The Mirror report that the Blues want to offload a huge bulk of deadwood that they could not shift last year who are returning from various loans. Romelu Lukaku is the Blues' highest earner and the they have been unsuccessfully attempting to shift the striker for the past two summers.
Kepa Arrizabalaga has also returned from a loan spent largely on the Real Madrid bench and David Datro Fofana, Armando Broja and Cesare Casadei are also back at the club but look set to depart.
Other players potentially up for sale include homegrown talents Trevor Chalobah and Conor Gallagher as well as other first-team regulars Ben Chilwell and Djordje Petrovic. Out-of-favour centre-half Malang Sarr has already had his lucrative contract cancelled to allow him to move to RC Lens.
Chelsea have got to sell before they can buy many more players.
