Due to the fines imposed on Roman Abramovich, CHELSEA are basically without a transfer partner.
Chelsea are hoping to find a new owner before the end of the season, with Roman Abramovich ready to sell after the UK government imposed sanctions on him. The bid deadline has past, and the Raine Group is likely to make a shortlist before making a definitive decision in the near future.
The team is currently on a transfer embargo, which prevents them from re-signing current players. Once their new owner is approved to come in and take over, the ban will most likely be lifted.However, depending on who comes in and takes over, there may be certain constraints in place, with each bidder having their own ambitions for the club. Chelsea's greatest option in the transfer window to give Thomas Tuchel what he wants may thus be this summer's free agency market. Four players that could be of interest to the Blues are profiled by Express Sport.
Brozovic, Marcelo

According to reports, Marcelo Brozovic is considering extending his contract at Inter Milan, but if Chelsea expresses interest, he may reconsider. The 29-year-old has played a key role in Inter's recent success and has plenty of elite-level experience.
Rudiger, Antonio
It's a bit of a cheat to include Rudiger on this list, but the Germany international might become a free agent before Chelsea can even begin contract negotiations with him. Rudiger wants to be paid what he's worth, and he's perhaps Tuchel's most important center defender at Chelsea.

Even if Rudiger stays, the club will need to sign a central defender, as both Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen are anticipated to go. Dan-Axel Zagadou has been unable to agree to a new deal with Borussia Dortmund, and a move to the Premier League could be on the cards.

Zagadou, who is 22 years old, is regarded as one of the best young defenders in the world. Chelsea will be able to sign him at a bargain price. With RB Leipzig unwilling to offer the 29-year-old a new deal, Marcel Halstenberg could be the best choice on the market this summer. Despite missing the majority of the season due to a long-term injury, Halstenberg has thrived in a system that sees the left-back pushed farther forward, and he has a great return with goals and assists.
