Following a season of unprecedented spending, in which Chelsea spent over a billion pounds on new signings only to finish 12th in the Premier League, the Blues need to sell players.
Fortunately then, there is a new superpower within the world of football - the Saudi Pro League - whose four state-owned clubs have offered a reported £100 million for seven Chelsea outcasts of very high wages.
That has led to suspicions around the relationship between Chelsea's majority shareholders Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at Chelsea's rumoured sales to Saudi Arabia, the ties between their owners and one of the world's most controversial dictatorships, and whether anything that is going on could be deemed cheating.
