After winning the UEFA Conference League, and qualifying for next season’s Champions League, Chelsea are set for a huge summer transfer window.
The Blues are reportedly closing in on a deal for Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, and Enzo Maresca is in no mood to rest on his laurels, with plans for a complete overhaul of his squad in the hope of mounting a title challenge next season.
Chelsea are eyeing a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens as they are looking for a right-footed player who can operate from the left side.
Additionally, the Blues have also been linked with a move for Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
The West London giants will also offload a host of fringe players to finance their new signings and The Guardian have highlighted Madueke as an eye-catching exit option.
Madueke could join up to 13 other players moving on this summer with the full list featuring: Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, Robert Sanchez, Djordje Petrovic, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Wesley Fofana, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, Raheem Sterling, Trevoh Chalobah and Lesley Ugochukwu.

Madueke has been utilised regularly by Maresca this season, as part of a changing attack, but there is a sense of Chelsea needing an upgrade if they want to make an impact on the Champions League.
With a contract until 2030, Chelsea will have to move carefully in the market as the player is under no pressure to leave, and his current transfer value is set at around £35m [$47m].
