According to reports, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is planning to let up to 12 players depart the club this summer.
Despite their recent success, Chelsea are planning to sell 12 players during the summer transfer window, according to the Express.
The team of Thomas Tuchel is coming off a great Club World Cup campaign. They won their third trophy under the German and are looking forward to a busy summer.
Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, and Andreas Christensen have all been linked with a move away from the club.
Barcelona is apparently interested in Azpilicueta, while Christensen has been linked with moves to both Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Rudiger, on the other hand, has piqued the curiosity of a number of big European clubs. The Germany international has been linked with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Players on the periphery of first-team play are expected to be released.
The futures of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ross Barkley, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek might all be found outside of Stamford Bridge.
Since Edouard Mendy's arrival at the club in 2020, Kepa's position has been stolen by the Senegalese. Despite playing in the previous event, the Spaniard was left out of the club's Club World Cup final. The latter two have made little appearances for Chelsea, with Barkley spending last season on loan at Aston Villa.
Could Chelsea be on the verge of releasing first-team regulars?
Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech, according to rumours, might all be sold.
They have yet to properly hit the ground running since their massive additions to the club, with the trio costing a combined £137.7.
Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, and Marcos Alonso's futures are also being considered by the club.
Despite the fact that the three has played consistently for Chelsea under Tuchel, there is a feeling that the time has come to let them go.
Kante has been plagued by injuries in recent months, and he has only started 11 Premier League games this season. Tuchel's move has been aided by Jorginho, who finished third in the 2021 Ballon d'Or race, although he is being linked with a return to Italy.
With Chelsea's interest in West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, the pair's time at the London club could be coming to an end.
Alonso, who is 29 years old, has been standing in for Ben Chilwell, who is injured.
Despite this, there have been speculations of a transfer for Marc Cucurella of Brighton & Hove Albion, casting doubt on the Italian's future at the club.
