However, there have been squad members who have not been presented with extended deals, some more surprising than not.

After a four-year spell at Chelsea that has led to Thiago Silva finally ending his wait for a Champions League crown, the 39-year-old will not sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge.

Instead, the legendary Brazil international will return to his homeland to represent Fluminense, one of his former clubs.

Which Chelsea players are out of contract next summer?

Conor Gallagher

Age: 24

Position: Midfielder

Transfer value: £42.5m

Joined: 2019

Joining fee: Academy graduate

Chelsea appearances: 95

Chelsea goals: 10

Honours

Europa League (1): 2018-19

Conor Gallagher has just completed his second full season in the Chelsea senior ranks, playing a starring role in central midfield and earning praise from the club's supporters.

However, despite the impact that he has made both on and off the pitch, Boehly and co are currently reluctant to hand the England international a new contract, instead wanting to try to cash in on his signature to boost Chelsea's position with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations.

Malang Sarr

Age: 25

Position: Centre-back

Transfer value: £3.4m

Joined: August 27, 2020

Joining fee: Free

Chelsea appearances: 21

Chelsea goals: 0

Honours

FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2021

The situation concerning Malang Sarr is somewhat bizarre. The Frenchman played an important squad role under Thomas Tuchel during 2021-22, yet has not played for Chelsea since.

Sarr returned from a loan spell at Monaco ahead of 2023-24, but there have been no sightings of the defender in almost a year. Departing by mutual consent over the coming months is a distinct possibility.
