Ever since Chelsea announced that Putjetino has taken over as the team leader, the Argentinean soccer wizard has been making drastic adjustments to the team's lineup. According to the British media, Chelsea may give up as many as 15 players, including midfielder Rolf Dostrok, who has reached an agreement with AC Milan, while rumors of Gowasi's transfer have intensified, with some claiming that he may join Manchester City.
According to the Daily Mail, Rolf Dostrok has only one year left on his contract with Che, and he is desperate to leave early. With Che's tacit approval, he was able to join Serie A giants AC Milan for a transfer fee of £21 million (HK$200 million). The 27-year-old youth player has played 33 matches for Che this season, but has failed to earn a single goal.
Wing forward Kirsten Plessis has also been rumored to join Serie A, with Juventus showing keen interest in him with the intention of replacing Di Maria, who may leave the club, with him. As for midfielder Ko Wah Sik, a move to Manchester City is highly likely, with ESPN reporting that Chelsea plan to sell him to City for £35 million (HK$340 million). And Chelsea's lack of willingness to buy out striker Zuofelix means he could return to the club.
Players such as Mason Monte, Sakarya, Edoardo Yavendi, Sheyji, Aubameyang and Nicolajandi are also on the list of departures. Pudjetino hopes that by streamlining the squad and bringing in new blood, they can lay the foundation for Chelsea's rebuilding path.
