A handful of players at Chelsea have been yearning to leave the club in the summer, just as the latest signings at the club have been proposed with a pay cut.

With the air of defeat and disappointment surrounding Stamford Bridge after conceding one of the worst seasons in the club’s history, several players are expected to find new homes in the summer.

The delay in having an experienced coach at the club might also be another logic to the dilemma.

According to reports from the Athletic, several members of the once-great club are planning to pull out from the Blues project.

Meanwhile, if the player are to evacuate from Chelsea, they must fall under the ’12 months left on their contract’ bracket.

Some of the signings that joined recently are reportedly regretting joining the West Londoners on long-term contracts.

The ones under the category of lasing their salaries are expected to face a 30% wage cut for not accomplishing Champions League positions.

Although the wage demotion will not be included for those players who joined before the new owners took over.

Chelsea do not have anything to fight for at the moment asides to stay away from relegation spots. The Blues currently in a ten-point distance between the danger zone.

They will now continue their season of disaster against hungry Arsenal, who are in search of a win in four games, at the Emirates on Tuesday.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
