This summer at Chelsea, there will be a lot of change, with high-profile departures and additions anticipated in equal proportion.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!At the conclusion of their individual contracts, the defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have both moved on to greener pastures, while Romelu Lukaku has completed a remarkable return to Inter on a season-long loan. Saul Niguez, a loanee from Atletico Madrid, has also returned after a fairly fruitless stint in west London.
That inevitably means that there will be a significant change in the squad size when some spots open up and others are taken.
