Christian Pulisic could lead the mass exodus of Chelsea stars this summer as Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital plan a large scale clearout before they turn to bringing in this summer. It is a fact brought about not just due to the bloated squad, potential financial ramifications and new manager sales, but also out of necessity.
The Blues have been carrying the weight of underperforming and overpaid players for several seasons and, if nothing else, the recent year of turmoil has only proven how badly the squad was in need of a total reset. It doesn't make for good reason for most of the players currently on the books.
Finding new destinations for those that have no future at Stamford Bridge past this season is a task that will prove trickier in reality, though. Due to high wages, mammoth costs and lack of monetary firepower across Europe it has been hard to flog stars that haven't made it in the Premier League.
