Three players set to leave as Chelsea plan clearout

Chelsea players Enzo Fernandez, Robert Sanchez and Liam Delap are linked to a move this summer. In this case, Chelsea plan a squad rebuild for this summer transfer window.

1. Enzo Fernandez

As per reports, Enzo Fernandez is linked to a move to Real Madrid this summer. The Argentine midfielder has been a top player for Chelsea in the Premier League. However, in recent times he has clearly indicated that he likes Real Madrid. Therefore, news now starts to flow in about his move away from Stamford Bridge. As a result, the Blues feel discomfort as while being under contract their vice captain openly acknowledges his love for some other club.

On the football pitch, he has been an excellent player. Enzo Fernandez signed for Chelsea in 2023, and his contract will be valid till 2032. Thus, if Chelsea decide to sell him they will surely miss his presence on the field. However, they would also expect to gain a transfer fee £100m for him. Therefore, this amount can be used to strengthen other positions on the field. Meanwhile, Real Madrid analyse the situation and prepare to act for Enzo Fernandez as soon as they sort their Managerial issues.

2. Robert Sanchez

Robert Sanchez joined Chelsea in the summer transfer window of 2023. In this case, Chelsea paid a transfer fee of £20 million plus £5 million in add-ons to Brighton. This move came as a result of Blues squad rebuild plan. Since joining Chelsea, Robert Sanchez has had a lot of ups and downs. In one football match he turns out to be brilliant.

Meanwhile, in the next game he makes errors costing the game for the team. Therefore, this inconsistency from the goalkeeper has affected the stability of the team. Therefore, this summer Chelsea are set to find replacements for him. In this case, links emerge with Kobel from Dortmund and James Trafford from Man City.

3. Liam Delap

Liam Delap signed for Chelsea last summer. Thus, his career at Stamford Bridge is still relatively young. However, this Premier League season he has failed to convert his chances. He is a strong presence on the field. Meanwhile, he got more yellow cards than goals this season, this alone tells his story.

As a result, Chelsea have consistently faced issues in scoring goals and shaping the outcome of games. Also, this has costed them a lot in UEFA Champions League stages. Therefore, links emerge around Liam Delap and his possible sale this summer. In this case, the Blues can create space in the squad. Also, they can use his sale money to fund other transfers.
