Chelsea determined to "change blood": 6 stars prepare to leave Stamford Bridge this summer
Chelsea are planning a major squad overhaul in the summer of 2025, with a list of six players likely to leave Stamford Bridge.
The move follows a narrow 1-0 win over Everton last weekend, when Nicolas Jackson scored the only goal to end a goalless streak, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez shone with a series of excellent saves. Trevoh Chalobah has also been highly rated after a solid performance, despite almost being sent out on loan.
The list of names that could be sold includes: Trevoh Chalobah, Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Noni Madueke and Andrey Santos. In particular, the appearance of Noni Madueke is surprising because this player is having a fairly stable season and scored in the match against Legia Warsaw.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix have both failed to live up to initial expectations, causing Chelsea's board to lose interest in keeping them. As for Andrey Santos, although he was expected to be promoted to the first team next season, the possibility of him leaving is still quite high if he is not guaranteed a starting position.
Coach Enzo Maresca wants to create a leaner, more competitive squad, while reducing the burden on the wage bill to serve the upcoming big transfer plans. After a season that did not meet expectations, Chelsea is determined to renew the squad, aiming to return to the title race next season.
