Very Likely to be sold:

There players are either already on their way out of Chelsea or there are strong signs that they will be sold or loaned out ahead of a permanent move.

Robert Sanchez

As good as gone unless Chelsea decide to loan out Filip Jorgensen and keep Sanchez as the backup to Djordje Petrovic. The fans might riot if he comes back but since when has that stopped Chelsea from making decisions?

Kepa Arrizabalaga

His Chelsea career is over and it’s just a matter of how much they squeeze Bournemouth during the transfer. The Cherries love him and want him back and Chelsea likely don’t see him in their plans for the future.

Benoit Badiashile

Badiashile is still getting minutes at Chelsea but it may just be a product of few other options at centerback. He is a solid player but for the 90k a week he is being paid there are better options out there. His departure also opens the door for Josh Acheampong or Renato Viega to play more centrally.

Axel Disasi

Disasi is on loan at Aston Villa and we are thankful for that. He has become more known by Chelsea fans for his mistakes at the back than anything else and surely there are better options out there.
