Chelsea are still finding their feet in the transfer market with Todd Boehly at the helm. While most of the attention is around incoming transfers, work is also to be done in the opposite direction. The Blues have made some impressive signings for the women's side and earlier this week added Eddie Beach to their academy ranks.
The first piece of business involved in Thomas Tuchel's squad seems likely to be the return of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan. However, with a transfer for Jules Kounde yet to be complete and the Blues looking to make progress in deals for the likes of Raheem Sterling and Matthijs de Ligt. There is a great deal of work for Boehly to complete having become Chelsea's interim sporting director.
Marcos Alonso is a figure who has consistently been linked with a transfer to Barcelona throughout the summer, and the latest reports suggest that £11 million could be enough to prise him away from Stamford Bridge. While most would be happy to let the 31-year-old depart with a year remaining on his deal, he played a crucial role for Chelsea in the absence of Ben Chilwell and accounted for four goals and five assists in 28 Premier League appearances in 2021/22.
