Chelsea have been very active in the summer transfer window so far as they look to back new manager Xabi Alonso.
The Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership have splashed the cash to bolster Alonso's squad, bringing in Marco Palestra, Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Valentin Barco and Pep Chavarria, as well as Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson on free transfers.
With incomings, departures are required, and Chelsea have already made several notable sales. Andrey Santos left for Manchester United, and Tyrique George was sold to Everton. Trevoh Chalobah ended his time at the club to join Como.
Several loans have been finalised in recent weeks. Filip Jorgensen, Alejandro Garnacho, Ryan Kavuma-McQueen and Ishe Samuels-Smith have all sorted moves away for the upcoming season.
But that is just the beginning of departures Chelsea hope to make. Plenty of movement is expected, particularly in defence and attack, in the final weeks of the transfer window.
Here is the latest on Tosin Adarabioyo, Kendry Paez, Dastan Satpayev and Pedro Neto.
As reported by Sky Sports, Tosin is attracting interest from several clubs this summer, including Marseille and Benfica.
The 28-year-old signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer.
Given Chelsea's options at centre-back, along with the £52 million arrival of Lacroix from Crystal Palace, Alonso is hoping to trim his defensive options to four or five centre-backs.
Tosin was left out of the squad against Real Sociedad on August 15, indicating where his future may lie - away from Chelsea.
He currently wears the number four shirt in west London. That was taken by new signing Valentin Barco for the pre-season friendly.
The 19-year-old is midway through his loan spell at River Plate. However, his time in Argentina is expected to be cut short, and he is set to go on another loan to support his development.
Now TyC Sports claims Chelsea are in negotiations to loan Paez to Turkish side Trabzonspor, who recently signed Mohamed Salah after his Liverpool departure.
After his transfer to Chelsea from FC Kairat was officially confirmed, Satpayev, now 18, has departed on loan to join Championship side Burnley for the 2026/27 season.
The Kazakh featured in pre-season for Chelsea during the club's tour of Australia and Asia, and will hope to play a part in Burnley's push for immediate promotion back to the Premier League.
Chelsea are not readily making the 26-year-old available for a summer departure. But he is attracting interest from clubs, and Neto is not on the Blues' list of 'untouchable' players, suggesting that if a suitable offer arrives, he could leave.
After returning from his break after the World Cup, Neto has been deployed as a wing-back when Alonso has deployed a three-back system, including against Real Sociedad.
Competition is heavy in attack, and after the arrivals of Geovany Quenda and Morgan Rogers, Neto could see his minutes become more limited in 2026-27. He is, though, believed to be highly valued by the club.
