Why Chelsea could lose 4 first team defenders for free next season

It's a possibility that Chelsea end up losing Antonio Rudiger, Andres Christensen, Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta next season.

All four senior centre-backs are out of contract next summer and could well leave the club on a free transfer if nothing happens before then.

Chelsea's rock-solid defence has been among their best assets this season, with the Blues keeping 13 clean sheets in all competitions so far this season.

In fact, Thomas Tuchel's defence have only allowed 17 goals since he became gaffer last January.

Chelsea are reportedly working on renewing the contracts of the aforementioned players, but there's no new development.
