Chelsea Could Sell Eight Stars As Squad Ovehaul Continues

Chelsea Could Sell Eight Stars As Squad Ovehaul Continues

Coming off the back of a rather absurd transfer window that saw Chelsea spend in excess of £300 million ($371m) and break the British transfer record previously held by Jack Grealish to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, the changes don't appear to be stopping. The Guardian reports that the club are preparing for a clearout of underperforming first-team players this coming summer, in what could be a ruthless sale of familiar faces. The report states that owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital…

Chelsea Transfer News: Blues Bid £105.6m For Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea have bid 120m euros (£105.6m) for Benfica’s Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez in a move that would make him the British transfer record signing. So far there is no indication whether the Blues’ offer, thought to include instalments, will be accepted.

Joao Felix Red Card ‘Another Blow’ For Chelsea Boss Potter

Graham Potter has described Joao Felix’s red card in Chelsea’s loss to Fulham as another blow to his side.

Joao Felix: Chelsea Close To Signing Atletico Madrid Forward On Loan

Chelsea are close to signing Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix on loan for the rest of the season.
