Chelsea have reportedly put 11 first-team players up for sale as the club presses ahead with a major squad rebuild during the summer transfer window. The Blues are keen to trim their squad after investing more than £300 million on new arrivals ahead of the 2026/27 season. Chelsea have already moved closer to reducing the squad, with Chalobah reportedly agreeing a £31 million switch to Serie A newcomers Como. Alonso rotated his players throughout the match as he continued assessing his options, but Chelsea were unable to avoid defeat. After three pre-season matches, Chelsea have scored seven goals and conceded seven, a record that reflects their attacking threat but also exposes defensive concerns.
