List of Chelsea players at risk of being sold or no contract renewal
The Pride of London detail the extensive list of Chelsea players who are at risk of being sold or not having their respective contracts renewed.
A recent claim states that up to 14 Blues personnel could leave the club at the end of the season. By the time preseason games begin, this very new CFC roster could have drastically changed again after all that money was spent and all those incoming players arrived. Evening Standard suggest Kalidou Koulibaly, Mateo Kovacic and academy product Mason Mount might perhaps be out of the Stamford Bridge door.
To avoid further Scrutiny from the Financial Fair Play office, the piece says, a host of stars will probably depart. Those Blues include: Conor Gallagher, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Trevoh Chalobah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta, Levi Colwill, Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Chelsea close to signing Southampton star Romeo Lavia
Onto a transfer rumour now. Sources of Football Insider have apparently revealed that the west Londoners are closing in on the signing of Romeo Lavia from the Saints. The Belgian is going to be highly sought-after in the summer window.
CFC’s London rivals Arsenal are another supposedly interested club; we all know the Gunners’ pull is increasing at present. Meanwhile the attraction of Chels’ and its ability to sign anyone must be diminishing at the moment. I’m sure the 19-year-old has left a lasting impression on scouts, potential suitors, along with opponents.
According to the aforementioned outlet, Lavia is the at the very top of the CFC signing shortlist; they have monitored the Southampton midfielder for nearly a year. The Blues have undertaken talks with the player’s entourage or advisors.

Manchester City have a buy back clause for the young professional, although that doesn’t activate until 2024, igniting early moves by others. Lavia shall cost around £45million, irrespective of whether or not the south coast side survive the dreaded Premier League drop. Chelsea supporters shall have to keep an eye on this one.
