Chelsea boss plans to abandon 28-year-old midfielder Barkley this summer


Chelsea 's 28-year-old midfielder Ross Barkley is reportedly planning to end his contract with the recruit, likely this summer, after he did not perform as well as coach Thomas Tuchel expected after joining the team, according to reports. The transfer window sold him.


Since his move from Everton to Chelsea in 2018, Barkley has played 58 games for Chelsea, scoring only 5 goals and helping the team win a Europa League title. His performance has not helped the team. Big, has never been able to occupy a place in the first team.


Barkley was loaned to Aston Villa in the Premier League last season, but his performance was not outstanding, and Chelsea coach Tuchel did not include him in the squad this season.


And with Chelsea vying for the opportunity to bring in 21-year-old Everton striker Anthony Gordon in the Premier League, Barkley's status in Chelsea, who can't actually contribute to the team, is in jeopardy. In addition, Chelsea are currently cutting players who cannot play a role in the lineup to reduce unnecessary financial burdens. Barkley, who was not included in the first team's huge salary list, is also one of the financial burdens of the team, so he gave up this name. The 28-year-old England midfielder is imperative.


It is understood that no team is willing to introduce the midfielder and make an offer to Chelsea. Chelsea is likely to adopt another plan, that is, to terminate the contract with Barkley, and the two sides part ways. Barkley is not expected to play in the Premier League for Chelsea this season.
