Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for 15 players this summer as part of their recruitment overhaul in an attempt to catch up to Manchester City and Liverpool this season.
The Blues have already seen Romelu Lukaku depart this summer following a horror move back to Stamford bridge last summer, with the Belgian returning to Inter Milan. However, there could be plenty more leaving west London this summer, according to a report from the Mirror.
German striker Timo Werner cast doubt on his Blues future by revealing that “it is hard to say” what his future has in store for him amid a lack of playing time.
Meanwhile Fabrizio Romano has reported that Hakim Ziyech is seemingly ‘destined’ to leave this summer too, amid interest from AC Milan.
More to come
However, according to the Mirror there could be plenty more shown the door this summer.
These include defensive quartet Levi Colwill, Baba Rahman, Emerson Palmeiri and Ethan Ampadu, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso have both been heavily linked with switches to Barcelona.
Further forward, midfielders Tino Anjorin, Billy Gilmour, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Ross Barkley are all set to depart, along with forwards Kenedy, Armando Broja and Michy Batshuayi, with Broja set to join West Ham in the coming days.
Beyond that, there could be further departures, though these would depend on who arrived at Stamford Bridge this summer.
However, with a month and a half left in the transfer window, it seems the Blues will be incredibly busy.
