Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is ready to oversee a massive clean-up this summer, removing a lot of unnecessary players.

Antonio Rudiger has already completed his transfer to Real Madrid as a free transfer, with Andreas Christensen determined to leave for Barcelona at the end of his contract.

The other two defenders, the Spaniards Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are in the last days of their contracts and are on the Catalans’ radar.

According to The Telegraph, Chelsea will hear offers for many other players who are considered replaceable.

Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech are the first two names that could leave for the right offers, as they failed to fit into the Premier League, following the merger by RB Leipzig and Ajax respectively.

Christian Pulisic could also leave, while the club is still negotiating with Inter for a deal for center-forward Romelu Lukaku.

Michy Batshuayi, Kenedy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley are the others being advertised across Europe.

Thus, the transfer window this summer is expected to be very active for the Blues who can remove up to 12 players, while large transfers are expected after the change of ownership.
