Chelsea will offload six players to pay for the transfers of Lavia and Olise.

According to reports, Chelsea will sell six players to raise money to sign two more players soon.

To offset the impact of Christopher Nkunku's protracted injured absence, Blues boss Maurcio Pochettino has asked for extra players in midfield and up forward. The club recently acquired Moises Caicedo for a record-breaking £115 million.

Romeo Lavia's £58 million transfer to Southampton has been finalized, and a medical appointment has been scheduled. Olise's £35 million release clause at Crystal Palace has also been triggered.

Chelsea, who has spent freely and paid over £285 million in transfer fees, is attempting to comply with financial fair play (FFP) regulations.

The Stamford Bridge team would have to sell more players as a result, and six more players have reportedly been designated to depart the club, according to Goal.

Romelu Lukaku, a well-known striker, and Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech are among them. Others include young Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, and Ian Maatsen, as well as Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta, Joao Felix, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all deemed surplus to requirements and sold earlier in the summer, making a total of 11 players who have previously been released or sold by the Blues. Kepa Arizabalaga, a goalkeeper, also obtained a loan agreement with Real Madrid.

Chelsea responded to their poor 12th-place finish in the EPL previous season by hiring a new manager and adding eleven players. In their season-opening EPL game last weekend against Liverpool, they managed a nice 1-1 draw.
