Chelsea silently removed 9 players from their official website, despite all of them still on the club payroll.
In recent years, no one is strange that Chelsea operates in the transfer market, recruiting players from around the world with huge amounts of money.
Despite coach Enzo Maresca, he expressed his dissatisfaction about the size of the squad too big before his first season last summer, Chelsea continued to actively shop, bringing more contracts in the last few weeks.
On weekends, young defender Jorrel Hato became the latest name to join Stamford Bridge, bringing the total number of contracts over the past 4 years to 39. He moved from Ajax with an initial fee of £ 35.5 million, excluding surcharges.
However, to make room for this 19 -year -old and other rookies, Chelsea seemed to be ready to break up with a series of players when they were eliminated from the list of the first team on the club's official website.
After the recent update, the British striker Raheem Sterling is one of the players who no longer have records or images in Chelsea's first team category. The former star of Liverpool and Man City signed a 5 -year contract with Chelsea in July 2022 for £ 47.5 million.
However, everything was not smooth with the 30 -year -old, leading to his having to switch to Arsenal on the form of loan last season, after coach Maresca announced he would not use Sterling as a regular part of the main squad.
Ben Chilwell – who was also loaned last season – was another name that was “wiped out” from the first team list. Striker Armando Broja and midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, two players who are expected to switch to Burnley this summer, no longer appears on the website, along with the young talent grown from the Academy, Alfie Gilchrist.
In fact, in addition to Broja and Gilchrist, the remaining 7 names were removed from Chelsea's website, a total of more than 200 million transfer tables. The remaining names are absent, including: Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Renato Veiga and David Datro Fofana.
It is worth noting that the winger Mykhailo Mudryk – who is facing the risk of being banned for up to 4 years due to the accused of violating the anti -doping law from the British Football Federation – still on the official website of Chelsea, with the representative picture of the previous season.
