Chelsea's great midfield rework is underway as Mauricio Pochettino looks set to oversee a number of changes in the squad this summer. A whole host of players are linked with exits as the bloated numbers in the dressing room need cutting down before the new season.
The balance of the squad is one key element, with the finances another on top of dealing with the contract situations throughout the team. The central ranks are one the main areas for this change as Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Conor Gallagher are all rumoured with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
They could join Jorginho, who left in January, by leaving and kickstarting the rework in Chelsea's midfield that is required for the new boss. Manuel Ugarte was an option for the Blues, but the Sporting CP star made the move to join PSG instead, switching focus to elsewhere.
