Chelsea will lose FIVE players in summer including Rudiger and Azpilicueta after ban on new contracts
March 10, 2022CHELSEA are set to lose several big stars this summer after Roman Abramovich had his assets FROZEN.
Defenders Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen each have contracts that are set to expire in the summer.
But The Blues will not be able to keep them at Stamford Bridge since they are BANNED from all transfer related activity, including new contracts, report The Times.
Charly Musonda Jr will also depart at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The same applies to loanee Saul Niguez, with Chelsea no longer able to activate the option to buy clause they have for the midfielder.
It is a big blow for the club, with merchandise and ticket sales also restricted as a result of the development.
Chelsea will be granted a special licence to continue playing but Abramovich will be deprived of any profits.
That means the game against Norwich at Carrow Road this evening WILL go ahead.
