According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are set to sell up to eight players this summer after reporting a loss of £121m for last season.
The Blues will embark on a cleanup at the end of the season to raise funds to comply with Premier League sustainability and profitability rules.
The Blues will look to reduce the size of the 33-man squad to the more typical 25.
According to reports, players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic could be available for transfers this summer.
There is a growing feeling that Mateo Kovacic is another player who could leave with Chelsea but talks have yet to open talks over extending his current contract, with just 16 months remaining. Mason Mount's contract extension has also seen no progress since talks broke down shortly after the World Cup, with his current deal running until 2024. Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in this 24-year-old midfielder.
Likewise, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has not held any talks with Chelsea after talks broke down in September. He is now unlikely to discuss a new deal before the end of the season, which could pave the way for his departure.

Man Utd and Liverpool both want the services of Ruben Neves, whose contract with Wolves expires next year.
Football Insider last week revealed that the Molineux side will ask for a fee of about 50-60 million pounds for the star midfielder, who is being sought by MU, Barca and the Anfield team.
However, the latest update shows that the Catalan team is no longer interested in recruiting the Portuguese player.
On the other hand, the big shock to Liverpool is that Neves has been in talks to move to Man Utd this summer.
According to a report reported by Sport yesterday (news image provided below), the Blaugrana have decided to end their pursuit of the Premier League midfielder.
Xavi Hernandez thinks the 26-year-old doesn't quite fit the requirements at Camp Nou and should now stay in England.
The Catalan newspaper has mentioned that Ruben Neves is in talks to move to Man Utd next season.
The Seleccao star has made over 200 appearances for Wolves and was part of their championship winning squad in 2018.
It's time for him to develop his career and move to Manchester United, the team. The ball will probably give him a place in next season's Champions League, which would be a big step.
