Chelsea plans summer clear-out, targets €500 million in sales

Chelsea is planning a significant summer clear-out as they aim to raise around €500 million by selling underperforming players, including the injury-prone Wesley Fofana, who was signed for £73.5 million. The club's management, led by manager Enzo Maresca, is focused on improving the squad to secure Champions League qualification for next season. Alongside Fofana, several other players such as Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling are also rumored to be on the chopping block. Additionally, Maresca addressed speculation regarding Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, emphasizing that while he recognizes Delap's talent, he believes Chelsea already has their ideal striker in Nicolas Jackson. Despite the interest in strengthening the forward position, Maresca reiterated his commitment to Jackson as the team's focal point. The situation remains dynamic as the summer transfer window approaches.
