Chelsea could be set to smash their own Premier League record this summer regarding player sales.
According to Transfermarkt records, the £314million the Blues received last summer in transfer income was the most any top-flight has banked in a single window.
This time around, Xabi Alonso's side are already on course to bank around £211.85m, without considering the potential departures of Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, and Liam Delap.
Chelsea started their campaign on the perfect note on Monday evening, winning 3-2 at west London rivals Fulham.
But Fernandez was booed by both sets of supporters at Craven Cottage and Manchester City are continuing to probe for the Argentine, who is thought to be open to the move.

Chelsea's informal deadline - presented to suitors - expired earlier this month, meaning the Blues will now drive a hard bargain and demand more than their previous £120m valuation to consider a sale.
The Blues have already sold defender Trevoh Chalobah to Como in a permanent deal worth an initial £25.7million plus £5.1m in add-ons.
Left-back Marc Cucurella also joined Real Madrid in a £51.8m deal worth £47.5m upfront and £4.3m in add-ons.
Tyrique George also joined Everton following his loan spell on Merseyside in a £24m deal worth £18m plus £6m in bonuses.
Young attacker Jimmy-Jay Morgan headed to West Brom, where he has made a bright start to life at the Hawthorns, in a deal that could reach £4m.
Alejandro Garnacho's Aston Villa loan could become permanent for £42.75m if certain criteria, thought to be related to appearances, are met.

Midfielder Andrey Santos also headed to Manchester United for around £50m after breaking into Chelsea's side under Enzo Maresca.
Young midfielder Omari Kellyman has also now signed for sister club Strasbourg in a deal worth a reported £5.13m.
Filip Jorgensen was also loaned to Strasbourg while Dastan Satpayev headed to Burnley on loan, though it's unclear whether loan fees were involved.
Benoit Badiashile also headed to Napoli on loan for an initial £2.57m loan fee plus £860k in bonuses; there is also a buy-option that could be triggered next summer for £23.09m.
Chelsea's bold recruitment under BlueCo means they are certainly not short of sellable assets and more exits and new arrivals cannot be ruled out before the September 1 deadline.
