However, manager Jose Mourinho may still be tempted by bolstering his squad and here are three players that could be leaving Stamford Bridge and three coming in.
OUT
Petr Cech
Having lost his place in the starting XI to Thibaut Courtois the future of the goalkeeper in West London is in doubt, although Mourinho is keen to keep hold of the 32-year-old for as long as he can.

Mohamed Salah
Signed from FC Basel in January this attacking midfielder has failed to establish himself at the Bridge and could be leaving just 12 months after first arriving in England.

Kurt Zouma
Another January signing now and a player who has impressed since his £12.5m switch from Saint-Etienne when he gets the chance, but could benefit from more regular first team football out on-loan.

Mattia Destro
Although Mourinho already has three strikers at his disposal, with Didier Drogba unlikely to play on beyond this term a replacement will be needed and Destro is unsettled at AS Roma.

Malcom
A young forward now who at 17-years-old is likely to be added to the seemingly ever increasing roster of players sent out on-loan, but with Malcom impressing for Corinthians any interested party will have to move quickly to sign him.

Antonio Rudiger
This Stuttgart defender has been making a real impression in the Bundesliga in recent times, although the Blues could face a battle to sign him with Rudiger admitting he prefers Arsenal.
