Report:Chelsea to offload Seven players to recoup transfer money
Reports have emerged of how the London giants would need to see of some Players in a bid to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season under new owner.
According to the Mirror, Chelsea could end up selling as many as seven players in order to recoup money for summer signings.
The London club’s takeover by Todd Boehly has left them in a difficult position with respect to summer transfers with names like Jorginho and Lukaku reportedly among the players who could be sold to recoup around £170 million.
Others on the radar includes Timo Werner, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcus Alonso, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ross Barkley.
Last season was a disappointing one for Chelsea fans. The club started strongly and had the Champions League title to defend. However, consistent injuries and their key attackers losing form, most notably Romelu Lukaku, meant that Tuchel’s team could not keep up their title challenge after the first few months.
In the wake of the transfer Rudiger has officially joined Real Madrid, while Christensen is close to completing a move to Barcelona.
Regardless of the situation, Tuchel will know that he needs to make new signings if the team can be expected to bounce back next season. Several players will need to be replaced while both Liverpool and City are also expected to make several signings each, in the summer window
