Todd Boehly’s meeting with Michael Emenalo, director of football from Saudi Pro league shows that Chelsea players could be sold to Saudi clubs in the upcoming summer window. Mauricio Pochettino, at the moment, has seen his side placed in the middle of the Premier League table, having gone through an uninspired campaign. The previous summer was mega-spenders first in the nation, with the club selling their three players to the Saudi Pro League.
On a seven-year long spell at Stamford Bridge, an iconic player N’Golo Kante moved on to join Al-Ittihad. Also, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy followed the route to Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli, respectively.
The Blues may again go through extensive changes to the playing squad by the time the next season starts. This may mean a changed approach to the signing of new players, something that may have been influenced by Boehly’s discussions with Emenalo. The meeting hints at the possibility that Chelsea’s top management might be out to find newer financial channels to remodel the whole team.

What is the current situation about this buzz at Chelsea?
Mauricio Pochettino’s reign at Chelsea has not been a smooth run as they have experienced highs and lows in their EPL performances. Such uncertainty might make the club think about restructuring the squad to eliminate their weak points and get the highest competitiveness possible. Chelsea could transfer their players to the Saudi Pro League, which could give the club an outlet for surplus players and help generate huge fees in the transfer markets.
The previous summer was a period of departure as the team decided to let go of its key players, a clear sign they were ready even to adapt the changing conditions on the market. The exit of Kante signaled the departure from the past for the club, and the courage to make changes in pursuit of their long-term goals.
Considering the circumstances, there has been a lot of speculations about how the future looks for the Blues. Todd Boehly has been determined that he will be making a few changes in the next transfer window too. The scouts of the club are already visiting different stadiums to have a keen look on the targeted players. It is to be seen how the transfer strategy of Chelsea falls in place.
