Adarabioyo will be a free-agent when his Fulham contract expires on June 30 and he has been given permission to speak with the Blues.

The centre-back has already agreed personal terms over a transfer to the club and an official announcement could be made pretty soon.

Amidst this, Daily Mail claim that the Blues are preparing for Chalobah's exit and it could be fastened by the arrival of Adarabioyo.

The Blues need to recoup as much as £100 million to balance their books and they are prepared to focus on offloading graduates.

In doing so, they would be guaranteed pure profit. Aside from Chalobah, Conor Gallagher , Ian Maatsen and Armando Broja could be sold.

The Blues are also pushing for the departure of Romelu Lukaku , though they have yet to receive any suitable proposals on the table.

Lukaku has been linked with multiple Serie A clubs lately.
