At Stamford Bridge Clear Out: The Chelsea superstars who could be heading out this summer

Last weekend Chelsea put on another toothless display as they lost 2-0 at Tottenham, Chelsea find themselves in the midst of what has become a public Premier League nightmare.

Opening their Champions League knockout stage adventure with a 1-0 away loss to Borussia Dortmund on February 15, it's no secret that Graham Potter finds enormous pressure on his shoulders.

Knowing they need a small miracle if they are to clinch a crucial top-four spot this season, Chelsea face the real threat of missing out on European football altogether in May.

Failing to find any stability since the former Brighton boss's appointment in September, the declining Premier League giants have recorded just a pair of top-flight wins since October 16.

While the Stamford Bridge hierarchy may have once again broken the bank in the January transfer window as they extended their remarkable flurry under Todd Bohley, it's no secret that Chelsea are planning a major cleaning this summer.

Ahead of what looks set to be a crucial few months behind the scenes in west London, we've taken a look at some Chelsea superstars who have been linked with a 2023 move.

While Raheem Sterling may only have moved to west London last summer after ending his seven-year spell at Manchester City, the England ace has previously found himself linked with an almost immediate move from Stamford Bridge.

While the four-time Premier League winner could be seen as a key part of Chelsea's bid to clinch another top four finish this season, Sterling has struggled with injuries and failed to produce a regular run under Potter.

With just two Premier League starts since the Blues won a 2-0 win over Bournemouth on New Years Day, the former Liverpool starlet has also netted just four top-flight strikes in 18 appearances.

As it now looks like Chelsea need to reduce their bumper summer wage bill, it has been suggested in recent weeks that the 28-year-old could already be sacrificed by Potter when the window reopens.

While there may be ongoing speculation that Sterling may leave Stamford Bridge this summer, it appears that Mason Mount is also heading for the West London exit in 2023.

Although the local Chelsea superstar has become a fan favorite after coming through the ranks of the Blues youth team, Mount is yet to agree a contract extension and it looks like its long-term future is at a crossroads.

As it appears the two sides are close to agreeing a bumper new deal at Stamford Bridge, it has been suggested that some in west London have agreed to Mount moving out this summer.

Falling down Potter's pecking order from just one of Chelsea's last four appearances in all competitions, the 24-year-old will soon enter the final 12 months of his current deal.

Despite scoring just a trio of Premier League goals in his 23 appearances this season, The Metro reports that Manchester United and Liverpool are watching the talks over what could be a heavyweight move.

Although Christian Pulsic may have impressed many as the United reached the knockout stage of the Qatar World Cup last winter, the 24-year-old is living through a new nightmare at Stamford Bridge.

With a long-term knee injury as Chelsea suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City on January 1, he will soon enter the final 12 months of his current contract with SW6 and Potter's side are holding out now to cut their losses on a player who has scored just one top goal this season.

Although Pulisic has been able to show a glimpse of what he is capable of since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, the 24-year-old has endured a long list of injury problems.

However, despite only 20 Premier League goals since switching English four years ago, it looks like there will be no shortage of options for the American poster when the window reopens this summer.

Despite being linked with Manchester United for the past 12 months, Spanish outlet Marca reported on Monday that Real Madrid are...
