Chelsea plans exits and potential new deals ahead of transfer deadline

Chelsea is actively preparing for the final week of the summer transfer window, focusing on player exits before making new signings. The club seeks to establish balance within the squad, with multiple players, including Enzo Fernandez, under scrutiny for potential sales. Although Manchester City is interested in Fernandez, Chelsea is firm in its demands, requiring a deal that preserves the squad's strength. The club is looking to sell several forwards, including Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap, as part of a larger recruitment strategy to reshape the team under manager Xabi Alonso.
