With four games left in the Premier League this season, Chelsea is fifth in the table.
The Blues have also made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League on the European front.
However, regardless of how things go from here, the summer transfer window at Stamford Bridge will be busy, with arrivals and departures.
If a report in the French outlet Footmercato is to be believed, Enzo Maresca is set to sell one of Chelsea’s key defenders, Wesley Fofana, this summer, owing to his precarious injury record.
The French club Marseille is also said to be interested in Fofana’s services and has had talks with the player.
The French defender has endured a tumultuous campaign this season, ravaged by a hamstring injury that has kept him out for most of it. He has only made 14 Premier League appearances so far this season with no goals or assists to his name.

What Fofana’s potential departure could mean for other Chelsea players
The possible sale of Fofana to Marseille could potentially impact other players at Stamford Bridge, as he is not the only player who has been stricken by injury this season.
The likes of Reece James and Romeo Lavia have also had a season plagued by injury. The Belgian, Lavia, in particular, has a similar record to Fofana in terms of games missed, but Fofana has been at Chelsea a lot longer.
If Maresca has grown frustrated with Fofana’s nagging injury record, he will have to take a call on Chelsea’s other injury-prone stars as well.
Regardless of what the future holds for Fofana and Chelsea in the summer, it will be worth keeping an eye on the happenings at the club during the upcoming summer transfer window, as it will give us a clear indication of the club’s ambitions going forward.
