Joao Felix is the latest player to leave Chelsea, joining Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League for an initial £26.2M fee and £17.5M in potential add-ons. Chelsea needs to sell more players to abide by financial rules and make room for new signings under manager Enzo Maresca.
According to reports, Chelsea also wants to offload Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Renato Veiga. This will help with finances and make room for new players. However, some players like Veiga and Ugochukwu may be harder to sell due to their age and potential.
Chelsea has to act quickly to sell these players and avoid further fines from UEFA. The club must be realistic about the prices it can get for some of these players, as reports suggest that Sterling may be sold for £20M and Broja for £25M. This may be lower than the club hopes, but it is a necessary step to make room for new signings.
The players who are likely to be sold will be those who are not in high demand, such as Chilwell and Sterling. On the other hand, players like Veiga and Ugochukwu may attract more interest due to their age and potential.
