Chelsea set to make £200m from transfers, as Club made final decision over £150m Chelsea target
Chelsea is expected to earn more than £170 million from transfer sales this summer, according to reports.
Chelsea have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, on free transfers.
The Blues, on the other hand, have a number of players on the market.
Chelsea’s second-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, defenders Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta, and midfielders Jorginho and Ross Barkley have all been linked with moves abroad, according to The Mirror.
Chelsea might also profit handsomely from the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, who appear to be on the verge of leaving the club.
If Christian Pulisic also seeks a transfer, the total value of the sale might exceed £200 million.
Todd Boehly, the club’s new owner, is expected to usher in a new era at Stamford Bridge, with rumors claiming that he has already set aside £200 million for major signings.
Tuchel may have more than enough finances to create his squad before the start of the season, thanks to the player sales scheduled for this summer.
Club made final decision over Chelsea target
According reports, West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is being linked with a big money move away from the London club.
Chelsea are believed to be one of the clubs most keen on their former academy starlet.
However, signing Rice will be no mean feat, as West Ham United are standing by their British record asking price for the 23-year-old.
According to The Sun, West Ham hope to scare off Chelsea by valuing Rice at £150m.
Rice has rejected West Ham’s latest contract offer that would make him their highest paid player, but he has remained tight-lipped on where his future lies.
