Selling is as important as buying for Chelsea under new ownership this summer. The use of the word rebuild should not only refer to the out-of-contract names leaving but also to others whose time at Stamford Bridge should end in 2022.
Chelsea have been putting off this grand project for several years, and now they have little choice as the defensive situation has forced the club's hand. On top of that, other areas need revamping as a lack of consistent output compared with what the club is paying for players' services needs an honest conversation.
One of the names touted as a potential sale in the coming months is Timo Werner, who has struggled greatly since his 2020 move from RB Leipzig for £47m.
