If there is one thing that can be said for Chelsea since the new ownership came in, they have been very successful in recouping transfer fees.

Even in an era where it has been clear they have needed to sell, they have been able to get big fees for players who seem to have no future at Stamford Bridge.

This could well be the case for Armando Broja, with the Blues potentially receiving £30m if his loan move to Ipswich is made permanent.

With a bloated squad, there are a number of players who are out of the picture who they are looking to move on.

One of those is Bashir Humphreys, who has only racked up two appearances in all competitions for the Blues since coming through the academy.

Chelsea to recieve £15m for Bashir Humphreys

He looks set for a permanent move to the Championship, with a fee being agreed with Burnley for him to depart.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea are set to receive up to £15m for his services if the add ons are recieved.

He said: “Burnley and Chelsea have signed all documents for Bashir Humphreys deal. Exclusive details of the deal: £12m fixed fee, £2.7m add-ons and there will be also undisclosed sell-on clause. Humphreys, new Burnley player. Here we go and story confirmed.”

Humphreys may not be the only centre-back who departs Stamford Bridge this summer, with rumours continuing to state that their could be more sales to come this month.

Axel Disasi rumoured to leave

Trevoh Chalobah was left off the pre-season tour in an attempt to accelerate his move away from the club.

Another player who has been recently linked with an exit this summer is Axel Disasi, with Newcastle expressing an interest in signing him.

The Frenchman was not in the matchday squad for the first game of the season against Manchester City, and his future remains unclear.
