Chelsea are starting to have some success with offloading their unwanted players ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
Kepa Arrizabalaga will depart Chelsea for Bournemouth, for example, though that will only be a loan deal.
The goalkeeper has no future in west London, with Enzo Maresca currently having four goalkeepers in his senior squad.
Romelu Lukaku is also set to follow Kepa out of the exit door. The striker is closing in on a move to Napoli and reunion with Antonio Conte.
Romelu Lukaku set for Napoli medical
Lukaku has been linked with a switch to Napoli all summer, and it looks like he is finally going to get his transfer to the Italian club.
According to a report from Gianlucadimarzio.com, Lukaku should have his medical at Napoli on Wednesday.
The same website claims that Napoli have agreed to pay Chelsea €30m (£25m) for the Belgian’s signature, meaning that the Blues are about to make a heavy loss.
However, given the amount of money that he is currently earning at Stamford Bridge, they will just be happy to get him off their books. Lukaku has turned down Aston Villa in order to reunite with Conte in Naples.
Romelu Lukaku will go down as one of Chelsea’s worst-ever signings
A lot was obviously expected of Lukaku when Chelsea re-signed him from Inter Milan back in 2021.
The 31-year-old arrived in west London as one of the best centre-forwards in the world and cost the Blues almost £100m.
However, he was never settled at the club, going on to join Inter again on loan before signing for AS Roma in another temporary deal.
Chelsea fans will be glad to see the back of Lukaku, who angered them with his infamous interview, which came pretty early into his second spell at the club.
As well as Lukaku and Kepa, Ben Chilwell could also be heading for the exit door. Chelsea could let Chilwell depart in a £25m deal before the transfer market shuts.
