim the squad and focus on players who fit the manager’s plans.
6. Djorde Petrovic - £20m
Djorde Petrovic, the backup goalkeeper, is valued at £20 million. His potential sale is indicative of Chelsea's need to offload surplus players while capitalizing on their assets to fund new acquisitions. He is the second goalkeeper in the squad who is being offloaded.
7. Armando Broja - £30m
Armando Broja, who spent time on loan at Fulham, is available for £30 million. His future could lie away from Stamford Bridge, with interested parties potentially finding value in the young striker’s potential.
8. Romelu Lukaku - £40m
Romelu Lukaku, despite his substantial £40 million price tag, is likely to depart. His time at Chelsea has been tumultuous, and the club’s willingness to let him go underscores their efforts to revamp the squad and meet financial goals.
