Todd Boehly sent stark Chelsea warning against Mauricio Pochettino triple transfer

Chelsea will see a host of players leave the club this summer, with them expected to offload ten-plus players in order to balance the books after Todd Boehly's £600million spending.

Despite the transfer window not opening until next week, a number of players have been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be greeted with an exodus of players when he officially takes over on July 1 as part of his rebuilding project.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are all players looking to end their difficult time in London. However, alongside the list of international stars on Chelsea's transfer list, there are a number of Cobham graduates who have fallen out of favour.

Mason Mount was the subject of a £50million bid from Manchester United recently amid growing uncertainty over his future at the club. The 24-year-old's deal expires in 2024 and there has been disagreement over the structure of a new and improved contract. football.london understands there has not been one offer made to Mount since the end of January, a 12-month extension he rejected.

The midfielder's situation isn't the only complex one at the club. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has looked almost certain to leave the club this summer and is close to joining AC Milan, football.london understands. Talks between the two clubs have been progressing well in recent weeks for the 27-year-old.

However, Milan's recent turnaround of the hierarchy has postponed further meetings between the Italian outfit and Chelsea midfielder. Loftus-Cheek, who has been at the club since the age of eight, has found opportunities difficult to come by in recent seasons and will end his lengthy association with the club.

The final academy graduate who looks likely to leave the club is defender Trevoh Chalobah. After previously drawing interest from Roma, RB Leipzig, Tottenham and Aston Villa, football.london understands that Inter Milan remain interested in the 24-year-old this summer.

The returns of Levi Colwill and Malo Gusto from their loans mean Chalobah could find himself further down Pochettino's pecking order next season. A £25million move to the Champions League finalists seems likely as ever heading into the transfer window.

All three Cobham graduates have once been key players at Chelsea in recent years, but now look to play out the rest of their careers away from S6. However, talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has warned the club against selling players who have a relationship with the club.

"I don't care if it's Chelsea or what team you are, it's important to have players that have a relationship with the club. It's not the be all and end all, but it's important to have that," he said on Wednesday morning.

"I wouldn't be letting Mason Mount go on ability, that's first and foremost. And I certainly wouldn't be letting him go in the respect of what he means to the supporters and how he feels to the club."
