Chelsea in talks to get summer deal done for £50M star – Fans told moves to happen

Speaking to Football Insider exclusively, finance expert Dan Plumley outlined the importance of selling players this summer amid talk that CHELSEA are in talks to let Ben Chilwell make the permanent move away from the club this summer

CHELSEA have brought in several players including Estevao from Palmeiras, Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, and Joao Pedro from Brighton as part of a total outlay of over £200m.

The Blues have barely sold any players this transfer window, with Djorde Petrovic making up most of that £44 million they have made from sales after he left the club to join Bournemouth.

However – there are a number of players linked with a move a move away from the club this summer, and the Blues are actually in talks to sell Chilwell, and now Plumley explained that whilst the club had banked a “huge amount of money”, several players would need to leave this summer due to UEFA’s regulations.

He said: “I think it comes down to sales ultimately, and we’ve seen a lot of reports that are suggesting the same thing.

“They’ve got to get players out of the door to make that equation work, not just because of the sheer size of the squad, but also where the registrations are for the Champions League and what they’ve got to do to comply with UEFA for any other sanctions that they might face. It has to be based on how the squad all ends up.

“If you look at the money side of it, and they have banked a huge amount of money, around £80m for getting to the final. It’s a few extra million to win it, which is great.

“The money’s still been good no matter what, but I think if you look at it in relation to the Champions League and the squad registration, it’s got to be about getting a couple of players out of the door, possibly even more than that.”
