Chelsea have confirmed that four players will leave the club when their current contracts expire on 30 June 2026.

The club disclosed this in a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, following the release of its retained and released list at the end of the 2025/26 season.

According to the statement, “Defender Brodi Hughes leaves the Blues after 13 years in our Academy.”

Hughes joined Chelsea as an Under-8 and progressed through the ranks at Cobham, spending the previous season on loan at League One side AFC Wimbledon.

“Richard Olise also moves on after a decade with the club,” the statement added.
