Chelsea’s summer transfer window confirmed 39 player departures across permanent deals, loans, releases, and free transfers.
The exodus was driven by new head coach Xabi Alonso’s mandate to slim down an oversized roster he inherited upon arrival at Stamford Bridge.
The big names heading for the door
Enzo Fernandez, the Argentine midfielder Chelsea signed for a then-British-record fee, completed a move to Manchester City for £125 million. Marc Cucurella headed to Real Madrid for approximately £52 million. Nicolas Jackson departed to Aston Villa in a deal valued at around £65 million.
The total revenue generated from outgoing business is estimated between £300 million and upwards of £460 million when factoring in add-ons and loan fees.
