Bradley Barcola is one of two players at Olympique Lyonnais who is on Chelsea's radar this summer – the other is fan favourite Rayan Cherki
Chelsea have been given a major boost to their hopes of signing Bradley Barcola this summer. The 20-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently as Mauricio Pochettino plans to further bolster his squad before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month.
In fact, according to Fabrizio Romano, Olympique Lyonnais informed Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain last week that they'll only consider selling the youngster as part of a player(s) plus cash swap deal. For the Blues, this could play into their hands with several players yet to be offloaded.
So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at the four players which the west London outfit are expected to sell before the transfer window slams shut and, therefore, offer Lyon as makeweights.
Romelu Lukaku
According to the Evening Standard, Juventus have offered Chelsea £32million, plus £2million in add-ons, for Lukaku, but their proposal is conditional to the sale of Dusan Vlahovic. The report adds that Al-Hilal have agreed a £40million fee with the Blues for the Belgian, but they could walk away from a deal after signing Aleksandar Mitrovic from Fulham.
Callum Hudson-Odoi
With Mykhailo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Christopher Nkunku all at Pochettino's disposal on the wing, Hudson-Odoi faces an extremely uncertain future. To pile of the misery, Chelsea are said to be in the market for a new right-winger, who can also play as a number ten, so he too could be jetted off to France this summer.
Marc Cucurella
Ben Chilwell is expected to continue as Chelsea's first-choice left-back, while Ian Maasten remains an exciting and versatile option for Pochettino off the bench. With the Blues well stocked at the back, opportunities could be of the essence for Cucurella.
Malang Sarr
Sarr featured a number of times for Chelsea towards the end of Thomas Tuchel's tenure in west London, but he's now surplus to requirements. And, more so than ever before following the arrival of Axel Disasi earlier this month.

They should just buy, they do have enough money. Why offering players?
