"Chelsea's squad is too cumbersome, and sacked coach Graham Potter himself complained that the American owners bought too many players but did not know how to execute their plans with them. As a result, coach Mauricio Pochettino will be the one to clean up these mistakes," the Daily Mail commented.

Also according to the Daily Mail : "Chelsea has just returned striker Joao Felix to Atletico Madrid. But this is not the only player leaving, in the near future "The Blues" are expected to release up to 15 players and hope to collect about 280 million pounds to balance the budget after spending too much in the previous 2 transfer periods.
After Joao Felix, other players are also about to leave Chelsea after being put on the transfer list including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy and Callum Hudson-Odoi. Meanwhile, the futures of Kalidou Koulibaly, Cesar Azpilicueta and N'Golo Kante are still unclear. Midfielder Denis Zakaria will also return to Juventus. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is also currently considering the cases of Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, as well as Mason Mount, who has only one year left on his contract," the Daily Mail added.

In the opposite direction, Chelsea will debut new player Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, who has completed a contract since early 2023. In addition, coach Mauricio Pochettino can use the cost of selling surplus players to recruit at least one top striker with 3 stars on the list: Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan and Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus.
"Brentford striker Ivan Toney is also on the list, but Chelsea are unlikely to sign him as he is serving a long-term ban for illegal betting. Chelsea are also in talks to sign 22-year-old defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon," the Daily Mail reported.
According to the Daily Mail : "Coach Mauricio Pochettino will have a very busy summer to rebuild Chelsea, through a massive squad cleansing plan and at the same time need to recruit top strikers to patch up the scoring hole of the London team. Last season in the Premier League after 38 matches, Chelsea only scored 38 goals, only 2 goals more than the relegated team Southampton."
