Chelsea are set to embark upon one of their most important and significant transfer windows. Not only will they commence the post-Roman Abramovich era once Todd Boehly’s proposed takeover goes through, but they’ll also say goodbye to a couple of seasoned stalwarts.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are both set to leave the club when their contracts expire next summer. The former is expected to join Real Madrid whilst his defensive colleague has been widely tipped to join La Liga rivals Barcelona.
Marcos Alonso has also been heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp and should he depart as well it would leave Thomas Tuchel's side threadbare in defence. A sizable rebuild will need to be conducted under the new regime if the Blues are to remain competitive in the upper echelons of the Premier League and Europe.
