Carney Chukwuemeka
Since arriving from Aston Villa in 2022, Chukwuemeka’s time at Chelsea has been hampered by injuries, limiting him to just 32 appearances. The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, and while his potential remains evident, his future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain. A summer sale could be on the horizon.
João Felix
After returning to Chelsea for a second stint, Felix struggled to establish himself in Maresca’s plans and was subsequently loaned to AC Milan in January 2025. While the Portuguese forward has shown flashes of brilliance, consistency has eluded him. Although Maresca has spoken positively about Felix in press conferences, he has rarely trusted him in crucial fixtures, casting doubt over his long-term future at the club.
Christopher Nkunku

Touted as the solution to Chelsea’s attacking woes upon his arrival, Nkunku has endured a frustrating spell at the club. Struggling to find his best role in the team and often overshadowed by Nicolas Jackson, the French forward has appeared disinterested in recent matches. While his talent is undeniable, his Chelsea tenure has not gone as planned, and potential suitors may look to capitalize on his uncertain future.
