Chelsea are making a return back to the Champions League next season and the Premier League champions are set to splash the cash. And for that to be done, few ‘old legs’ (including Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa) are expected to leave to make room for the new legs.
Chelsea stormed the Premier League this just concluded season and became the best side in the English top flight in Antonio Conte’s first season at the club. However, the former Juventus manager wants to keep his Chelsea squad fresh.
The Sun are reporting that some of the players who won the Premier League title this just concluded season are about to be axed so the players won’t become complacent.
It is understood that Fabregas and Costa will be asked to leave for some other new guys to come in.
Cesc has struggled continuously for regular playing time since the arrival of Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge and he is said to be displeased for being benched against the Gunners in the FA Cup final.
Diego Costa is expected to move to the Chinese Super League or make a return back to his former Spanish club Atletico Madrid this summer.
The Sun made mention of Romelu Lukaku, Dani Alves, and Marco Verratti as the players Conte is bringing in this summer.
