Chelsea are set to continue their rather extraordinary business this summer with the sale of one star who has never made a competitive appearance for the club.
Ever since Todd Boehly acquired Chelsea back in 2022 the club have been far and away the most active Premier League club in the transfer market.
Over the summer Chelsea signed eleven first-team players as they added Joao Felix, Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto, Marc Guiu, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to their already stacked attacking options.
Despite their new recruits, it hasn't been the ideal start to the season for Enzo Maresca with Chelsea earning four points out of nine so far in the Premier League.

Although things on the pitch haven't been perfect, things off it appear to be going a lot better as according to Brazilian outlet UOL, Chelsea have agreed to sell one of their many unused players for a significant profit.
The report claims that Al-Nassr have agreed a £19.3m deal for 19-year-old Brazilian winger Angelo Gabriel who is yet to make an appearance for the club other than in pre-season.
Despite the transfer window slamming shut in England on Friday, Angelo could still leave Stamford Bridge with immediate effect as the Saudi window remains open until Monday night.
Chelsea only signed Angelo from Santos last summer for £12.6 million, and the winger spent the season on loan at their sister club, Strasbourg.
Angelo made 21 appearances for the French side last season, providing three assists but failing to score.
The winger would join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane at the Saudi Pro League club who currently sit fifth in the division after an unbeaten start to the new season.
Despite significant activity during the summer of 2023 the Saudi clubs appear to have cooled down in terms of major spending with Victor Osimhen looking to be on his way to Turkey despite major interest from Al Ahli.
