Some players will leave the club as part of this overhaul. Noni Madueke and Joao Felix are reportedly on the list, with the latter having joined Chelsea for £45M before being loaned out to AC Milan. However, Felix did not perform well during his time there. Chelsea believes that Madueke's development has stalled, and it's time for him to move on.
Other players like Christopher Nkunku, who joined from RB Leipzig for £52.7M, have also failed to impress. There are also several other players on the transfer list, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez, and Djordje Petrovic. Additionally, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, and Wesley Fofana are also up for sale if the right price is offered.
Fofana signed with Chelsea for £70M from Leicester in 2022, Sanchez joined for £30M from Brighton two seasons ago, and Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester for £30M last summer. It may be a costly summer for Chelsea as they try to make a profit on these unwanted players.
The futures of Trevoh Chalobah and Raheem Sterling are also uncertain. Sterling has two years left on his £325,000-a-week contract after a failed move to Arsenal left him out of their starting lineup for most of the season. Regardless of what happens to these 14 players, Chelsea will have a busy summer ahead as they build a new team for the Champions League and a potential title push.
