Chelsea are reportedly looking to offload 12 players in the current transfer window in order to lower the wage bill.

The Blues have been busy in the off-season so far, having already six signings for new coach Enzo Maresca.

However, the club now need to trim the squad down before the Premier League campaign begins.

The Blues have already confirmed that defender Malang Sarr's contract with the club has been terminated, with the player now becoming a free agent.

The Mirror have reported that Chelsea are now aiming to lower the wage bill by offloading players not in the manager's plans, as Sarr was earning  £100,000-per-week.

Some of the bigger names that are expected to be moved on include Romelu Lukaku, who is reportedly set to reunite with former Blues coach Antonio Conte at Napoli while goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is also set for a departure.

The report adds that Trevoh Chalobah, Djordge Petrovic, Ben Chilwell and Conor Gallagher are also on the list of players who could leave.

Chalobah along with David Datro Fofana, Cesare Casadei, Alfie Gilchrist and Andrey Santos have not been included in Chelsea's pre-season squad of the United States and have all been linked with departures in the coming weeks.

It is expected to be a busy few weeks at Stamford Bridge for both incoming and outgoings, as the Blues are reportedly still keen on bolstering in certain departments.
