Chelsea midfielder, Noni Madueke alongside winger Raheem Sterling and 12 others have been put up for sale in the summer transfer window under the leadership of manager, Enzo Maresca.
Following their strong finish in the Premier League — securing fourth place — and their triumphant Europa Conference League campaign, the Blues have reclaimed their place in next season’s Champions League.

Now under the direction of the Italian tactician, the club’s top brass are committed to bolstering the squad.
However, this will necessitate trimming the current roster to create both space and financial flexibility.
According to The Guardian, Chelsea have placed a large portion of the team on the transfer list as part of their broader restructuring efforts.
One of the most surprising names reportedly available is Noni Madueke, who found the net 11 times this season and made his senior England debut.
Despite his breakthrough, the winger is said to be viewed internally as having hit a plateau in his development.
João Félix, who signed permanently for £45 million after an impressive loan spell, is also on his way out. Having spent the second half of the season on loan at AC Milan, the Portuguese forward is now open to a permanent exit.
Chelsea are also exploring changes in goal, with both Robert Sánchez and Djordje Petrović reportedly up for sale — a potential indicator of a major overhaul between the posts.
Other players who may depart include defenders Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, and Trevoh Chalobah. Chalobah, in particular, came close to leaving last summer, and doubts about his future continue to swirl.
In the middle of the park, Enzo Maresca is reportedly open to parting ways with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Lesley Ugochukwu. Dewsbury-Hall, who followed Maresca from Leicester, has not established himself as a regular starter.
Reported players who could be sold includeChristopher Nkunku, João Félix, Noni Madueke, Robert Sánchez, Djordje Petrović, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu and Raheem Sterling.
