“Offload them please” – Chelsea ready to sell these 3 unwanted Chelsea stars
According to The Athletic, Chelsea is “highly motivated” to sell Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Malang Sarr this summer. A number of other players are also for sale.
Renato Veiga, who is expected to complete his transfer from Swiss side FC Basel this week, will be the sixth addition to the Blues’ roster, which has already seen five acquisitions during the frenetic transfer season.
But Stamford Bridge isn’t only about new players arriving; the Blues are still trying to let go of a number of players, even after selling Ian Maatsen, Michael Golding, and Omari Hutchinson.
Chelsea desperate to sell Lukaku, Kepa and Sarr
Whilst the sales of Maatsen and Hutchinson last month erased any lingering doubts the club wouldn’t comply with profit and sustainability rules, the Blues are now turning their attention to making sure they are compliant for next year.
The Athletic state that the club are “highly motivated” to sell Lukaku, Arrizabalaga and Sarr whilst the likes of Armando Broja, Cesare Casadei, David Datro Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah are also candidates to depart Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are keen to offload Arrizabalaga and Lukaku this summer.
In the case of Lukaku, Kepa and Sarr they are also high earners and more than getting a good fee, Chelsea will be happy to get their wages off the books.
Sarr has been exiled from all first team activities and a solution over his future will surely be reached this summer, even if it means Chelsea pay off the last year of his contract so he can leave on a free.
Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, and he too only has a year left on his contract, with the Blues unlikely to get a decent fee for him, and the Spaniard is believed to have an offer from Saudi club Al-Ittihad on the table.
