Chelsea are preparing for a busy summer transfer window with Todd Boehly set to move on a number of players whilst adding more signings to the squad. Mauricio Pochettino will be working on transfer plans that can help the Blues return towards the top of the Premier League table next season.
As many as 10 players could be sold this summer with Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Cesar Azpilicueta, Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante all facing uncertain futures. The latter's contract is set to expire this summer with there yet to be a breakthrough in negotiations over an extension.
With a number of midfielders expected to leave the club, Manuel Ugarte has emerged as a potential candidate to complete a move to Stamford Bridge. Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United have all registered an interest in signing the 22-year-old - who has a £52million release clause in his contract at Sporting CP.
