And there are five other Chelsea players said to be considering their futures as well, even if they’re yet to take that step.
That’s according to Simon Phillips, who has named Enzo Fernandez, Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Guiu, and Filip Jorgensen as the players looking to leave the Blues.
The other names are not yet certain, but it could become clearer later, with Chelsea’s season just going from bad to worse at the moment.
Do Chelsea need a major clear-out this summer?
Chelsea have had a miserable run of results recently, being thrashed by Paris Saint-Germain to exit the Champions League, while they’ve won just one and lost three of their last six Premier League games, putting their top four hopes in serious doubt.
Liam Rosenior hasn’t been particularly convincing since taking over as Chelsea manager, and it increasingly seems like it was a bit of a rash call to sack Enzo Maresca.
Even if Maresca wasn’t perfect, he’d done well to deliver silverware and Champions League qualification last season, and Rosenior is relatively inexperienced for such a big job.
At the same time, however, some CFC fans may well feel that a few of the club’s recent managers have been let down by poor recruitment.
A lot of these players simply haven’t delivered considering how much was spent on them, so it might be wise to allow these aforementioned names to leave and for the team to undergo a major reshuffle.
That could then also give Rosenior more of a chance to put together a squad more in his own image, as well as a full pre-season to work with them, as taking over in the middle of a season like he has is never straightforward.
