Chelsea are headed for what could be a very busy transfer window this summer as they consider players to cash in on to raise funds for their own spending.
As we enter the final months of the 2023/24 season, the Blues have been linked to a number of potential new recruits all across the board. A new goalkeeper, defender and forward options have been mentioned as the likes of Conor Gallagher and Marc Cucurella garner interest from rivals.
Factoring in some of the latest transfer rumours, we have put together a predicted Chelsea starting XI for next season. Each player has been listed along with his transfer fee, release clause or Transfermarkt value.
1. GK: Aaron Ramsdale
A recent report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Chelsea are leading the race for the signature of Ramsdale, who would cost a reported £60 million
2. RB: Reece James
The Blues have been missing the influence of James and will welcome his return from injury. He is currently valued by Transfermarkt at £43 million
3. CB: Ousmane Diomande
Recent reports in Portugal have heavily linked Chelsea to defender Diomande and they have apparently moved to the front of the queue to snag his signature. The 20-year-old has a release clause of £69 million
4. CB: Levi Colwill
Amid heavy interest from their rivals, Chelsea have made it clear that Colwill is not for sale. He is currently valued at £47 million
