‘You Can Leave’ – Abramovich Ready To Let Star Player Leave In January
Chelsea would allow defender Gary Cahill to leave the club during the upcoming transfer window scheduled to start as from the 1st of January according to various media reports.
The 32-year-old had earlier raised concerns about his lack of playing time under new manager Maurizio Sarri before adding that he could leave the club when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
According to the report from the Guardian, senior Blues officials have told the retired England international centre-back that he can leave the club in search of more first-team opportunities.
The former Bolton Wanderers and Aston Villa defender has struggled to break into the first team in the new Premier League due to the preference for the centre-back partnership of David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger.
Cahill has played for just 21 Premier League minutes this season though he has been able to make five appearances for the Blues in all competitions.
The majority of his outings for Chelsea this season came in the cup competitions (Europa League and Carabao Cup).
The Three Lions of England international defender has been linked with several English clubs such as Manchester United, West Ham United, Southampton, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa.
