The club has released the list of 82 players that have been retained and retained to be part of Chelsea in the upcoming season which shows the fact that the management of this club’s desire to be equipped with a strong and competitive team.
This large list can explain the logic of adapting both experienced and promising players, ensuring Chelsea constructs a strong team of relative contenders for future tournaments.
Among the players that stayed, several of the returning loanees will have the opportunity to reoccupy their spots in the crew and, through their experiences gained on their respective loans, give fresh insights to the team.
Players like Kepa Arrizabalaga indeed had a season to make a statement and stand as a reliable goalkeeper.
New talents such as Lewis Hall and Ian Maatsen have also returned after getting first-team experience with other clubs to further develop themselves and then help Chelsea meet its objectives as well.
Some of the future potentials like Omari Hutchinson and Romelu Lukaku are also back in the team.
Such versatile and promising player as Hutchinson will surely be a good reinforcement to the team, and the return of Lukaku will definitely helpful to strengthen the attack line of the team.
These players and many other players reflect Chelsea’s ability to develop young talents while having a nucleolus of experienced talents.
The fact that the club decided to keep so many players points to a contingency plan well-conceived to have a versatile team regardless of the positions available on the field.

Besides these retentions, there is still bad news for Chelsea; the club has let three players go.
The most luminous name among the names leaving the club is Thiago Silva.
The experienced defender of the team has been vital to Chelsea’s defence line and has qualities such as leadership, skill and experience needed to support the team.
Silva’s departure is arguably one of the biggest losses for the club and seeing him play will definitely not be the same for both supporters and his colleagues.
His exit also brings some uncertainty to Chelsea’s defense since such a talented person brings about new paths that other youthful talents can be encouraged to develop to fill the gap left by such a talented star.
