Chelsea transfer news: The three senior stars set to be sold by 30th June are revealed
Chelsea will listen to offers for Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the trio could be the first three senior players sacrificed to help the Blues stay within profit and sustainability regulations.
Chelsea have recorded losses of £211.5million in the last two seasons, but regulations only allow £105million worth of losses over three years.
Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that these players would need to be sold before 30th June to avoid a potential points deduction.
Conor Gallagher among first three Chelsea stars to go
Gallagher, 24, has been heavily linked with a move to rivals Tottenham, with Football Insider revealing (24 March) that they are preparing an initial £30-40million bid early this summer.
Talks regarding a new deal for Gallagher, whose contract expires at the end of next season, have stalled which has opened the door for the Lilywhites to sign him from the underpressure Blues.
Chalobah, 24, had been widely linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge in January but has recently returned to the starting line-up after a lengthy spell out injured.
Regardless, it is believed that Chelsea see him as a sellable asset who would garner plenty of interest in the off-season.
Broja, 22, moved on loan for the remainder of the season to fellow West Londoners Fulham in January but is yet to get his first goal for his new side.
Sources told Football Insider (22 January) that Chelsea wanted at least £50million for Broja’s permanent departure in January.
Chelsea sit 11th in the Premier League table and most recently advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals after their 4-2 win against Championship side Leicester City.
They are next set to face Burnley at Stamford Bridge on 30 March after the international break.
