Boehly has recently taken in a trip to Saudi Arabia where he took time out to meet with Emenalo, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13187421/Chelsea-look-offload-players-Saudi-Arabia-summer-Todd-Boehly-holds-meeting-Saudi-Pro-League-director-football-Michael-Emenalo.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. The meeting comes amid speculation <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-trouble-blues-warned-huge-points-deduction-worse-everton-breaking-ffp-unless-sell-100m-talent/blt33a9bd216f7cd50b#csfb85c07f0ed9db80" target="_blank">Chelsea must sanction £100 million ($128m) worth of player sales this summer</a> to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. Chelsea offloaded a number of players to the Saudi Pro League last summer, waving goodbye to Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and N'Golo Kante.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Blues have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/points-deduction-looming-chelsea-blues-huge-90m-loss-doubts-ffp-psr-rules/bltfd82727aa93af8a3#cs0957606a49e120ba" target="_blank">already announced losses of £90.1m ($115m) in the 12-month period</a> up to June 30, 2023 after spending heavily since Boehly arrived at the club. A summer clearout therefore looks increasingly likely in a bid to avoid sanctions for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play rules and to trim a bloated squad. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-stance-selling-conor-gallagher-tottenham-retain-interested-blues-midfielder/blteaedcb7510c66c98#cs3a4bd2e3f79e5dcb" target="_blank">Conor Gallagher has been linked with an exit</a>, as he could bring a healthy profit as an academy graduate, while loanees such as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-rivals-premier-league-clubs-blues-transfer-resolve-mauricio-pochettino/blt0b06178a908a0893#csb9c692903e5f9e16" target="_blank">Romelu Lukaku, Lewis Hall, Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, and Trevoh Chalobah</a> may all move on.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The club's record signing is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/moises-caicedo-chelsea-confirm-gbp115m-signing-midfielder-brighton/blt29e83387bde96d7c" target="_blank">midfielder Moises Caicedo</a> who signed for £115m ($146m) from Brighton in August 2023.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chelsea have endured a miserable campaign on the pitch so far under Mauricio Pochettino, despite the huge investment in the squad, but can take a major step towards a trophy on Saturday when they take on Leicester in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge.
