Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is set to sanction the exit of up to 15 players this summer as the club prepares for the 2025/26 season, the Club World Cup, and a return to the Champions League, according to The Guardian.
Despite guiding the Blues to Europa Conference League glory and securing a top-four Premier League finish, Maresca is pushing for a major squad overhaul to balance the books and streamline the team.
Incoming business is already underway with Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap close to joining, but Chelsea are under pressure to offload surplus players to remain within financial regulations.
Players on the Transfer List:
1. Renato Veiga
2. Carney Chukwuemeka
3. Ben Chilwell
4. Axel Disasi
5. Raheem Sterling
6. Lesley Ugochukwu
7. Djordje Petrovic
8. Joao Felix (loan returnee)
9. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
10. Christopher Nkunku
11. Trevoh Chalobah (uncertain status)
12. Wesley Fofana (subject to offers)
13. Robert Sanchez (if new GK arrives)
14. Nicolas Jackson (if another striker is signed)
15. Noni Madueke
Several of these players were loaned out last season, while others, like Nkunku and Dewsbury-Hall, have struggled to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge.
Injury-prone Fofana and inconsistent performers like Sterling and Madueke are also up for sale.
