The incredible XI of players sold by Chelsea

Attacker- Mohamed Salah

Salah was initially signed as a replacement for Juan Mata

Yet another man who Chelsea will regret letting go when they did, Salah has gone on to become a top class player since leaving Chelsea in 2016. The Egyptian was another man who grew frustrated with a lack of action under Mourinho, so had loan spells in Italy with Fiorentina, and then Roma. He made that move to Roma permanent in 2016, but was only there for another year, before returning to England with Liverpool. With Liverpool, he reached the Champions League final, and broke the record for the most goals in a 38-game season.

Attacker- Diego Costa

There hasn’t been anyone in football who’s more of a marmite figure than Diego Costa. Some love him, some hate in, but the truth is, every football fan on the planet wants a player like Costa in their side. The striker spent three seasons with Chelsea, during which he won two Premier League titles, and scored 59 goals in all competitions. Unsurprisingly, his time with the Blues ended in controversial fashion, when he returned to Atletico after being told he wasn’t part of part of Antonio Conte’s plans by text.

Attacker- Romelu Lukaku

The third member of this XI who has ended up at Manchester United. Lukaku joined Chelsea back in 2011 when they won the race for the youngster and paid Anderlecht £18 million for his services. He made very few appearances for the Blues in his debut campaign and was later sent out on loan to West Brom, then Everton. It was Mourinho who sold Lukaku to Everton in 2014 for £28 million. Clearly, Mourinho recognised his mistake and re-signed the Belgian last year, but this time as Manchester United manager, in a deal worth £75 million.
