Chelsea could recoup almost £60million in player wages alone should Todd Boehly’s summer exodus go ahead. It is no secret that the Blues will be aiming to trim the fat off their overpopulated squad once the transfer market opens.
Around £600million has been spent since the American fronted a consortium to buy the club from Roman Abramovich last year. So far, they are yet to see a return on their investment - with Chelsea likely to drop out of European competition next season.
The Blues are on course for their worst Premier League season since 1995-96, when Glenn Hoddle’s side finished 11th. However, Boehly has one trump card up his sleeve to help rejig Chelsea’s finances this summer.
