With the summer transfer window still months away, Chelsea have already been active in the market, securing the signings of Geovany Quenda and Dário Essugo from Sporting CP for a combined fee of up to €74.4 million. However, further reinforcements are expected, particularly in the striker department, and reports suggest the club could offload up to 10 players to generate funds for new arrivals.
Here’s a look at the key figures who could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
The Spanish goalkeeper became the most expensive shot-stopper in history when Chelsea paid €80 million to sign him from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. However, he has struggled to establish himself as the club’s undisputed No. 1, enduring a tumultuous tenure marked by inconsistency. After spending back-to-back seasons on loan, a permanent exit in the summer of 2025 appears inevitable.
🚨 Kepa Arrizabalaga wants to join Bournemouth on a permanent deal from Chelsea when his loan comes to an end this summer.
