British daily newspaper Daily Mail reported on the 20th (Korea time) 'Chelsea is likely to start a large-scale cleanup of the team this summer' The media added that Chelsea could make the decision to comply with the revenue and sustainability rules (PSR), which limit losses of more than £150 million over three years as stipulated by the Premier League.
Chelsea are in fourth place with 49 points as of now, having played 29 games this season. The gap with Liverpool (70 points) is already wide. The realistic goal is to qualify for the European Champions League rather than winning the league.
In the meantime, Chelsea has been building up the size of the team based on constant investment every season. However, the enlarged squad seems to eventually cause financial problems.
The Daily Mail predicted that `Kepa Alyssa Balaga, Axel DiSasi, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling are likely to be on the transfer list after the end of this season' Even predicting the possibility of Chelsea putting Jadon Sancho on the market.
Of course, it is not just a large-scale reorganization. Chelsea are reportedly constantly interested in signing Victor Osimhen. Osimhen, who was loaned to Galatasaray from Napoli, has been constantly courted by Premier League teams. If Chelsea successfully completes the squad cleanup, there are observations that it will start recruiting Osimhen.
