Chelsea will face Ipswich Town on Monday night (10.45 pm) in one of the last Premier League games in 2024, as everyone expect Enzo Maresca’s side to celebrate a landslide victory against the EPL strugglers.However, it’s something else that has attracted the most attention at Stamford Bridge these days, and it’s not the Ipswich tie.##NAJAVA_MECA_8598396##The Blues made it clear that they are interested in offloading a handful of players in the upcoming January Transfer Window. Manager Enzo Maresca admitted that Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Harvey Vale are free to leave on permanent deals, while loans (but also permanent deals) could be an option for Cesare Casadei and Alex Matos.If no one meets Chukwuemeka’s full £40 million release clause, he could also be sent out on loan instead. Casadei is much closer to loan, as Feyenoord and Monza are both interested in the 21-year-old Italian midfielder. 🚨 Chelsea are willing to sell Carney Chukwuemeka for €48M.(Source: BBC) pic.twitter.com/FOiisLvx7p— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) December 30, 2024 Vale rejected a move to Al-Ettifaq a few months ago, and his spectacular performances for Chelsea’s U-21s – where he has reached nine goals and nine assists in 15 games) – have attracted the attention of various clubs.Last but not least, the most renowned name on this list is definitely Chilwell, and apparently, Chelsea are desperate to sell him after having failed to do so in the previous transfer window.Same old Chilwell, always injuredHe joined the club in a £50 million move from Leicester in 2020, but for quite some time, he’s been out of the squad.Chilwell has made just a single appearance this season, dropping down in the pecking order on the left back to Marc Cucurella, Malo Gusto and Renato Veiga. He still has two and a half years left on his £200,000-a-week contract. It’s such a demanding figures, and it’s almost surreal to expect anyone would have enough money to buy him in the January Transfer Window.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 19Sunday Leicester – Man.City 0-2 (0-1)/Savinho 21, Haaland 74/Crystal Palace – Southampton 2-1 (1-1)/Chalobah 31, Eze 52 – Dibling 15/Everton – Nott.Forest 0-2 (0-1)/Wood 15, Gibbs-White 61/Fulham – Bournemouth 2-2 (1-0)/Jimenez 40, Wilson 72 – Evanilson 51, Outtara 89/Tottenham – Wolverhampton 2-2 (2-1)/Bentancur 12, Johnson 45+3 – Hwang 7, Larsen 87/West Ham – Liverpool 0-5 (0-3)/Diaz 30, Gakpo 40, Salah 44, Alexander-Arnold 54, Jota 84/Monday 22.45: (2.00) Aston Villa (3.50) Brighton (3.70)22.45: (7.25) Ipswich (4.60) Chelsea (1.43)23.00: (2.70) Man.Utd.
