Chelsea has already earned €22.2 million from player sales this summer. However, the club must sell more players to meet the requirements of UEFA's financial rules. Recently, Chelsea was fined up to £78.5 million for failing to comply with these rules.

The club has signed several new players, including Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, and Liam Delap, in a summer spending spree that has cost hundreds of millions. To register these new players, Chelsea may need to sell some of its existing players and raise more than £60 million through player sales.

According to reports, Chelsea is considering selling at least 14 players from manager Enzo Maresca's squad, which is too large to operate effectively. Some of the players who may be leaving the club include Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Lesley Ugochukwu. Others on the transfer list include Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku, and goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, who recently underwent a medical at Bournemouth.

Chelsea's decision to sell some of its players is a necessary step to ensure the club's compliance with UEFA's financial rules and to make room for new signings. The exact number of players to be sold and the identities of those who will be leaving the club are yet to be determined.
