Conte is certainly moving out of Stamford Bridge this summer after his poor performances with the Blues this season coupled with his ill-relationship with the Chelsea board.
Despite winning the Premier League in his debut season at Chelsea, Roman Abramovich is set to show him the exit door as he is tipped to sign former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique as the Italian replacement.
There are some players who could be moving out of Chelsea with the Italian tactician by the end as of the season, due to their impressive performances which have endeared them to new suitors while some could be leaving the Stamford Bridge stadium in search of regular playing time ahead of next season.
Below are the top six players who are linked out to other clubs by the end of the season.
Gary Cahill
The England international defender was named the club’s captain after John Terry’s departure last season but the 32-year-old has found game-time too hard to get and he is tipped to move out of the Premier League Champions in search of more first-team appearances.
Thibaut Courtois
Though his form this season was nothing compared to last season, the Belgian netminder remains a world-class goalkeeper and he’s being tracked by Real Madrid who seems to have given up in their chase after United goalkeeper David De Gea.
David Luiz
The Brazilian player who rejoined Chelsea from PSG last season could yet again move out of Stamford Bridge this summer after failing to make a meaningful impact on the club this season.
The 30-year-old defender has only featured in just four Premier League matches for the Blues in 2018, his injury crisis didn’t help matters throughout the campaign.
Marcos Alonso
Chelsea might fail to tie the Spaniard to the club beyond this season as Barcelona are reportedly interested in buying the lively and impressive wing-back.
Despite having a contract with the Blues till 2021, Marcos Alonso could be seen putting on a Barcelona jersey in the upcoming season.
Cesc Fabregas
The former Arsenal and Barcelona player is uncertain about his future as he hopes to feature more regularly than what he’s getting at Chelsea.
The Spaniard hasn’t been too convincing this season but his quality is never in doubt and there are numerous clubs wanting to sign him should he decide to move out of the West London club in the summer.
Eden Hazard
Just as Alonso, Eden Hazard has had a great season and his longtime admirer Real Madrid are reportedly set to table an increased offer for the Belgian playmaker.
The 27-year-old is one of the best performers in Conte’s team this season and it could be hard for Chelsea to retain the service of the player who earlier declared his love to play under Zinedine Zidane’s guide.
