Todd Boehly's £138.5m move signals new Chelsea transfer era as Blues learn from two mistakes

It's setting up to be a very busy week in the transfer market for Chelsea. Already N'Golo Kante's departure has been confirmed and four sales seem set to follow while the Blues also look to land the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Moises Caicedo.

PIF and Saudi Arabia have provided the west London side with a destination to send their unwanted players this summer. Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy could all see their futures in the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr, Al Hilal and Al Ahli respectively.

The trio appear could bring in a combined fee in the region of £38.5million, a figure well short of the outlay initially spent on their talents, Koulibaly almost reaching that fee alone when he signed from Napoli not even a year ago. With Chelsea also set to release talent to the Premier League however, the Blues are set to bring in £100million in the sales of Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic to Arsenal and Manchester City respectively.
