Tuchel orders Marina to sell these 5 Chelsea players after UCL final, as £500,000-a-week Brazilian opens up he wants Chelsea move
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly given the club a list of five players that should be sold this summer.
Tuchel wants these players sold so he can have more money for transfers this summer, with the German tactician keen on strengthening the squad.
According to Daily Express, Tuchel has told Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia to sell Kepa Arrizalabaga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham this summer.
Arrizabalaga has been relegated to no.2 goalkeeper at Chelsea since the arrival of Edouard Mendy while Hudson-Odoi is yet to reach the heights that persuaded Chelsea to give him a £150,000 a week contract.
Barkley and Loftus-Cheek spent the season on loan at Aston Villa and Fulham respectively and it is believed Tuchel doesn’t see the duo as part of his Chelsea plans.
Abraham has struggled for game time since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as Chelsea boss.
Chelsea have a long list of loanees that could depart this summer – including Tiemoue Bakayoko, Fikayo Tomori and Michy Batshuayi.

Oscar was a very good player during his time at the club, but it would be a massive shock to ever see him make that move back to the club as they have moved on from him. But he can dream.
A European side will pick him up and it will be interesting to see just who.
