Chelsea ready to let Werner and 14 other players leave

A report via the Mirror UK has disclosed that Chelsea are ready to let at least 15 of their players leave this summer.

With the likes of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger joining Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively as free agents and Romelu Lukaku returning to Inter Milan on loan this summer, Chelsea still have a list of players they want to leave the club.

The Blues hope to revamp their squad ahead of next season and Germany international Timo Werner, who is also struggling at the club could be among those that could leave this summer.

Defenders Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are on Barcelona’s target list, while defender Levi Colwill will also have to find first-team opportunities elsewhere.

Emerson Palmieri, Ethan Ampadu and Baba Rahman would be leaving permanently and not on loan this time.

Tino Anjorin is expected to leave Chelsea, while Billy Gilmour would move out on loan.

It may be time for Tiemoue Bakayoko to exit Stamford Bridge permanently, having not played for them since the 2018 FA Cup final.

Others likely to leave include Ross Barkley, who is not a regular at Chelsea and Kenedy, who played only three times for the first team after returning from a loan spell at Flamengo.

Michy Batshuayi could leave on loan or permanently this summer, while Armando Broja is likely to leave for West Ham on loan or permanently.

Hakim Ziyech’s future is also in doubt amid links with AC Milan.
