Upon his arrival at Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino understood the need to carry out a major reorganization of the workforce within the English club. And these are 12 players who are affected by this operation, which begins this Wednesday, the opening day of the summer transfer window in England.
In the 2022/2023 season which has just ended, Chelsea had a total of 32 players in their squad. A group far too numerous in comparison with Manchester City (26) or Liverpool (29). In order to simplify things, Pochettino will reduce the workforce. And the first on the transfer list, according to information from Relevo which confirms the revelations of the Daily Mail, is Kalidou Koulibaly. Arrived from Naples, the Senegalese defender, once feared in Italy, failed to win for the Blues in his first season and should not have the opportunity to prove his real value in a second season .

His compatriot Edouard Mendy, who was handicapped by a finger injury as well as unconvincing performances, is also on the starting list. Mateo Kovacic, close to joining Manchester City, Mason Mount, announced for the Manchester United side, Kai Havertz, courted by Real Madrid, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Conor Gallagher, Nathan Baxter and Ian Maatsen are the ten other players that Mauricio Pochettino does not intend to keep.
To the great surprise, the tabloid indicates that the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain would like to keep Romelu Lukaku. However, the player, who has recently been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, is likely to opt to leave rather than try a third chance with Chelsea, where he has never managed to establish himself on a lasting basis.
