With a plethoric workforce, Chelsea will have to part with several profiles over the coming months in order to relieve its payroll. According to information from the British press, the fate of 11 players is already sealed.
After exploding all the counters by exceeding 240 million euros in spending during the winter transfer window, Chelsea have greatly strengthened their workforce. These colossal investments also seem to finally have some positive effects on the results of Londoners. If the start of 2023 was nightmarish, qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Borussia Dortmund came to reward the progress of Graham Potter.
However, Chelsea are far from having solved all their problems. Only tenth in the Premier League 12 days from the end of the championship, it is unlikely that the Blues will grab a European qualification. This anomaly will obviously have significant economic consequences. This future shortfall could further dig into the club’s cash flow, which already has to manage a colossal payroll.
Chelsea want to part ways with 11 players including Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz
In order to relieve his financial situation, the Premier League resident should therefore part with several players as soon as the transfer market opens its doors. And according to the very serious The Athletic, this major cleaning promises to be most spectacular. The British media thus reveals that 11 players are considered undesirable or at least not essential.
Among the big names on this list, we can mention Raheem Sterling, a key rookie last summer who did not really give satisfaction (4 goals scored in the Premier League) despite the 56 million euros spent for his arrival. But the British international is not the only one who is no longer in the odor of sanctity on the London side, Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech or even Mason Mount should not be retained too, just like Ben Chilwell and Matteo Kovacic. Christian Pulisic, Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Connor Gallagher are the latest to complete this decidedly impressive list.
