Chelsea have entered a crucial summer where Thomas Tuchel is looking to rebuild his squad. Not only does that mean signing new players to improve the team, particularly in the wake of Antonio Rudiger leaving, but it also means the squad may be refreshed by those who leave too.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took ownership of the Blues almost four weeks ago. They will be keen to put in a good first impression, having already landed the likes of Kadeisha Buchanan for Emma Hayes' side. The new owners are said to have a £200 million war chest in mind to help transform Tuchel's squad this summer.
football.london understands that figure may take into account some money from player sales, but with a degree of manoeuvrability in the budget. However, given the names, Chelsea are chasing, boosting the Blues transfer pot will be helpful.
