Chelsea are looking to trim their squad in the final hours of the January 2024 transfer window.
The Blues spent a whopping £600million across two transfer windows last year, but their ridiculous spending has slowed down.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has still been urging Todd Boehly to keep his chequebook out after a difficult season.
However, the west Londoners are looking at outgoings rather than incomings ahead of what should be a busy summer.
Armando Broja
talkSPORT understands that Chelsea are willing to allow striker Armando Broja to leave the club on loan today.
However, they want a loan fee of £5million, plus an obligation to buy.
The Blues were initially looking for £50m to sell the academy graduate, but with time running out, they have lowered their demands.
Fulham are leading the race for Broja's signature, with the Cottagers desperate for a striker.
Wolves were also interested but have dropped out of the race, but with Chelsea's demands now reduced, other Premier League clubs could come in for the Albanian international.

Conor Gallagher
Conor Gallagher is unlikely to leave Chelsea in the final stages of the transfer window.
talkSPORT understands that the England international is now expected to see out the remainder of the season at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham are huge admirers of Gallagher, with Ange Postecoglou believing he would be the perfect addition to his side.
But Spurs are refusing to reach Chelsea's asking price of £50m, which means Gallagher is staying.
The reason the Blues are willing to sell Gallagher is because he's an academy product and would generate £50m of pure profit.
However, given his importance to Pochettino, it was a move that didn't make much sense.

Andrey Santos
Another player almost certainly heading out of the door in the last few hours of the transfer window is Andrey Santos.
The Brazilian was recalled from a season-long loan at Nottingham Forest earlier this month after making just one league appearance.
Santos is currently away with the Brazilian Olympics team but looks set for another temporary switch.
The 19-year-old looks to be heading to Strasbourg, according to the Evening Standard.
The French side are one of Chelsea's sister-teams because they are owned by Todd Boehly and co, and Santos would be the second Chelsea player to join Strasbourg since Boehly acquired the club.
Angelo Gabriel is a regular with the Ligue 1 side and Chelsea will hope Santos can replicate Gabriel's achievements.
