Chelsea are looking for bids in the region of £40 million to part ways with the out-of-favour striker Tammy Abraham this summer as the England international sits way down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
A report from The Telegraph claims that the west London giants are seeking a high price tag in order to justify Abraham’s long-term deal at the club which runs until the summer of 2023.
Thomas Tuchel’s shopping plans for the summer window
Borussia Dortmund talisman Erling Haaland remains Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’s priority singing in this summer’s transfer window with the German coach keen on bringing the Norway international to the Bridge ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Besides Haaland, another name tipped to be Chelsea’s transfer radar is a former Blue Romelu Lukaku who has enjoyed a brilliant spell in front of the goal for Inter Milan since moving to Serie A football from Manchester United two years back.
Abraham’s sale could finance Tuchel’s transfer endeavours
Neither Haaland nor Lukaku would be available on a cut-price deal this summer with both players being monitored by a host of European heavyweights meaning that the Blues face a major problem on the transfer front should they fail to cough up the required finances.
In such a case Abraham’s sale would enable Tuchel to go about his usual business in bringing in big-name targets and renewing Chelsea’s title-winning credentials heading into next season.
