Xabi Alonso smiles in a press conference while working as Real Madrid manager
Chelsea have reached an agreement to sell one of their stars this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
With Chelsea looking to spend significantly this summer, the reality is some players will be forced to leave the club.
Xabi Alonso's side will need to offload some of their current squad in order to continue spending, as they've already had a busy summer window.
The Blues have already confirmed the signings of Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, and Danny Welbeck in the summer transfer window so far.
A host of players such as Valentin Barco, Giovanni Quenda and Emmanuel Emegha have also arrived, but those deals were agreed long before the start of the summer.
It'll be interesting to see how much more Chelsea will be willing to spend this summer, but it does feel like exits are inevitable.

Chelsea reach exit agreement
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso
According to Fabrizio Romano, Italian side Como have reached a verbal agreement to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah this summer.
Chalobah, described as 'flawless' by Tosin Adarabioyo, may have fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea after they confirmed the signing of Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace.
A move to Como gives Chalobah the opportunity to hopefully play more regular first-team football under an exciting young manager in Cesc Fabregas.
Chelsea retain sell-on clause
Trevoh Chalobah
GIVEMSPORT understands that the total fee for Chalobah is €30 million up front plus €6 million in add-ons.
Sources have confirmed that Chelsea also retain a sell-on clause in the contract, meaning they could make further money on Chalobah if he departs Como in the future.
Chalobah has already agreed personal terms with Como, and with a fee now agreed between the two clubs, it shouldn't be too long before he's officially a confirmed signing for Como.
Chelsea appear to have already replaced Chalobah with Lacroix this summer, so it made sense for them to green light this deal.
