3 Chelsea Stars Who Could Leave Stamford Bridge Before Window Closes

• Chelsea have been quite busy in the summer transfer window under the ownership of Todd Boelhy
• The Blues have brought in Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly after losing the likes of Rudiger and Andreas Christensen
• With the transfer window slowly coming to a close, Chelsea could still lose more players

At least three big names could still leave Chelsea before the close of the summer transfer window.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is currently in the middle of an interesting rebuild at the club, and the team is set to have a fairly different look next season.

The likes of Romelu Lukaku, Anreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger are some of the big names who made their way out of the club this summer, with some equally big names also coming in.

Raheem Sterling was signed from Manchester City for £47.5million, while the Blues also managed to aquire Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.

At the moment, a new centre-back appears to still be on the agenda for Chelsea, who have recently been embroiled in a dramatic arm-wrestle with Barcelona for Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, who finally agreed a deal to move to the Nou Camp.

Potential departures

Ahead of the close of the window on September 1, Chelsea could still see some other departures which include the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Marcos Alonso and Ceasar Azpilicueta.

According to 90Min, the duo of Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are still on Barcelona’s wishlist this summer and Xavi’s side has developed a knack of making signings despite their financial struggles so a move is not impossible.

For Ziyech, he has been linked with a move to AC Milan, and Chelsea are actually willing to cash in on the Moroccan if the right bid comes by.

Ex Tottenham star explains why he rejected Manchester United

Elsewhere, Kieran Trippier has come out to explain why he turned down efforts from Manchester United to sign him during the January transfer window.

The versatile defender said that United expressed interest but opted to join the Magpies after having a conversation with the head coach Eddie Howe.

The 31-year-old won the La Liga title with Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone. He became an instant success for Newcastle scoring a couple of goals before he suffered a knee injury.
