CHELSEA are set to sell EIGHT players this summer in a massive clearout.
The Blues need to balance the books after reporting losses of £121.3m for 2021-22 and £274m across the last two campaigns.
Incredibly, those figures do not take into account the West Londoners splashing out more than £600million on players this season.
Chelsea also look set to miss out on European football next term with the club way down in 11th in the Premier League and needing to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.
That has prompted a Stamford Bridge panic with pressure mounting on new owner Todd Boehly to cut the losses or risk Financial Fair Play sanctions.
Now the Mirror state eight players are on the chopping block ahead of the transfer window reopening at the end of the season.

That includes midfield stars Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic and out-of-contract N'Golo Kante who would leave for free.
Academy graduates Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also named as part of the culling.
Forwards Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could all be axed, too.
