Chelsea could make some cash if players aren’t signing new deals

Chelsea is expending a lot of money right now. After spending £250m in the season on new players for the first team, they are anticipated to be busy in January and again next season, signing more new players in the market.

Of course, Chelsea’s new owners are not perturbed about money, but there is also a prominence to be wise going forward. And telling of being wise, it might be just that to look at trying to get some money for players who are not registering new deals, if it is resolved that they will either not be expanding, or we don’t desire to extend them.

The Daily Mail has a report out today mentioning that Newcastle has our midfielder Jorginho as a prime target for January. Now I’m not saying necessarily to sell him to a rival, but we should certainly be considering selling any player whose contract is running out next summer or in 2024, if they have made it clear they don’t want to stay, or Chelsea has made it clear they won't be extending their deals.

If that is the 

outline, then why not attempt and get a bit of money for them? Jorginho won't command a huge fee in January, far from it. But every million helps.

We can change Jorginho in the winter window as part of a midfield

renovation across the next couple of windows, and this rebuild is needed. But I feel the same for any player, if it’s clear that they won't be extending, then we must move them on as soon as possible and ideally collect a

scrap of a rate for them, as much as

feasible, if that is a choice.

We need players now who are totally set on being at Chelsea for the future, in order to build that collaborative unit.
