Just in: Chelsea midfielder to leave club in few days after latest club decision
According to a report, Chelsea offloading continues, and they look set to confirm another departure ‘in the next days’.
The Blues are looking to sell and loan out more players this week as they look to free up more space in their big squad and balance the financial books after the big signing of Romelu Lukaku this week.
The next player who looks set to depart is midfielder, Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to Calciomercato reporter, Daniele Longo.
He reports that he expects Bakayoko to leave Chelsea in the coming days, with both Rennes and Lyon interested and working on deals to sign him.

AC Milan and Napoli had both been linked but things on that front went a bit quiet, and now a return to France looks like it could be a possibility.
It is unclear whether this will be a loan or a permanent deal, but you’d expect it to be the latter.
