Florent Malouda
Once so key to everything the club achieved, Malouda’s star has fallen considerably since last season. He’s not kicked a ball all year and was thought to be seeking a move away last summer, but a refusal to accept anything less than the £80,000 per week pay packet he’s on in London. At 32-years-old, one would have to question what exactly he could bring to the team now, especially since his match fitness will be nowhere near the standard required. Both Di Matteo and Benitez have overlooked him suggesting that the end is certainly nigh, and a move away looks more than likely come July.
Jeffrey Bruma
Despite being a Dutch international, there doesn’t seem to be a place for Bruma at Chelsea. He spent some time on loan at Championship side Leicester City and has since been based in Hamburg where after initially impressing, has struggled to hold down a regular first team spot the second time around. Apparently unhappy at spending so much time in Chelsea’s reserves, he’d be reluctant to head back to London if a first team spot wasn’t available – which doesn’t look likely.
