After todd Burleigh completed the acquisition, chelsea's future became clear. However, Chelsea, which just won the Champions League a season ago, still faces the possibility of disintegration. According to the Mirror, in addition to Rudiger, who has already announced that he will leave, as many as 10 players are likely to leave the team in the summer window.
The Blues were unable to negotiate with players whose contracts were about to expire due to sanctions this season, which led to core players like Rudiger leaving the team.

It is also possible for midfield core Jorginho to leave, his contract with the Blues expires in 2023, but Tuchel is desperate for the club to renew Jorginho's contract, "with him and Kante extension should be a target for all of us." "Saul, who came on loan from Atletico, has not performed well and will return to Spain after his contract expires, with a potential departure for Barkley.
In the front, the returning Romelu Lukaku did not perform well, losing his main position after falling out with Tuchel, and leaving the team in the summer window was almost inevitable. With his diligent performances, Werner won the trust of some fans, but Chelsea were open to his departure before being sanctioned.
Players likely to leave also include Pulisic, the Mirror noted, "he often impresses when he gets opportunities, but they don't happen enough." "Hudson-Odoi's contract with Chelsea expires in 2024 and he has not fully demonstrated his potential and may leave the team in the summer window.
