Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to recent reports, Mauricio Pochettino is eager to trim down Chelsea’s bloated squad during the upcoming summer transfer window. The Sun suggests that the 51-year-old manager intends to offload around eight players to achieve a more streamlined squad of approximately 25 individuals.
With Pochettino expected to be announced as the new Chelsea manager in the coming days, speculation has already begun regarding the players he aims to build his team around in West London. Surprisingly, this includes homegrown talents Mason Mount and Levi Colwill, who was previously rumored to be departing the club at the end of the season.
Conversely, there are indications about the players who may no longer be required. Given the need to balance the books after consecutive strong investment windows, a potential fire sale at Stamford Bridge could be on the horizon, placing several squad players at risk.
Recent reports suggest that discussions are progressing positively regarding a potential transfer of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to Serie A side AC Milan. The midfielder has experienced another season of sporadic appearances, often deployed in an unfamiliar right-back role.
To address the key positions Pochettino intends to strengthen, it will be crucial for Chelsea to offload high-earning players to ensure compliance with financial fair play regulations and create room for new signings.
