Chelsea, who want to reduce their 41-man squad to 25, are preparing to part ways with 16 players in the final part of the transfer window.

Chelsea, who will not compete in European cups in the new season, plans to reduce their crowded squad. Xabi Alonso does not want players who will not get regular playing time to stay in the team.

Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Marc Guiu, David Datro Fofana, and Caleb Wiley are currently not participating in training with the first team. Sale or loan options are being considered for these names.

HUGE TRANSFER FEES FOR STARS

Chelsea has set a transfer fee of 87 million euros for Malo Gusto and 140 million euros for Enzo Fernandez. For Nicolas Jackson, 75 million euros is being requested.

While it is stated that Trevoh Chalobah's transfer to Como for 31 million pounds including bonuses is about to be completed, Filip Jorgensen is planned to be loaned to Strasbourg.

2.2 BILLION EUROS SPENT IN 4 YEARS

After BlueCo took control of the club, Chelsea spent 2 billion 218 million euros on transfers in four years. During the same period, they generated approximately 1 billion 167 million euros in revenue from player sales.
