The Blues have spent well over €1 billion on new signings since the arrival of Boehly and Behdad Egbahli in 2022, and they are once again looking to oversee a major overhaul during the upcoming summer transfer window.

A total of 38 players have departed Stamford Bridge over the past three years and a further 24 stars could follow suit ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

That is according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, who claim that Chelsea want to ensure a fire sale takes place during the 2025 summer window.

The west London giants are hoping to generate €500m through sales this summer, with the club looking to reinvest that money into several high-profile signings, including the addition of a prolific centre forward.

Chelsea summer fire sale

Fichajes state that Chelsea will look to sell the likes of Wesley Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Robert Sanchez, Noni Madueke, Reece James, Marc Guiu and David Datro Fofana this summer.

Furthermore, current loanees Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mike Penders, Deivid Washington, Caleb Wiley, Alfie Gilchrist and Bashir Humphreys may depart on permanent deals once they return to Stamford Bridge in July.

In addition, Chelsea will reportedly look to offload Jadon Sancho. The Englishman is set to join the Blues for €30m once his loan spell from Manchester United ends, although Enzo Maresca’s side are considering whether to pay a €6m penalty fine in order to cancel their obligation to buy clause.

The 25-year-old netted a fantastic goal during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town on Sunday, but he has only registered eight goal contributions in 26 league appearances since his arrival from Man Utd and the club are hoping to sign a new winger this summer as a result.
