Chelsea are determined not to let players go on the cheap despite facing a race against time to balance the books.
Agents have described Chelsea ’s asking prices as “sky high” even though there is a pressing need to offload players. UEFA have a deadline of June 30 for player sales to be included in the 2022/23 accounts to fall in line with Financial Fair Play rules, although clubs may have different year-in deadlines.
The transfer window does not open until June 14 and there could be a mass exodus from Stamford Bridge this summer but it would seem unlikely that many big deals will be done.
