According to British media, "The Blues" could sell up to 8 players to create a budget to recruit a top striker. This has been the goal that the Stamford Bridge team has longed for in recent transfer periods.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Kepa Arrizabalaga (on loan at Bournemouth) and Axel Disasi (on loan at Aston Villa) are soon to be blacklisted. Chelsea want to sell both for a significant sum.

Besides, other names may also be on the list of players to be sold, to help Chelsea focus on finding a real striker.

Chelsea have long wanted to add a quality striker. In the last two transfer windows, they openly pursued Victor Osimhen but failed. Now, the Stamford Bridge team continues to target Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres.

Maresca once said he had no regrets about not adding a striker in the January 2025 transfer window, but in reality Chelsea struggled when Nicolas Jackson was injured. At that time, Christopher Nkunku and young talent Marc Guiu were the options up front, forcing Chelsea to use Pedro Neto as a temporary solution.

On the evening of March 16, Chelsea suffered a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the 29th round of the Premier League, but still had a chance to win a ticket to the Champions League next season. Returning to the most prestigious arena in Europe helped the London team increase its revenue, and the opportunity to attract the world's top stars.

Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea have not rushed into big-money deals and have focused on investing in the future. They recently spent £58.5m on Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon, demonstrating a long-term strategy.

However, in order to explode in the transfer market this summer, Chelsea needs to free up the wage bill and create financial resources. That means a series of names must leave. Obviously, Chelsea is gradually strengthening its force in a calculated way.

They are willing to sell players who are no longer in their plans to create conditions for new players who fit Maresca's philosophy. If they recruit a top striker, "The Blues" can become a formidable force in the Premier League next season.
