Four Chelsea defenders could be heading to the Stamford Bridge exit door this summer in a transfer period which promises substantial change amid Todd Boehly's takeover plans.
Whilst the wait goes on for the part LA Dodgers owner to dot the I's and cross the T's on his proposed £4.25billion purchase of Chelsea from Roman Abramovich, all talk, now that the FA Cup final has come and gone, has turned towards the impending summer transfer window. With Boehly's takeover expected to be completed by May 31, the Blues are expected to have their special license removed and consequently, this would allow the normal transfer operations to continue after months of a stalemate regarding the ability for Marina Granovskaia and others having to negotiate incomings and outgoings ahead of 2022/23.
Nonetheless, deals are seemingly being worked on by agents behind the scenes who are ready to spring their head once this whole takeover saga comes to an end. Antonio Rudiger's free transfer move to Real Madrid is all ready to go through whilst Andreas Christensen's exit to Barcelona seems imminent. Additionally, both Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta could be joining their Danish teammate in Catalunya if the latest update from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano is to be believed.
