Chelsea is getting ready for the summer transfer campaign. However, the Financial Fair Play rules mean that the club will have to sell before buying new players to avoid sanctions.
Here are the players who are likely to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Thiago Silva. The defender's contract expires this summer and it's been reported that it won't be extended.
Trevoh Chalobah. The centre-back has been heavily linked with leaving Chelsea. Selling him would be a boost for the club's finance books as he's a Cobham graduate.
Conor Gallagher. Same as Chalobah but the fee will be much larger. The midfielder's deal is up in 2025 so the summer sale gets likelier with each day he doesn't sign a new contract.
Marc Cucurella. The Spaniard has reportedly attracted interest from Spain as he's failed to establish himself as a first-team player at Chelsea.
Romelu Lukaku. The Blues reportedly have a pact to sell the Belgian in the summer to anyone who offers £37m.
Ian Maatsen. The Dutchman signed a new deal with Chelsea before going on the Dortmund loan. The contract includes a £35m release clause which is expected to be triggered by Dortmund or another team.
Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniard is on loan at Madrid. The Whites are unlikely to buy him but the Blues will probably try to shift him in the summer.
Malang Sarr. Unbelievable but the Frenchman remains on the Chelsea roster. His future will probably be solved in the summer.
Lewis Hall. This one is pretty straightforward: Newcastle are obliged to make his loan permanent and pay a £28m fee to Chelsea (plus £7m in add-ons).
Hakim Ziyech. The 30-year-old is still a Chelsea player as well, out on loan with Galatasaray. The Turkish side have to buy him in the summer for a £2.5m fee.
