Even Chelsea’s spending seems to have a ceiling. Despite another new arrival this summer, Bruce is hoping to sign two more big names as he pursues Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho.
However, the club boss appears reluctant to meet the demand rates of both forward stars. RB Leipzig reportedly wants Simons about £60 million. Meanwhile, Manchester United are on the £50 million stands for Garnacho, and Chelsea now needs to raise more transfer funds to seal both deals.
According to the Sun, seven famous stars are still in Stamford Bridge books and are available for sale. However, no suitors are taking place anytime soon, and the club faces players who have lost more than £14 million between now and January and will not appear.
Raheem Sterling
Despite reports of interest from West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace, the fall from Grace, a 30-year-old former England International, continues. Incredibly, he is Chelsea’s best winner, earning at £325,000 a week, and is set to earn over £5.5 million each weekend from the end of the week.
Christopher Nucank
Currently, while sitting on a long-term contract and wage of £195,000 each week, I have surplus requirements. Rumors of a move to Manchester United have been flat for a long time, and although he is unlikely to add a goal bonus to his wind drop, the striker is able to take more than £3.3 million from the club while lifting his legs.
Ben Chilwell
Not pushing Crystal Palace’s loan move to permanent last season was just as bad as the left-back himself. Despite linking with Leeds, Chilwell’s recent injury record and weekly wages mean that Chelsea struggles to win the 2021 Champions League winner from the book.
Nicholas Jackson
With the same money as Chilwell, but now it is available for very different reasons following the signatures of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. At 24, it certainly represents someone’s worth, but it appears to be in the surplus at Chelsea in the second half of the transfer window, but most of the top clubs have sorted out the striker’s signatures.
It appears to be training alone, like in Newcastle or until January.
Kearney Chuk Emeka
All of his league appearances in 2024/25 appeared in the Bundesliga, which was loaned out at Borussia Dortmund. At just 21 years old, he struggles to find another club to suit his £50,000 weekly wage, given that he has not been proven. Unless he lowers his financial expectations, he will mess with his thumb in four months.
Axel Disassi
He only played 13 times in the Premier League last season, but he rarely placed him in the shop window when seven of those appearances were rented out at Aston Villa. Bournemouth and the Wolves are linked to French defenders, who earn £40,000 a week because they barely play.
David Datro Fofana
22-year-old Ivorian Forward has already won three loan spells elsewhere. Unless he negotiates with the fourth one, he will cost his club £30,000 a week while training away from Cobham’s first team.
