All the talk is about the imminent sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City, but Chelsea have plenty in the works, and one of BlueCo\u2019s longest-serving players is about to leave for \u00a33m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Chelsea<\/a> announced their seventh permanent sale this summer in Liam Delap. While Ipswich have a 20% profit clause,<\/a> the Blues agreed a \u00a350m deal for the striker as Forest pay a club-record fee.<\/p>\n

Valentin Barco impressed tonight, but do Chelsea still need a new midfielder this summer? And if so, who?<\/h3>\n

Delap follows Marc Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Trevoh Chalobah, Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Omari Kellyman in being sold this summer. So far, Chelsea have raked in around \u00a3215m from player sales.<\/p>\n

That could increase very quickly. Fernandez\u2019s \u00a3120m move to Man City is done<\/a>, according to reports in Argentina, while Nicolas Jackson is close to joining Villa for \u00a365m. Now, a tenth possible sale is imminent.<\/p>\n

David Datro Fofana is finally leaving Chelsea permanently<\/h2>\n

Bought for \u00a310m in January 2023, six months after BlueCo had taken over the club, David Datro Fofana<\/a> is the player fans remember as the first example of the club\u2019s owners using amortisation in their favour.<\/p>\n

Fofana still has three years left on his Chelsea contract but finally, after five loan exits, Fofana is set for a permanent departure. He\u2019s spent time at Goztepe, Burnley, Fatih Karagumruk, Union and Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Now, according to Sacha Tavolieri<\/a>, 23-year-old Fofana is set to complete a \u00a33m move to Swiss outfit Servette. Chelsea will receive \u00a32.15m up front, and a further \u00a3850,000 in add-ons for the outcast striker.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid Fofana to Servette; We\u2019re there! Agreement in principle, a \u20ac2.5m transfer plus \u20ac1m in bonuses. Final details to iron out, expected tomorrow morning. Could travel Friday afternoon. 3-year contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea are closing in on \u00a3400m in sales \u2013 who else could go?<\/h2>\n

Jackson, Fernandez and Fofana are close to leaving the club. With \u00a3215m already secured, the three deals would see Chelsea reach a whopping \u00a3400m<\/a>. But more sales could take place in the coming days.<\/p>\n

John Obi Mikel believes Pedro Neto wants to leave Chelsea<\/a>, and his reaction to Reece James\u2019 criticism against Fulham was a sign he wants out. Alongside Neto, Malo Gusto continues to be linked with a move.<\/p>\n

Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu and Gaga Slonina could also be offloaded, and there are a few loan exits expected too. Mamadou Sarr underwent a medical at Sociedad on Thursday<\/a>. Plenty left to do for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s even before we consider incoming signings, too. Emi Martinez is set to join Chelsea from Aston Villa<\/a>, while the Blues will be expected to replace Fernandez once his move to Man City is confirmed.<\/p>\n
