Todd Boehly 'offers' two Chelsea stars to Saudi Pro League amid huge losses

Chelsea are said to be lining up a number of sales ahead of this summer as they look to balance the books following a period of huge spending. The Blues' accounts show a loss of a whopping £90million, and that is not likely to be good news as far as Financial Fair Play is concerned.

While the big FFP picture is more complex than straight up losses, clubs are only allowed adjustable losses of £105million every three years on a rolling basis. However you slice it, Chelsea need to bring in cash this summer, and it seems partial owner Todd Boehly already has a plan to do so.

According to TalkSport, Boehly has already spoken with Saudi Pro League chief Michael Emenalo to see which players he can send to the Gulf for a pretty penny or two this summer. Reportedly, among the players discussed is Romelu Lukaku, who spent just one full season back at Chelsea after returning on a £100million deal. The striker is currently back out on loan with AS Roma.

Chelsea are destined to take a big loss on Lukaku, but the Saudi Pro League clubs may be inclined to pay more than those closer to home. Also on the list, according to the report, is goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has spent this season on loan with Real Madrid.

Chelsea spent £72million on the goalkeeper, but again, they are likely to take a big loss on the goalkeeper. Real Madrid are not likely to pay a big fee to keep him given they have Thibaut Courtois to come back from injury. The report claims Chelsea want to generate as much as £100million in sales this summer as they look to balance out their wild spending during Boehly's reign so far. Though, Lukaku and Kepa are very unlikely to generate that much alone, meaning more sales are likely.
