A number of Chelsea players could walk for free when the current campaign ends if the club fails to renew their contracts.
The Blues tied down one of the important players, N’Golo Kante as the Frenchman signed a five-year deal. However, Chelsea will have plenty of decisions to make in the coming months. Midfielder Cesc Fabregas and defender Gary Cahill are said to be on their way out with Italian side AC Milan termed as a possible destination for the duo.
Rob Green and Willy Caballero will not cause too much of a headache, either way, while Lucas Piazon, following five loans in five years, is unlikely to stay.
However, having started every Premier League game under Maurizio Sarri, David Luiz looks set for a new contract after reviving his career in west London, while Olivier Giroud, despite still being a peripheral figure, will feel he has a case for a new deal come the summer, given the striking options currently available.
