Blues boss now set to axe “amazing” £52m Chelsea star

Chelsea won’t bow to sentiment in their mission to get back among the honours in English football, and Enzo Maresca has now made a ruthless decision on one of his first-team star’s futures, per a report.

Chelsea kickstart clearout to make way for new additions

With BlueCo controlling the Blues’ purse strings, Todd Boehly has no shortage of money to spend on bringing new additions to Stamford Bridge at any given point in time.

That has already been shown in the lead-up to the summer window, with Dario Essugo and Geovany Quenda agreeing to join Chelsea well in advance of the market officially opening for business.

Having said that, the need to offload depreciating assets to fund incomings won’t lose importance when factoring in the necessity of this development to satisfy PSR.

Tapping into that mindset, Chelsea could offload Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix to raise funds to buy a new striker. They won’t be the only pair for the chop given the likes of Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja and Kepa Arrizabalaga are on loan elsewhere with little indication they are likely to come back into the first-team fold upon their returns.

Sparking uncertainty, Enzo Fernandez is high on Real Madrid’s radar and is a player the Blues won’t want to lose any time soon. If anything, rumours escalating over summer departures are a sign that Maresca needs to remain on his guard when shaping his talented squad.

Heeding that warning, the Italian now appears to have made a decision that could spark debate among supporters in months to come.

Chelsea set to offload Christopher Nkunku this summer

According to GIVEMESPORT, Chelsea are set to offload Cristopher Nkunku this summer and his future is now deemed ‘increasingly likely’ to be away from Stamford Bridge.

Despite opportunities opening up in the second half of the campaign due to Nicolas Jackson’s spell on the sidelines, Maresca was left unimpressed by the France international’s output and has now decided to put the former RB Leipzig man on the market.

Scoring 14 times in 38 appearances, only three of his strikes have come in the Premier League, and it is said that a move to an environment that synchronises more acutely with his style of play is now on the agenda.

Labelled “amazing” by Joao Felixthe 27-year-old has taken on 24 shots in the English top flight this termfiring 12 on target. Chelsea have failed in their attempts to play to his strengths, making an exit this summer almost inevitable should bidders come forward.

Finding someone willing to take on his £195,000-per-week wages will be a challenge for the Blues, but it is also an opportunity for BlueCo’s strong negotiation skills to come to the fore.
