Chelsea are planning to sell up to 10 players this summer. This includes Noni Madueke, Nicolas Jackson, and Christopher Nkunku. According to a report by The Athletic, these players could be part of a major squad shake-up.
Other players who may also leave are Djordje Petrovic, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Renato Veiga. The club seems ready to let them go in order to reshape the team.
Chelsea wants to reach certain goals this summer, and selling these players could help raise the money they need. The sales would support both new signings and the overall squad balance.
The club has already started making moves. One example is Liam Delap, who recently joined from Ipswich Town. His arrival may push Nicolas Jackson out, even though Jackson was signed for €35.5 million not long ago.
Chelsea are now targeting Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The young winger could replace Madueke if the English forward is sold in the coming weeks.
Some of the other players being considered for transfer, like Sterling, Petrovic, Disasi, Chilwell, Veiga, Broja, and Chukwuemeka, played on loan at different clubs last season. Chelsea might now decide to sell them permanently.
Selling these players would give Chelsea both financial support and a chance to rebalance the team. The club wants to be ready for a tough and demanding season ahead.
However, Chelsea will only let players like Jackson, Madueke, and Nkunku leave if they receive good enough offers from interested clubs. These sales depend on the kind of bids the club gets.
