Ricardo Carvalho could leave Chelsea this summer with a number of clubs having already expressed an interest. The centre back has endured a torrid time with injuries this season, which have restricted the defender to just 12 Premier League appearances this term.

"I am available for a club who wishes to have me," the 31 year old said.

"But before being approached, an agreement must be found with Chelsea, although I am delighted that several clubs are interested in me.

"I have had four extraordinary years at Chelsea till this year, which has not been very good, indeed the worst of my career. I wasn't in great shape because I haven't played.

"But if there is no transfer, I will be fine at Chelsea."
