Following the additions of names like Liam Delap, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Joao Pedro, Chelsea are now turning their attentions to trimming the squad. There are a number of players with no future as part of the project who are expected to leave, which could shave off a hefty amount from the weekly wage budget. Ben Jacobs<\/a> has reported that three specific names are “expected to be sold”<\/p>\n

Expensive Trio Expected to Leave Chelsea Permanently<\/h2>\n

Raheem Sterling<\/h3>\n

The biggest earner at the club but also one of the least in-form players in the entire squad. Earning a reported<\/a> \u00a3325,000 every week on wages, Sterling spent last term at Arsenal and failed to make a lasting impression. He was a regular the prior campaign under Mauricio Pochettino but with Enzo Maresca’s system change and more competition joining, he’s lost his place in the squad.<\/p>\n

The club will be eager to shift the multiple-time Premier League winner to get his hefty wages off the books and try to claw back some of the fee they paid Manchester City a few short years ago.<\/p>\n

Ben Chilwell<\/h3>\n

A victim of the ownership and managerial changes, the Champions League winner went from an integral wing-back under Thomas Tuchel to an injury-prone player without a place in the modern setup. Chilwell doesn’t necessarily fit Maresca’s preferred vision for a full-back and after a rather mediocre spell with Crystal Palace on loan, he may not be capable of playing for a top team regardless.<\/p>\n

He was reportedly<\/a> handed a contract for \u00a3225,000 a week wages, making him a high earner that’s rather difficult to offload. With the World Cup coming up next year that may push the Englishman to take a wage cut to find regular playing time to fight his way into Tuchel’s squad.<\/p>\n

Axel Disasi<\/h3>\n

Bought from Monaco following an injury to Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi has had an inconsistent time with the Blues. He’s been pushed out to right-back as injury cover and pushed to play a more dynamic role as a centre-back than he’s capable of. he’s clearly got defensive quality but doesn’t fit the current ideology of the team.<\/p>\n

Likely the easiest one to move he had a solid loan spell with Aston Villa and reportedly<\/a> earns just \u00a378,000 for wages. It’s no surprise that the team expects to move him on as he could have the biggest market of the trio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
