CHELSEA are reportedly ready to let Malang Sarr leave on a free transfer despite having two years left on his contract.
Sarr has been unable to cement a place in the team at Chelsea and it looks like he could be on his way out as a result.
Chelsea are reportedly willing to let Malang Sarr leave on a free transferGetty
According to Foot Mercato, The Blues are willing to let Sarr leave for free in the remaining days of the transfer window.
The former Nice centre-back is still under contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2025 and a free transfer would be an incredible deal for those interested.
Both Nottingham Forest and Fulham are said to be pushing to try and complete a deal before Friday’s deadline.
Sarr arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2020, but has only featured in eight Premier League games during his time at the club.
The 24-year-old has been sent on loan to both Monaco and Porto, but looks likely to now make a permanent exit from the London club.
Part of the reason Chelsea could be so keen to move him on is his astronomical wages.
It has previously been reported that the Frenchman is earning a whopping £100,000 per week at the club.
Chelsea are looking to trim down their bloated squad with other exits expected to happen before the transfer window slams shut.
