The list of four Chelsea players who have been released by the club at the end of the 2025/26 season have been confirmed.

🔎 They include:

➡️ Brodi Hughes

The defender leaves the Blues after 13 years in Chelsea’s Academy. The versatile defender joined as an Under-8 and moved through the ranks at Cobham. He spent the previous campaign on loan at League One club AFC Wimbledon.

➡️ Richard Olise

The full-back moves on after a decade with the club. Signed by Chelsea as an Under-9, Olise featured throughout the age groups in the Academy and was named in the first-team squad for the UEFA Conference League trip to Astana during the 2024/25 season.

➡️ Samuel Rak-Sakyi

The midfielder who has made four first-team appearances, will also depart the Blues this summer. Joining the Academy as an eight-year-old, Rak-Sakyi moved through the Academy ranks at Cobham while also featuring for England at youth level.

During the 2024/25 campaign, Rak-Sakyi made his debut in the UEFA Conference League against Noah and featured on three more occasions in the competition.

➡️ Jimi Tauriainen

Joining Chelsea in 2020, the Finnish youth international midfielder was named among the first-team substitutes for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool in 2024.

In the next game, an FA Cup fifth-round tie versus Leeds United, he made his first-team debut. A Premier League debut followed later in that season, when he was brought on against @Tottenhm Hotspur.

Danny Murphy urges Alonso to give Liam Delap another chance:

🗣 "Delap is a young lad, and he brings some characteristics that Chelsea don’t have. He’s different to Joao Pedro so I think Xabi Alonso will give him a crack."

‼️Chelsea have won the race to sign Wigan Athletic 18-year-old youngster Harrison Bettoni, who is out of contract at the Brick Community Stadium this summer, and the Blues have moved to secure his signature for minimal compensation.

🚨🇪🇸 The Marc Cucurella situation remains OPEN!

If a good bid arrives for Chelsea and for the player, he could still leave the club. The player was respectful today when asked questions and will not force a move. Atleti love Cucurella and are on it! 👀

Reece James 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🚨🧤 Chelsea are expected to go into next season with Robert Sanchez competing with Mike Penders for the no.1 spot.

Any incoming GK would likely need to represent a significant upgrade for the club to change direction.
