The club has made significant investments, totaling around £600 million, in the past two transfer windows.
Five outgoing transfers, with a combined value of £130 million, are on the verge of completion before June 30. These transfers will be factored into the current financial accounts, aligning with Chelsea’s objective to balance their expenditures.

Hakim Ziyech, who arrived at Chelsea in 2020 for a fee slightly over £33 million, has agreed to a move to Al-Nassr, a team associated with Cristiano Ronaldo, for a fee of approximately £8 million.
Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined Chelsea from Napoli for £33 million last year, is poised to make a transfer to Al-Hilal for a fee exceeding £15 million.
Furthermore, Edouard Mendy, who was signed by Chelsea for £22 million from Rennes in 2020, is set to join Al-Ahli. Mendy’s market value is estimated to be at least £10 million.
