      Chelsea begin huge transfer firesale with FOURTEEN players up for sale including Madueke, Nkunku and forgotten £45m flop

      by

      CHELSEA are preparing for a huge summer of sales with up to FOURTEEN players facing the axe. The Blues finished in the top four – to qualify for the Champions League – while topping off the campaign by lifting the Conference League trophy. Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix look set to leave Chelsea for goodCredit: GettyDespite the ultimately successful campaign, Enzo Maresca is braced to start next season with a new-look squad of fresh faces.Liam Delap is set to sign for £30million from Ipswich while wingers Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho are linked with a move to West London. But according to The Guardian, Chelsea are also looking to offload a hoard of unwanted stars in their squad.With a winger likely to arrive this summer, Noni Madueke – who scored 11 last season – is said to be on the market.READ MORE ON CHELSEAChristopher Nkunku and Joao Felix – who spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan – are other attackers up for sale.Nkunku arrived from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52.7million in 2023 and scored 14 goals last season – but only three in the league. He had underwhelming stints up front while also failing to find form out wide or in an attacking midfield role. Bayern Munich inquired about the Frenchman in January while Manchester United have also been linked in the past. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFelix first joined Chelsea in 2023 on loan before later joining Barcelona only to move back to the Blues in a permanent £45m deal. But by February, he had fallen out of favour with Maresca and joined AC Milan on loan managing just three goals in 21 games. Chelsea finally discover Club World Cup opponents as former star, 38, assists dramatic winner to set up reunionA move back to Benfica – where Felix first made his name – or Flamengo in Brazil are potential options for the forward. Goalkeepers Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic could also be sold if the right bid comes in.Petrovic signed in 2023 but spent last season on loan at Strasbourg while Sanchez has spent two seasons at Chelsea after joining from Brighton for £30m. Maresca has continued to back Sanchez despite shaky form – but recent reports say the Spaniard’s future is up in the air. Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi are all due back from their respective loans but remain out of favour in defence.Meanwhile Wesley Fofana – signed for £70m from Leicester in 2022 – is also said to be at risk amid his injury struggles. Trevoh Chalobah was loaned out to Crystal Palace last summer after Chelsea failed to move him on permanently. Chalobah was later recalled in January and despite finishing the season in fine form, he could still be at risk of leaving.Noni Madueke and Trevoh Chalobah, pictured with Jadon Sancho, could be sold by ChelseaCredit: GettyGoalkeepers Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic could also be soldCredit: GettyKiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu are midfielders with uncertain futures.Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester for £30m last summer but has been reduced to mainly cup action in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.Chukwuemeka ended the campaign on loan at Borussia Dortmund while Ugochukwu is due to return after Southampton’s relegation.

      by

      JEREMIE FRIMPONG has completed his £29.5million move to Liverpool.The Bayer Leverkusen right-back, 24, touched down in the UK on Tuesday after the Premier League champions met his release clause.Jeremie Frimpong has officially joined Liverpool before the start of the windowThe 12-cap Dutch international becomes Arne Slot’s first summer signing, with his bargain fee a big role in the club’s decision to pursue him.His arrival coincides with the departure of long-serving full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid.Frimpong will compete with homegrown talent Conor Bradley, 21, for the right-back spot.He builds on the Dutch influence at Anfield, alongside captain Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLKop boss Slot, who took over from Jurgen Klopp and won the league title during his first season in charge, is also from the Netherlands.Speaking to the Reds’ website upon signing, Frimpong said: “It went quite easy. Liverpool came and said they had interest, and obviously for me it was a no-brainer.”For me, it was like, ‘Whatever you guys do, just get this done’, [speaking to] my agents: ‘Just get this done.’”Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all, my energy, my work-rate and hopefully we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”I’m just excited to be here.

My family wasn’t driving and it was far.”Man City was local, so it made more sense. It was 15 minutes on the bus.”Read More on The SunAfter failing to get onto Pep Guardiola’s radar at City, Frimpong joined Celtic and won the domestic Scottish treble during his first season north of the border.Liverpool are also interested in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, who is valued at £45m.
