Chelsea are reportedly trying to sell seven more players this summer after securing £50.2m for offloading Joao Felix and Ishe Samuels-Smith.
The Blues recently sold Felix to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr for £43.7m and young defender Samuels-Smith to sister club Strasbourg for £6.5m.
They are the latest duo to depart Stamford Bridge, following Djordje Petrovic, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Noni Madueke through the exit door.
Chelsea are not done there, though, with the club sticking seven more players up for sale ahead of the new season, The Standard report.

Chelsea are keen to offload Raheem Sterling in the summer transfer window.
It’s thought that the Blues are happy to accept £20m for the 30-year-old Englishman, who has attracted interest from the likes of Fulham, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Serie A champions Napoli.
The Blues are also keen to secure an exit for Ben Chilwell before the new season gets started.
Chilwell still has two years remaining on his £200,000-a-week deal but Chelsea are struggling to find a buyer for the 28-year-old English left-back.
Recent reports have indicated that Chelsea could terminate the defender’s contract if they cannot find a buyer for him.
The third player Chelsea are looking to sell is 22-year-old Portugal international Renato Veiga.
Veiga was expected to join Atletico Madrid – but the deal has stalled after the La Liga side prioritised the signing of David Hancko.
Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, 27, has been put up for sale too following his loan spell at Aston Villa last term.

Disasi had reportedly attracted interest from Villarreal but they were not prepared to meet Chelsea’s asking price, in the region of €25-30m.
Carney Chukwuemeka, linked to Borussia Dortmund, with Juventus also expressing an interest, is the fifth player Chelsea are keen to offload.
Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja, meanwhile, are the sixth and seventh players Chelsea want to get off the books as soon as possible.
