Chelsea could be forced to pay up to £60m in contract payments this summer as Todd Boehly looks to overhaul the Blues squad.
According to The Sun, it could take up to six players to leave Stamford Bridge amid initial concerns that Chelsea will find it difficult to sell some names due to their high salaries, with Romelu Lukaku, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kepa Arrizabalaga with higher income.
