The Chelsea is working on planning its squad for next season with the intention of putting together a squad packed with variations so that Thomas Tuchel can compete for the Premier League and repeat the UEFA Champions League title. The goal is to stay on top and not go down for a long time.
The Blue team has two specific players in its sights to take a quality leap: Achraf Hakimi and Erling Braut Haaland, two goals of Thomas Tuchel. But, in order to close both signings, which seem like a very high price, the current European champion needs to sell several players to make money and be able to lower his salary mass.
As reported The Sun, Chelsea intend to sell 13 players in order to pay for the transfers of Erling Braut Haaland and Achraf Hakimi in the upcoming transfer markets.
The 13 sales Chelsea want to make in the summer
-Davide Zappacosta: He has no place in the team and the arrival of Hakimi would take away opportunities within the right wing rotation.
–Emerson Palmieri: He is the third left back of the rotation, so his departure is imminent. Several Italian teams want it.
-Marcos Alonso: It is presumed that the arrival of Hakimi, who can also play on the left, would erase him from the rotation.
-Kurt Zouma: The French central does not enter into Tuchel’s plans. It is one of the centrals that will try to sell to make cash.
-Ethan Ampadu: Another central that does not enter the plans. He ended his assignment with Sheffield United and is expected to be sold on his return.
-Fikayo Tomori: His departure to AC Milan is imminent. It will be the first sale.
Baba Rahman: Another sale that will close as quickly as possible. It does not enter into the plans of Chelsea.
-Tiemoue Bakayoko: He comes from having a great season at Napoli on loan, but he doesn’t have the level to compete with the starters in his position. Another player with a poster in Italy.
-Danny Drinking Water: One of the worst purchases in the club’s history. It seems impossible that they can get some money for him.
-Jorginho: One of the surprises on the list. But his departure would be confirmed if Declan Rice arrives, according to The Sun. He is a footballer for whom they can get a good amount of money.
-Ross Barkley: Another player returning from a loan. His exit is immanent and they hope to get a good amount of money for him.
-Michy Batshuayi. He returns after his assignment at the Crystal Palace. It does not enter into the plans.
-Tammy Abraham: It is not to Tuchel’s taste. You will not have minutes and less if Haaland arrives.
-Olivier Giroud: It has just renewed, but they claim that it was a move to be able to sell it and get some money for it, and not that it go free.
