Todd Boehly to take action following Real Madrid pressure as £150m Chelsea transfer demand made
Chelsea fans are still waiting for their side to make their first signing of the summer transfer window with plenty of work to do ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Antonio Rudiger has already left to join Real Madrid while Andreas Christensen, Romelu Lukaku, Cesar Azpilicueta and Timo Werner could all join the German out the door. Todd Boehly has promised Thomas Tuchel a transfer kitty of £200 million for the summer, with an overhaul possible before the new campaign.
