“Sell them now, I don’t need them at Chelsea” – Enzo Maresca confirms 9players to leave Chelsea (See full list)
The Blues are preparing for another major squad overhaul this summer, with as many as nine players set to leave Stamford Bridge.
New manager Enzo Maresca is keen to trim the squad further, targeting players who no longer fit into his long-term plans. According to BBC Sport, the Italian tactician has identified nine players who are now available for transfer.
The players reportedly on the exit list include Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi, Djordje Petrovic, Armando Broja, João Félix, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu.
Sterling and Félix were both omitted from Chelsea’s squad for the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Sterling, who spent last season on loan at Arsenal, struggled to make an impression at the Emirates and failed to secure a permanent move.
Félix, meanwhile, was on loan at AC Milan from January until the end of the campaign, but the Serie A club have reportedly decided against making the deal permanent.
