Several fringe figures are already being linked with exits, including Filip Jorgensen, Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Benoît Badiashile. Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto have also caught the attention of Manchester City, who are said to be monitoring both. Enzo Fernández's situation is equally unsettled, with City keeping tabs on the Argentine midfielder—particularly if Rodri departs for Barcelona.

Elsewhere, Dário Essugo could be loaned out for regular first-team football, while Mykhailo Mudryk—now cleared to return to competitive action—has emerged as a target for Coventry City. Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson are also names that could feature in the outbound column. What seems certain is that by September 1, Chelsea's dressing room will look noticeably emptier.
