Chelsea's announcement of their defeats last season has put them in jeopardy ahead of the summer transfer window, with the possibility of a sell-off growing.
Graham Potter is at risk of losing 7 players in the summer transfer window
Chelsea's announcement of a loss of more than £120m in the last financial year is sounding alarm bells at Stamford Bridge.
This financial dispute could lead to major roster changes during the summer transfer window, with seven players at risk of being sold. The Blues are approaching the amount of losses allowed under the Premier League's Financial Fair Play laws.
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in penalties including point deductions, fines, and transfer bans. As a result, the Blues may have to work hard this summer to cover the huge loss of selling up to seven of their players. According to the Times, Chelsea must raise "significant amounts" to avoid breaking Premier League rules. A loss of £121m last season following a loss of £153.4m in the 2020/2021 campaign.
Despite these losses, the Blues continue to spend big in the transfer market, with eight players signed in January. They will also be stripped of some major bonuses after a difficult season in the Premier League, leaving them in a poor 10th place.
The Premier League allows clubs to lose up to £105m over a three-year period. The Blues are currently saved from trouble thanks to the fact that they made a profit of £32.5m during the 2019/2020 season.

But this number will disappear from the calculations after 12 months, replaced by the current campaign's profit or loss. After spending so much on the transfer market, that will most likely lead to the transfer of a significant number of members of Graham Potter's team. They will need to do this by June 30 to ensure fees are deposited into the current season's account. At the top of the list of players at risk of being sacked is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the striker seems to have no future at Stamford Bridge.
Potter has been avoiding the striker and it looks like this will be his only season with the Blues. Mason Mount is also leaving, with his contract entering its final year.
Negotiations over a new deal have stalled with the England international attracting interest from various teams. After featuring at Crystal Palace last season, Conor Gallagher could also leave after struggling to return to the Blues.
After making a big impact at Selhurst Park, the English player will have no shortage of followers this summer. Like Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech's time at the Blues seems to be over, having started just six Premier League games this season.
The winger was tipped to leave last summer and will almost certainly leave at the end of the season. Christian Pulisic may also be ready to seek a new challenge after already struggling to meet expectations. Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic should both go to the exit

Pulisic has had his season interrupted by injury but even before that, the American struggled to do so.
