5 reasons for Chelsea to worry if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League

#5 Spend heavily in the transfer window

The Blues will need to go big in the transfer market

If this report from The Daily Mail is to be believed, Hazard and Courtois are both targets for Real and if leave they leave, the Blues could struggle to challenge for the title next season.

In addition to this, they may have to spend big in order to attract top quality players to join them without Champions League football.

Considering the players that were sold in the last two transfer windows (eg: Neymar and Philippe Coutinho), the Stamford Bridge outfit may have to splash the cash in order to convince top quality players to join them in the summer.

The selling club could also hold Chelsea at ransom if they were to receive a massive fee from the sale of Hazard.

This would play in the selling club's favor, especially if the same player is also attracting interest from other top clubs in England and Europe.
