Chelsea has been coming players this summer for some time to fund hiring This will strengthen the specific areas of the squad for next season.
The Blues briefly flirted with a surprise challenge of the Premier League title before the campaign when five successive victories covered November and December, and only two defeats in their first 17 games, they were second at the table.
But a disturbing concern since Christmas that has seen Enzo Maresca lost six times in the league and take only 14 points out of a possible 36 shows that there is more work to do.
Chelsea He has had a prolific striker since Diego Costa left Stamford Bridge the best part of a decade: no player from Chelsea has scored 30 goals in one season from Didier Drogba in 2009/10. So a new number more reliable than Nicolas Jackson is a goal.
In addition to this clear priority, Fabrizio Romano He also hopes that the club will go to a defender and the coating. But it will require that existing players of books continue to make space and raise money.
The transfer specialist has Previously suggested that they will be made available “seven or eight” playersBut now he has addressed a good number of specific names on this list.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Axel Disasi, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Armando Broja are five currently in loans who are considered very likely to show the door.
Kepa has impressed with Bournemouth and the Cherries in particular could try To recruit Espanyol, although their parent club has had a nightmare with the goalkeepers this season. Disasi will be sold, whether it is a permanent treatment to practice Aston Villa or someone else, without future Chelsea for Chilwell, Sterling or Broja, the latter struggle to get play time in Everton.
A sixth player named was Joao Felix. AC Milan is not believed to have tried to wrap a permanent agreement, although things could change depending on the San Siro staff in summer. The Stamford Bridge door is not considered closed to Felix, but also a decent offer could see Chelsea Cash and cut the ties with a player who Atlético de Madrid agreed to pay 126 million euros per.
