The three Chelsea players are still rumoured to be leaving Stamford Bridge when the midseason transfer window closes on Thursday at 11 p.m.
More than £1 billion has been spent by the Blues on new players since their acquisition in May 2022. One of their simplest methods to balance the books and adhere to financial fair play requirements is to sell academy graduates, as these sales are regarded by regulators as 100 percent profit.
This season, Gallagher has been a near constant in Pochettino’s starting eleven, wearing the captain’s armband in Reece James’ absence. However, with just 18 months remaining on his contract, his club may still be open to offers.
With 13 league games this season, Broja is another player Chelsea is hoping to capitalise on. The striker is being courted by West Ham, Fulham, and Wolves, and his club is open to selling him for roughly £35 million.
Chalobah, on the other hand, has been linked to West Ham and has not participated in any games this season owing to injury.
Prior to Chelsea’s Premier League encounter with Liverpool on Wednesday, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said that there is “no news” regarding the trio’s departure from Stamford Bridge.

“There’s no news at this time,” Pochettino said.
Everything is calm, peaceful, and soothing right now. In meetings today, I talked with all of the players—not just them—and we are all comfortable with the team’s current state.
Pochettino compared Harry Kane’s situation at Tottenham ten years ago, when he was in charge of the north London team, to Broja’s situation last week.
The Chelsea boss reiterated on Tuesday that a transfer is not currently in the works while expressing his optimism that the Albanian international could handle the growing rumours surrounding his future.
I think we talked about that last week. “See, there’s always speculation,” he remarked.
We have to concede that speculation exists. Everything is quiet and there’s nothing to say. Here, everything is really easygoing and serene.
