Four Chelsea players have reportedly been identified as summer transfer targets by Borussia Dortmund.
At a time when the first-team squad commenced pre-season training earlier this week, club officials are looking to facilitate the sales of as many of their outcast players as possible.
In excess of £135m has already been generated and reports have indicated that Chelsea are eager to raise a similar amount between now and September 1.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall appears in line to become the next permanent departure of Stamford Bridge in a deal worth between £28m and £29m.
However, according to journalist Sebastien Vidal, who was commenting on X, Chelsea have the chance of sending a further four players to Bundesliga giants Dortmund.

Which Chelsea players do Dortmund want to sign?
The report alleges that Dortmund are already closing in on the permanent addition of Carney Chukwuemeka, who spent the second half of 2024-25 at the Westfalenstadion.
Dortmund are said to be also showing an interest in academy graduate Tyrique George after it emerged over the weekend that the winger was open to leaving the West Londoners in search of more game time.
Having failed to close a transfer to Atletico Madrid, Renato Veiga remains available, the centre-back now seemingly wanted by Niko Kovac.
Meanwhile, fellow defensive outcast Axel Disasi is also an option for Dortmund as they bid to close the gap to the likes of Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
Vidal says that discussions have already started between the respective clubs to determine which - if not all - deals are plausible.

Can Dortmund afford four permanent transfers?
At one point, Dortmund were only prepared to sign Chukwuemeka on another loan with option to buy, but it is now claimed that a £22m deal is in the works.
With regards to the other three players, Chelsea may want £30m for George, £35m for Veiga and in the region of £15m to £20m for Disasi.
Selling Jamie Gittens to Chelsea for approximately £55m has provided Kovac with a transfer warchest, and Dortmund are about £50m in profit through their summer business thus far.
That said, it may be unrealistic for Chelsea to expect them to want to sign the quartet on permanent deals at the same time, a total package likely to cost between £100m and £110m.
Chelsea may be willing to negotiate deals providing that they come with obligations to buy next summer.
