Thomas Tuchel has put pen to paper on a new contract with Chelsea until 2024. Roman Abramovich was willing to reward the German for his hard work in the second half of the season as he guided the Blues to their second Champions League title.
Now Tuchel will begin to make changes to the squad he inherited back in January from Frank Lampard.
He has already made it clear that Tammy Abraham is not part of his plans while the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Emerson Palmieri and Fikayo Tomori are all expected to move on.
Kurt Zouma, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech could also follow depending on how ruthless Tuchel feels.
He is expected to stick with the same formation that brought Chelsea huge success, fielding a 3-4-3 system next season.
He has thrived in a back-three this season and Chelsea have already reached out to the Bundesliga club, who they did business with last summer.
Ben Chilwell and Reece James will keep their place in the wing-back roles.
In central midfield, N'Golo Kante is undroppable but he could have a new partner in crime.
Reports claim Chelsea are interested in signing Saul Niguez, with Atletico Madrid willing to sell.
