After triumphs in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, London’s Chelsea has decided to begin the new season with structural changes.
According to The Athletic, a group of players who did not travel with the main squad to the USA are currently training individually at the club base, reported theathletic.com. However, this is not a temporary situation — all of them are expected to leave the club.
Coach Enzo Maresca has launched a serious squad cleanup. According to his plans, well-known players such as Joao Felix, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Lesley Ugochukwu, Renato Veiga, Armando Broja, and Alfie Gilchrist will not play for Chelsea in the new season.
In addition, two of the club’s key stars — Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku — are also excluded from the main plans. Their future destinations are still unknown, but there is interest from other clubs.
Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has become one of the main targets of Borussia Dortmund. It is reported that Chelsea is ready to sell the player outright.
Notably, Chelsea's management has also added Nicolas Jackson to the transfer list, even though he was previously considered "non-transferable." This decision has raised many questions about his future.
Another change is the sale of young defender Ishe Samuel-Smith to Strasbourg for £8 million. In addition, several other young talents of the club will be loaned to the same team. Among them are midfielder Kendry Paez, defender Aaron Anselmino, and goalkeeper Mike Penders.
Chelsea’s firm and wide-reaching transfer policy indicates that a new structure and playing style are being formed at the club. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what kind of team Chelsea will become in the new season.
In short, summer at Chelsea has turned not into a transfer window, but into a period of radical change. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
