Chelsea have already generated substantial revenue through player departures this summer, and additional moves may follow given the size of their bloated squad.
Enzo Fernandez could still leave Chelsea for Manchester City.
The west London club are poised to potentially break their own Premier League record for transfer sales this summer.
Data from Transfermarkt shows that the £314million the club received last summer in transfer fees represented the highest amount any top-flight side had ever earned in a single window.
Currently, Xabi Alonso’s team are tracking towards approximately £211.85million in income, not accounting for potential exits involving Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, and Liam Delap.
The club began their season with a 3-2 victory at local rivals Fulham on Monday evening.
Fernandez was met with jeers from supporters of both teams at Craven Cottage, and Manchester City continue to explore a move for the Argentine, who is believed to be receptive to the transfer.
The informal deadline the club set for interested parties passed earlier this month, meaning the Blues will now push for a higher fee and require more than their previous £120million asking price before agreeing to any sale.
The club have already offloaded defender Trevoh Chalobah to Como in a permanent deal worth an initial £25.7million plus an additional £5.1million in performance-related clauses.
Left-back Marc Cucurella also completed a move to Real Madrid in a £51.8million package, with £47.5million payable upfront and £4.3million in add-ons.
Tyrique George also moved to Everton following his loan spell on Merseyside in a £24million deal comprising £18million plus £6million in bonuses.
Young forward Jimmy-Jay Morgan transferred to West Brom, where he has made an encouraging start at the Hawthorns, in a deal potentially worth £4million.
Alejandro Garnacho’s initial loan to Aston Villa could become permanent for £42.75million if certain conditions, believed to be related to game time, are satisfied.
Midfielder Andrey Santos also departed for Manchester United for approximately £50million after establishing himself in the side under Enzo Maresca.
Young midfielder Omari Kellyman has now completed a move to sister club Strasbourg in a deal reported to be worth £5.13million.
Filip Jorgensen was also sent to Strasbourg on loan while Dastan Satpayev joined Burnley temporarily, though whether loan fees were involved remains unclear.
Benoit Badiashile also moved to Napoli on loan for an initial £2.57million loan fee plus £860,000 in bonuses, with a buy option that can be activated next summer for £23.09million.
Chelsea’s ambitious recruitment strategy under BlueCo means they certainly have no shortage of valuable assets to sell, and further departures and arrivals before the September 1 cutoff cannot be discounted.
Chelsea have unveiled their new away kit for the 2026/27 season, described as a tribute to the club’s ‘Italian Renaissance’. The design features a black base with gold accents as a nod to their transformative 1990s period.
