Chelsea owner Todd Boehly intends to sell four players to finance the acquisition of a new striker in the summer transfer window and to maintain compliance with Financial Fair Play regulations.
Chelsea is gearing up for significant changes this summer, with renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggesting that Romelu Lukaku, Ian Maatsen, Hakim Ziyech, and Armando Broja are among those likely to depart.
Under Todd Boehly’s ownership, the club has seen an influx of players, resulting in the need to offload several others to adhere to Financial Fair Play regulations. Reports indicate that domestic talents like Conor Gallagher might also need to be transferred for profit generation.
Despite ongoing speculation, no agreement has been reached regarding Gallagher’s contract extension. Romano suggests that four more players are set to leave Chelsea, potentially recouping around £132 million from their sales. Ziyech and Broja, currently on loan, are expected to depart, while Lukaku’s destination remains uncertain, with rumors suggesting a move to the Saudi Pro League. Maatsen is attracting interest from clubs like Borussia Dortmund.
Romano hints at further departures, with players like Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah’s futures still uncertain.
