Chelsea ideally want to do more than a deal every day before the transfer deadline on September 1.
They are targeting moves for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho and RB Leipzig’s versatile attacking midfielder Xavi Simons.
For those two moves to go through, they want to sell both striker Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, while academy graduate Tyrique George would also see his game time reduced and is being allowed to explore both loan and permanent moves away from Stamford Bridge. That’s five deals but defender Aaron Anselmino is also allowed to leave on loan before the transfer deadline.
Now, we reach the so-called ‘bomb squad’, which features Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Alex Matos, Alfie Gilchrist and David Datro Fofana are all for sale, taking it to 12 potential deals.
