The recruitment of too many players is causing Chelsea's squad to fall into a “surplus crisis”. BLD Stamford Bridge team considers liquidation at least 15 first team players.
Chelsea is one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer window 2025. Up to now, the Blues has spent more than 234 million pounds for 7 contracts. They will not stop there. The London team is still waiting to complete the recruitment of Jorrel Hato, Xavi Simons and maybe both Alejandro Garnacho.
But not everything is related to buying and selling at Stamford Bridge. The FIFA Club World Cup champion is now aware of the overload in his squad. That is why Enzo Maresca decided to sell … 15 players.
The Italian strategist wants to add personnel to the first team, so they are trying to sell some players who, after moving to the capital of England but cannot integrate and gradually lose their prominence over time, while their market value has decreased significantly.
Chelsea's transfer list offers many options for many clubs in this transfer, including all positions on the field. Among the first players removed by Maresca were the French defender duo, Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile. The duo has decreased from the price of 45 million pounds to only half.
The Portuguese striker Renato Veiga is another name to liquidate. He could not compete the main kick in the squad of the Conference League champion. The Blues are asking for £ 40 million for a player who has attracted attention from Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. In addition, this list also has young players who have little chance to play such as Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Alfie Glichrist, Kernan Dewsbury-Hall and Marc Guiu.
In a star team, the Chelsea attack is quite cramped and there is no room for some strikers to come to Stamford Bridge with enthusiasm but fading over time. The most notable case is Christopher Nkunku, who clearly no longer suitable for the Blues and is being sought by many teams. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan seem to be the nearest teams with the signature of former RB Leipzig.
The door also opened for Armando Broja, who was on his way to Burnley. David Fofana, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson also have to change the competition environment if they want to have more time to play, because the appearance of rookies like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens in the summer market 2025.
