According to the British press, Chelsea is speeding up the liquidation of 9 players after the disappointing draw against Crystal Palace on the day of the Premier League 2025/26.
The Telegraph reported that Chelsea was seeking to sell or lend Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell and possibly Tyrique George in the next two weeks.
Last season, Sterling was lent at Arsenal but did not make a mark, so it was returned. At this time, Chelsea has many winger and strikers so Sterling is not at the Stamford Bridge.
Sterling wants to go but the 30 -year -old does not consider going to the US or Saudi Arabia as a top priority. He wants to play for a club to stay in the Premier League and if London, the better. But if not, Sterling will be forced to accept foreign countries.
Fulham is one of the clubs that are said to have contacted Sterling. The most difficult problem in negotiating with this player is the high level of remuneration receiving at Chelsea. Therefore, in order to go to Fulham, Sterling must accept to reduce income.
In addition, Jackson received an official announcement that he was no longer part of Maresca coach's plan in the first team. Napoli is looking for a new striker due to Romelu Lukaku's unexpected injury. Besides, Aston Villa is also interested in Jackson.
Bayern Munich is said to have negotiated on signing a contract with Christopher Nkunku, although so far they have just proposed to borrow instead of breaking. The Chelsea side is not interested in lending this case, they just want to sell immediately.
Veiga is also attracting attention from Villarreal, while Chukwuemeka wants to return to Borussia Dortmund, the team he had played on the form of loan last season.
The Telegraph said that Chelsea wanted to earn nearly £ 300 million from selling players when the summer transfer period 2025 ended, which would bring their net expenditure down to zero. Chelsea members are now actively preparing for the match against West Ham in the second round of the Premier League on August 23.
