Timo Werner could lead a clearout of up to 15 players at Chelsea as the club looks to streamline its playing squad ahead of the new campaign.
Raheem Sterling joined in a £50million transfer including add-ons from Manchester City before Kalidou Koulibaly became the Blues' second summer signing after transferring from Napoli in a £33.8million (€40m) deal. Chelsea are now hopeful of signing both Jules Kounde and Prisnel Kimpembe from Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.
Werner hinted at a possible exit from Stamford Bridge this summer when stating: "It is clear I want to play more and I should play more to first be in good shape for the World Cup and, also, to have a chance to play at the World Cup." The German international could be the most eye-catching exit in a busy summer at the club.
