BEN CHILWELL could be among Chelsea's top candidates to be sold during the summer transfer window.
The Blues are planning a significant clearout following two years under Todd Boehly's ownership, which has already seen them splashing over £1billion on transfers alone.
According to The Athletic, the West Londoners are set to offload a number of players, including a few key man from last season.
The report claims the compatibility of Chilwell, 27, with new manager Enzo Maresca’s style is "less than clear".
The full-back is one of Chelsea's highest earners and the club could be open to selling him if the price is right.
However, the England international's injury record could have a negative effect in the transfer market.
Djordje Petrovic, meanwhile, appears an even more likely candidate to be sold, despite playing as Chelsea's No1 last season under former boss Mauricio Pochettino.
There are doubts about Petrovic's ability to play in the way Maresca demands, and his impressive performances last term have club chiefs believing they could make a profit this summer.
Conor Gallagher's situation continues to be unclear as there is an equal chance of a departure and a contract renewal.
Gallagher has 12 months left on his contract and is expected to join the team for the pre-season tour in the US while various Premier League clubs continue to monitor his situation.
Kepa Arrizabalaga could be on his way out after an unsuccessful loan stint at Real Madrid as Al-Ittihad continue to hold talks after having an opening bid rejected.
Chelsea are also expecting to receive good news from Napoli, with the Italians seeing Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen.
And Lens have expressed interest in Malang Sarr during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea would only consider permanent deals for Kepa, Lukaku and Sarr due to their sizeable wages.
Lesley Ugochukwu, Harvey Vale and Leo Castledine have all been earmarked for loan moves.
Trevoh Chalobah, who was left out of the pre-season squad, Armando Broja, Cesare Casadei and David Datro Fofana could all be sold if acceptable offers arrive.

I don't understand this coach anymore, he sale, what does he want to buy? he forced Chalobah, and now Gallagher, Petrovic and Ben
If it's true then this new coach and new owners have the same vision to destroy Chelsea. What wrong do they see in Chalobah,Petrovic,Chill well and Gallagher?

The new owners are here for business of buying young players at cheap price and expecting to sell them on high price in the future, they are not here for trophies that's what I have realised, useless Americans

What I am realising is that the new owners are determined to do away with everything about the Abramovich era at Chelsea. Reece James must be ready for it when the right price comes. How can Chelsea sell Chalobah and maintain Badiashele? The saĺe of Cònor Gallagher will injure Chelsea but as I said earlier he is of the Abramovich era. If the new owners have the chance, they will even change the name of Chelsea, the name of the stadium and even the colour of the home kit. Gallagher himself must be wise. For now, he will be sacrificed for money regardless of his football for Chelsea. Or he must stay on and run his contract ďown and as a free agent, choose the next team to continue his career in.

Sterling is world class, not just a poor season
Not just 1 he had 2 poor seasons already!! Being an experienced player he should lead from the front when team is struggling. With his wage bracket he is no where near the expectations!!

Remember there is Marc Cucurella at that left back who was fantastic and made the Best 11 at the Euro2024. So Cucurella is the sure No 1 LB for Chelsea
Yes I agree Cucurella has claimed the No.1 spot for LB but Chilwell or Maatsen should have been the backup, both cannot be sold!! Maatsen is already sold so Chilwell should stay!!

Why Maatsen was sold if Chilwell was not your first choice?? We are loosing identity of the club, every year we buy so many players and sell many players!! No value for academy players!! What’s going on?? Petrovic was good last season, he is settling down why is he on sale?? Why do we need Sanchez?? Dead rubbers Lukaku, Sarr, Sterling, Fofana, Broja are still at the club but you want to sell important players Gallagher, Chilwell and Petrovic!! Come on Chelsea!!
