Chelsea is planning to make a “great purification” of the squad in the summer transfer window 2025, with more than 10 players at risk of leaving. Notably, the two most prominent names on this list are Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku.
Joao Felix, 25, joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid, initially borrowed and was then bought for £ 46.3 million last summer. However, he did not leave a clear impression and only 12 appearances in the Premier League last season, before being pushed to AC Milan on loan.
Currently, Felix has even been deprived of the number of shirts, showing that he is no longer in the plan of coach Enzo Maresca. According to the British newspaper, the old team Benfica is interested in bringing him back, but the price of 35 million pounds that Chelsea offer is a big barrier.
Unlike Felix, Nkunku somewhat impressed in Chelsea's FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign with 1 goal after 3 main kicks. However, the French star was still on the list to be liquidated, and was once asked to be transferred to Man United in a deal exchange for Alejandro Garnacho but failed.
Along with Felix and Nkunku, a series of other players such as Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Armando Broja and Renato Veiga.
According to the latest information, goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic has officially joined Bournemouth for a fee of 25 million pounds. Other players will also quickly follow Petrovic.
Young talent Tyrique George is being considered loan. Particularly, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was not given a transfer list but Chelsea was still ready to listen to reasonable offers.
This powerful purifying move shows that Chelsea is determined to restructure forces after many mass shopping seasons but ineffective. Stamford Bridge this summer may witness the biggest farewell in the Todd Boehly.
