Chelsea to Offload 15 Players: Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling Linked with Exits

Chelsea are facing the challenge of managing an oversized squad under the stewardship of Todd Boehly. The American owner has ensured that The Blues have a wealth of talent at their disposal, but the new head coach, Enzo Maresca, now finds himself with more players than he can effectively manage. As a result, Chelsea are preparing to offload up to 15 players before the end of the summer transfer window.  (via Reuters)

Enzo Maresca’s Squad Overhaul

Nicolo Schira has reported that two notable names on the transfer list are Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling. Both players have been linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge for some time, with Manchester United emerging as a potential destination. In a possible swap deal, Jadon Sancho could make his way to Chelsea if these transfers materialise. But Sancho isn’t the only potential arrival. Earlier this week, we spoke to Gianluca Di Marzio about Chelsea’s rumoured interest in Napoli’s Victor Osimhen

Players on Chelsea’s Transfer List

Here’s a look at the players Chelsea are looking to move on:

• Lucas Bergstrom
• Axel Disasi
• Trevoh Chalobah
• Ben Chilwell
• Cesare Casadei
• Carney Chukwuemeka
• Angelo Gabriel
• Raheem Sterling
• Armando Broja
• David Datro Fofana
• Marc Guiu
• Omari Kellyman
• Alex Matos
• Zak Sturge
• Deivid Washington

Future Uncertain for Several Chelsea Players

None of the players listed are considered central to Maresca’s plans for the upcoming season. Staying at Chelsea could mean limited opportunities for first-team football, with some potentially facing the prospect of no game time at all. As the transfer window draws to a close, these players will be looking to secure moves that offer them regular playtime and a fresh start.
