As many as 12 more Chelsea first-team players could leave the club in the summer transfer window as the club continues to trim their squad under Xabi Alonso.
Filip Jorgensen officially became the sixth first-team player to leave Chelsea this summer after the announcement of his season-long loan move to RC Strasbourg.
The goalkeeper followed the likes of Andrey Santos (Manchester United), Marc Cucurella (Real Madrid), Tyrique George (Everton), Alejandro Garnacho (loan - Aston Villa), and Trevoh Chalobah (Como).
Even so, the list is expected to continue to grow in the coming weeks.
Some of them are quite obvious.
Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Marc Guiu were all left out of Chelsea’s pre-season tour in Australia and Asia, so it is clear they are not expected to be part of Xabi Alonso’s squad this season.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are open to offers for up to 12 players, including this out-of-favour trio.
Chelsea are reported to set an asking price of £30 million for Badiashile, £25m for Disasi, and £25m for Guiu.
Mostly-forgotten striker David Datro Fofana is also expected to be sold permanently in this window.
Others would cost a lot more to potential suitors.
It is reported that it would take a “very large bid” to convince Chelsea to part ways with Pedro Neto, who is said to have attracted interest from four Premier League clubs.
Enzo Fernandez and Malo Gusto are also subjects of interest from several clubs, and they are valued at £120m and £75m, respectively.
Fernandez, in particular, is increasingly likely to stay at Chelsea, given his steep price tag and being part of Chelsea’s plans for the new season. That said, Chelsea have brought in a couple of new midfielders to strengthen their midfield this summer, which is likely why he is not on the club’s not-for-sale list.
Two strikers, Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson, are also in contention to be sold, with Chelsea demanding £50m for the former and £65m for the latter.

It is also worth noting that Chelsea have yet to clarify Emmanuel Emegha's role in the squad after he missed the pre-season tour due to a hamstring injury. He was spotted on the grass at Cobham this week.
Several players could also be available for loan.
Mykhailo Mudryk, who recently returned to the football pitch after his doping suspension ended, is among those who could leave on loan. Chelsea are expected to make a decision on Mudryk’s immediate future closer to the end of the transfer window.
Considering he looked quite fit in recent pre-season appearances despite almost two years of inactivity, Chelsea should get plenty of loan offers for the winger before the window closes.
Mamadou Sarr and Aaron Anselmino are also in this category. Anselmino’s recent hamstring injury, which he sustained in the 3-3 friendly draw with Johor Darul Ta’zim in Malaysia on Sunday, could unfortunately hurt his chances of securing a loan exit should he be sidelined.
Youngsters Reggie Walsh and Ryan Kavuma-McQueen are also closing in on loan moves for the 2026/27 season.
