Chelsea continues to make serious progress in selling players this summer, with discussions going on to offload another star with Leslie Ugochukwu, Keenan Deucebury Hall and Kearney Chukwuemeka.
In the last 72 hours, Enzo Maresca’s side has raised about £65 million of ejections, starting with Armando Bruja, who completed his move to Burnley (Fabrizio Romano).

Since then, Kieran Dewsbury-Hall has agreed to switch to Premier League rival Everton, and Ugochukwu agreed to chase Broja down to Turf Moor. Once all of these transactions are announced, the club is expected to raise its total transfer revenues far north of £200 million.
As things stand, Chelsea are about £58 million away from balancing the balance of their books perfectly.
The financial pimples of their earthquakes from winning the Club World Cup and playing in the Champions League next season have already placed Chelsea in lieu of solid finance when it comes to PSR, but in a completely different case when it comes to FFP.
The Blues were fined last month for violating FFP rules and must create a “positive transfer balance” if they want to register a new Champions League signature next season.
The need to make a sale doesn’t stop here in discussions that Chelsea will sign both Zabi Simons of RB Leipzig and Alejandro Garnacho of Mann United.
Borussia Dortmund is in discussions to sign Carney Chukwuemeka again. So there could be another opportunity for Chelsea to seal another Quick Fire exit this week.
Alongside the aforementioned quartet who played his final game at Chelsea Blue, Christopher Nekunk, a 195,000-pound attacker per week, can leave Stamford Bridge before the deadline.
Chelsea in total to sell Christopher Nkunkuu
That said, Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is in ongoing discussions about selling unkunk after the mixed campaign.
The Frenchman managed to score 15 goals in all competitions last season despite not being a key player under Maresca.
Called “top player” by former teammate Joan Felix, Chelsea is clearly forced to lower the asking price for the ex-Leipzig sense, so the club is certainly tempted to bite a bullet.
