Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi were all sold, while N\u2019Golo Kante, Cesar Azpilicueta and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were among the high-earners to leave on free transfers, freeing up significant room in Chelsea\u2019s wage budget.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, Chelsea do not expect a similarly drastic change to the squad but there are several fringe players who are available for transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Romelu Lukaku will be available for \u00a337m once his loan with Roma comes to a close, while Ian Maatsen\u2019s \u00a335m release clause will become active in the summer. Armando Broja was valued at \u00a350m in January but could be sold for closer to the \u00a335m mark at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Trevoh Chalobah is also free to leave Chelsea but the centre-back is waiting for the right move and would prefer to join a club that can offer him European football.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/01hphm4mxbzxnyptt2s3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Romelu Lukaku\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Chelsea hope to part ways with Lukaku permanently \/ Ivan Romano\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s budget could also be boosted by the sale of midfielder Conor Gallagher. While the 24-year-old is not actively for sale, Chelsea\u2019s policy is to listen to offers for any players in the final two years of their contracts and Gallagher entered the last 18 months of his deal in January. A \u00a360m fee was touted in January but that could drop if there is no progress in negotiations over an extension.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0confident of being able to spend even before potential sales are taken into account,\u00a0<em>90min<\/em>\u00a0understands there are plans to pursue a handful of expensive targets with a \u00a3200m-plus spend well within the club\u2019s budget for this summer.<\/p>\n<p>In attack, Napoli\u2019s Victor Osimhen is a key target. The Nigeria international recently signed a new contract with a release clause worth over \u00a3100m in order to facilitate a summer exit from Naples.<\/p>\n<p>Ousmane Diomande of Sporting CP\u00a0is understood to be Chelsea\u2019s preferred defensive target. Contact between the two clubs in January saw Sporting highlight the 20-year-old\u2019s \u20ac80m (\u00a369m) release clause, but that stance could soften in the summer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are relaxed about their financial situation and are not close to breaching spending regulations,\u00a090min\u00a0understands.
