Chelsea’s owners are determined to avoid a scenario in which all players enter the final 12 months of their contracts, with Kovačić attracting interest from Manchester City.

The owners are also turning their attention to players who will have two years left on their deals at the end of the season, with Aubameyang and Azpilicueta expected to leave.

Chelsea will also need to make big decisions on Havertz, Chilwell, and Gallagher, while Ziyech is expected to leave.

In addition to discussing the futures of players whose contracts expire in 2024, Chelsea is preparing to offer a new deal to defender Levi Colwill, who they want to return to the club next season.

Colwill has impressed on loan at Brighton and could compete for a place on the left side of Chelsea’s central defence with Benoît Badiashile next season.

Koulibaly has started Chelsea’s last three games and may be needed over what could be a crucial period for Potter after Chelsea released a statement on Silva’s injury, which confirmed damage to his knee ligaments.
