Sources close to the Mirror have revealed that Chelsea are looking to get rid of Ross Barkley ahead of the fast-approaching season.
The 28-year-old, who is thought to be paid over £100,000 per week, moved to Chelsea from Everton for £15million in January 2018 and was tipped for big things. However, the former England international has struggled to make an impact under various Blues’ bosses.
Barkley spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Aston Villa but the Midlands club turned down the option to make the move permanent after an unremarkable campaign. He returned to Stamford Bridge last season but played only six times in the Premier League, starting just once.
