Marina Granovskaia can secure £92.7m transfer windfall with decisions on four Chelsea players


Chelsea will certainly be hoping to harness the shrewd negotiating powers that they harnessed in the summer during the January transfer window.

The Blues made a number of sales ahead of the 2021/22 season, handing them a considerable cash boost.

Marina Granovskaia managed to accumulate over £100million worth of sales throughout the window, with the likes of Kurt Zouma, Marc Guehi, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori all being sold for considerable fees.

That cash certainly came in handy as Chelsea sealed the club record return of Romelu Lukaku.

With the winter window now just around the corner, the Blues will once again be aiming to raise some funds and football.london has taken a look at how much they could demand for those players linked with a move away.

Kepa Arrizabalaga – £11.7m

Despite having been signed for £72m from Athletic Club more than three years ago, it now seems highly unlikely that the Blues will be able to earn anywhere near that amount.

The Spanish international is valued at just £11.7m by transfermarkt having fallen down the Stamford Bridge pecking order since the arrival of Edouard Mendy. It is a dramatic drop from his peak of £54million.

With three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract however, he still retains some value and has been linked with a reunion with Maurizio Sarri at Lazio.

Antonio Rudiger – £31.5m

One of the more controversial ones, the German defender has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid and even Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the January window.

He has just over six months remaining on his current Chelsea contract and would be able to leave for free come the end of the season.

The only way that the Blues could make money from the centre-back is by electing to sell him in January and as it stands, he is valued at £31.5million.

Ross Barkley – £15.3m

Having returned from a disappointing spell with Aston Villa, it appeared unlikely that Barkley had any sort of future at Stamford Bridge.

He failed to seal a move away though and has been handed rare opportunities by Thomas Tuchel. The current window seems key for the former Everton man with just a year-and-a-half on his deal.

He is valued at £15.3million amid reported interest from his former club, Newcastle United and Leeds.

Hakim Ziyech – £34.2m

The Moroccan has really struggled to hit the heights expected of him since his arrival from Ajax.

As a result, he has been linked with a January exit, with the likes of Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund interested in his services.

Ziyech is currently valued at £34.2million – a slight increase on the £33.3million that it took to take him to Stamford Bridge last summer.
