Antonio Conte insists he is only just getting started with Chelsea poised to clinch the title.
The Italian will bring the trophy back to Stamford Bridge this week, if his side beat Middlesbrough tonight and West Brom on Friday.
“For sure, we are in a moment of transition.” he said. “We are losing a lot of top players who have written the story, the history, of this club."
Diego Costa is set to go to China in the summer and Conte says: “This season we lost Ivanovic, we lost Mikel and, next season, we'll have lost John [Terry] - three players.
“Don't forget Oscar, who went in the January transfer market when we sold him.
“Now it's very difficult to face this problem [Costa] and I don't want to think about this problem.
"I want to focus on the present and be prepared to face every situation and find the right solution."
Chelsea could bring in up to six or more players this summer with reinforcements being sought throughout the side.
Conte added: “I think that we are building. We are building. We are starting to build this season. If we are able to win, it's a great achievement for us.
When you start to build, it's very difficult to win during the season. Instead we stayed there.
“Now we are building to try and create a good foundation to ensure that Chelsea always stay in and fight for the Champions League.
"We have to try to win the Champions League and the title.
