BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea FC is in a terrible situation as their adherence to the Profit and Sustainability regulations is being questioned. This could result in the club selling elite players quickly during the next transfer window.

Due to their dire financial circumstances, Chelsea may be forced to sell several of their best players quickly during the next transfer window.

With a reported loss of £90.1 million before tax for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023, the club’s ability to meet Profit and Sustainability rules has been called into question.

Following The Telegraph’s disclosure of these financial difficulties, there has been conjecture that Chelsea may have to sell players valued at £100 million in order to comply with the rules, which has raised questions about their compliance.

Chelsea has invested heavily in acquiring elite talent under the Boehly administration, shelling out more than £1 billion for players like Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, and Raheem Sterling.

Notably, Fernandez is reportedly amenable to leaving the team, according to FootballTransfers.

Given Chelsea’s current financial situation and the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, which permit clubs to lose up to £105 million over a three-year period, it appears that selling players is necessary to stay out of trouble.

Footballwave has identified a number of players who may be traded during the next transfer window.

Wolves and Fulham may show interest in signing Armando Broja, who has been linked to a move for some time. Chelsea values the 22-year-old striker at approximately £40 million.

Due to ongoing injury concerns, Marc Cucurella, who was purchased from Brighton for £62 million in 2022, has fallen short of expectations and is currently valued at approximately £28 million.

Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher, two homegrown talents, have also been the focus of transfer rumors.

Chalobah is estimated to be worth about £25 million, while Gallagher—who Spurs showed interest in last year—may fetch up to £50 million if he were to be sold.

The record-breaking acquisition for Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku, has not fared well and is now on loan at AS Roma. Given that he has a contract that expires in 2026, Lukaku might fetch about £35 million.

After falling short of expectations since his £47.5 million signing, Raheem Sterling is a 30-year-old attacker that Chelsea may only be willing to pay half that much for.

Despite reports of interest from Arsenal, Mykhailo Mudryk, Chelsea’s costly acquisition from Shakhtar Donetsk, has fallen short of expectations and is difficult to sell.

Chelsea will have a difficult time getting rid of Mudryk, which highlights the dire state of their finances and the necessity of making calculated moves in the impending transfer window.
