Chelsea began a new era under the Todd Boehly consortium’s ownership, as the club has undergone several major changes since the takeover, starting with the club board, top staff members of the club, and high-profile additions to the roster.
Chelsea was the biggest spender during the previous summer’s transfer window, and it appears that they will continue in that vein during the current January transfer window as well. They have already signed major players David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos, and they are in advanced negotiations to sign Benoit Badiashile from Monaco.
With so many new additions, it is clear that the team may be making some player changes this summer.

We shall thus examine the three players in this piece who may already be in their final campaign with the team.
1. Ruben Loftus-Cheek
High expectations were placed on Loftus-Cheek, a recent graduate of the Chelsea academy, to go on to become one of the best midfielders in the game. However, he hasn’t lived up to those expectations at the club thus far.
Chelsea could look to cash out on the 25 years old midfielder this summer, as they look to revitalize their midfield options.
2. Jorginho
The Italian international appears to be a key player for Chelsea under Graham Potter and has played in most of the team’s matches, but the midfield for Chelsea appears to be one of the team’s weaker positions, and they appear to be trying to strengthen it by adding new players like Enzo Fernandez.
Jorginho is now in the final year of his contract; if the team does not extend his deal, he will become a free agent in the summer.
Although there have been media reports of a new contract, the Italian’s time at Chelsea may be coming to an end this year in order to make place for a better midfield alternative starting the next year.
3. Ngolo Kante
It appears likely that one of the greatest midfielders in history will leave Chelsea this season. His repeated injuries haven’t helped matters, and Chelsea may decide to let him leave on a free transfer this summer after his contract expires.
Ngolo Kante may receive a new contract offer from Chelsea before the summer is up, but his enormous salary and ongoing injury issues may prove to be major obstacles.
