After losing in the semi-final of the Champions League at home to Atletico Madrid Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is to clean house buy first selling David Luis to help fund a new strike force while also pursuing Everton’s John Stones.
Chelsea meanwhile will also face a battle from Paris Saint-Germain for Belgium international Eden Hazard who has become frustrated at Stamford Bridge according to the Daily Mirror.
Mourinho expects to get around £30 million for David Luiz who is a target of both Barcelona and Bayern Munich and will use the money to sign Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa while also going after Everton youngster John Stones.
Other departures will include Chelsea’s underperforming strike force of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o who is ready to leave after Mourinho’s remarks about his age.
Two other player likely to leave are Ashley Cole who could go to either Liverpool or Real Madrid and John Obi Mikel who has lost his place to Nemanja Matic with Inter Milan and Galatasaray both possibilities.
Two of Chelsea on loan player Romelu Lukaku and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois do not know where they will end up next summer with the Blues boss looking as though he would like to bring back Courtois to compete with Petr Cech in goal.
Whatever happens Chelsea will still be a formidable side next season, and if they do manage to sign Costa you can expect to see plenty of goals.
