Chelsea Open to Selling Three Centre-Backs This Summer

Chelsea are preparing for a reshuffle at the heart of their defence, with the club willing to listen to offers for Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah once the summer transfer window opens, according to a TEAMtalk report.

Although the Premier League campaign has yet to reach its conclusion, planning is already under way at Stamford Bridge. Club officials are identifying positions to strengthen and determining which squad members could be moved on to free up space and funds.

Central defence is a priority area. Despite recalling Mamadou Sarr from his loan at Strasbourg in January, Chelsea remain in the market for another centre-back and have earmarked Nottingham Forest’s Murillo as a leading target. The Blues, along with Liverpool, have reportedly done the most groundwork on the Brazilian.

The potential arrival of Murillo appears closely linked to the futures of Adarabioyo, Badiashile and Chalobah. The report states that Chelsea will consider bids for all three, accelerating the push for fresh reinforcements.

Sarr made his domestic debut for the club on Friday night and faces a brief window to impress before decisions are finalised. With the summer window approaching, the club could also explore a move for Elliot Anderson, though any deal for the Newcastle United midfielder would require a significant fee.

Chelsea, then, are bracing for a busy off-season, with defensive departures likely to fund incoming business.
