  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The club have already finalised an exit for Diego Moreira – who joined them as a free agent last season – for £1.7million (€1.9m/$2.1m) to sister club Strasbourg. They are also close to finalising moves for players like Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja, David Datro Fofa, Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casadei, Bashir Humphreys and Raheem Sterling who have all been deemed surplus to Enzo Maresca's needs.

  The Blues are also close to selling Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid, however, the move could now collapse at the last moment after Samu Omorodion's move to Stamford Bridge failed.
