Enzo Maresca is actively steering Chelsea towards the semifinals of the Club World Cup.
Additionally, he is focused on enhancing his roster with new recruits. Having secured a spot in the Champions League, Maresca is committed to strengthening the team’s chances.
This involves adding fresh talent, as he works to fortify the attack.
After already investing approximately £140m, Chelsea risks being unable to register some new players for their Champions League List A unless they can resolve their financial discrepancies.
Potential signings may include Liam Delap, João Pedro, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr, and Jamie Gittens.
Recently, Chelsea was imposed with a £27m penalty from UEFA due to overspending, and the club could face further issues if its financial status doesn’t improve.
Which players might Chelsea move on this summer?
To maintain financial balance, Chelsea will need to let go of several players. By generating sufficient profit, the club can register their new signings for the Champions League.
So far, Chelsea has sold Bashir Humphreys, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Marcus Bettinelli for around £20m, but they still need to address the remaining shortfall.
Noni Madueke is on the verge of a transfer to Arsenal, which would greatly benefit Chelsea’s finances.
Moreover, Christopher Nkunku, João Félix, and Raheem Sterling are anticipated to depart this summer, with Nkunku having an estimated value of about £35.
Djordje Petrovic is also rumored to be seeking a move, currently in discussions with Sunderland, while Bournemouth is showing interest as well.
Chelsea must keep an eye on any upcoming expenses to prevent complications regarding their Champions League squad.
