Chelsea’s Summer Transfer Strategy: Outgoings and Targeted Signings

Chelsea FC is gearing up for a significant squad overhaul this summer, with a clear focus on selling before buying. The club has identified several players they are ready to part ways with, totaling a market value of £255 million. Names like Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech, and Christian Pulisic are among those expected to leave Stamford Bridge as part of a strategic move to balance the books and refresh the squad.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shed light on Chelsea's intentions to strengthen in three key positions: a new striker, a central midfielder, and a right-back. This move comes as Chelsea aims to bolster their squad for the upcoming season, with a particular emphasis on the striker position, deemed a priority by the club's management.

The transfer market is expected to see Chelsea adopting a 'sell to buy' approach, which will be crucial for their financial strategy. As the summer window approaches, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how these plans unfold and which new faces will arrive at Stamford Bridge.
