Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to sell Andre Schurrle in January.
The Sun says Mourinho will seek to cash in on Schurrle as he is forced to fund his own signing plans.
A source revealed: "Jose has to generate his own money to spend in January, but does not want to sell some of his biggest stars.
"So he's looking at second-tier players, and in his current form, Schurrle is the obvious choice.
"His form has been very weak this season.
"He still has a good rating and would give Jose the appropriate funds to move in the same (January) market."
